    I assume you've done the standard Samsung procedure and checked for bad caps? The symptoms are very similar to a main board going crazy due to unstable DC.

      Thanks Tom66 for your so quick response appreciate:i
      I did not yet test anything cause the tv is not mine and is still at my friends house and before i go to his house and open the tv i want to investigate more
      as you can reed on the Youtube responses from other people trying to repair it they had no success, they say they swapped power supply,Main Board,
      Y-main,with no success,and some say this is not a Capacitor easy fix.
      If you can find anything else that could lid to the solution please post,

        It's screaming main board or power supply to me. Especially when the audio was hissing. Only the main board can do that, unless the power supply voltages are unstable, but it's still the main board producing the signal (just under "duress" if it makes sense.) Also, when it was almost OK (picture still a little bit messed up; looked like some columns were shifted) there was -no- functioning OSD; but when it booted properly, the OSD appeared.

          Had one of these given to me for free, it was missing the power board.. They had taken it to a repair shop and they told them it need a power board.. The place was going to charge them $200 to repair the power board.. Then the TV place said the board was beyond repair and it was going to be $500 to get a new board.. So they told them no way and took the tv and headed home.. They stopped by sams on the way home and bought a new one.. Well this is probably more they ya all wanted to know.. Well its now mine.. I pulled the back off thinking it was going to be caps.. NOPE.. THE POWER BOARD ISNT EVEN IN THE TV So I ordered a new PWB and installed.. It click on screen glows then recyles ..After awhile of that, it will final show a snowy screen with the small menu window box in the corner then goes to multi colored vert lines with the snow.. They starts the power cycling over.. I really want to fix this, because my LG 50 is suffering from the bad bad red sparkles and I need this to replace it... So have you figured yours out IVtec

            This boards that's what you need, they're not expensive.try the power board first, then if it doesn't solve it get the main board.

              Careful, the last part is a Y-sustain, not a power supply. Obviously been labelled by someone who doesn't know what a power supply or sustain is...

                Well I am pretty sure its the mainboard.. I put a hair dryer on the mainboard and it works great.. But the problem is trying to find a replacement.. OS everywhere

                  If it works when you heat the mainboard shouldnt be much wrong ( famous last words) Can you pinpoint a place where to heat to get it working- what
                  components on that place - caps - voltage regulators.
                  How about a picture?
                  Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

                          Care to elaborate your method of "reflowing" the board?

                          I've had several TV's I've replaced the mainboards in and I would surely like to try this "reflowing" technique before I spend any more money on mainboards.

                          Thanks.

                            Same technique used to repair Xbox 360 motherboards.
                            Seems to be surprisingly common with LCD TVs now.

                              I used a hot air gun this time, didnt heat whole board just did the ic with the heat sink & two ic to its right that look the same (customer picked it up so cant remember the location #) there are test points or little dots close to these chips to probe to see if solder is melted once molten move to another ic

                                Got this tv back worked for 2 months now back to same issue. now that I own it think going to remove the bga ic600 & the one below it these are to the left of the heat sink ic chip. If it dosent work off to moduslink for rebuild as these main boards are scarce.

                                  The tv turned off with a bang. I have found 2 parts blown short on the Y Board:

                                  Q5019 (FGD4536 - 360V, 50A, PDP IGBT)
                                  D5030 (SF10A400HD - ULTRA FAST RECOVERY POWER RECTIFIER)

                                  I have spent a long time trying to find other shorts as when I replace them they blow again.

                                  I bought 5 of each from china so have some spare still.

                                  I see other people replaced these and the tv worked. I see mention of the gate driver having failed but there are no shorts on it or between the pins on it but I guess it could be faulty.

                                  by Spudgun
                                  Hello esteemed members. I appreciate that my question will strike some as being somewhat childishly simple, but it genuine perplexes me! I have repaired several laptops before by removing a faulty capacitor that was short-circuiting the motherboard, whereupon the laptop would then work. For me, it begs the question that, if the current can bypass where the capcitor was when it has been removed, why didn't it just bypass it when it was present and faulty,? I can't get my head round the premise that if the other side of the capacitor is connected to ground, then why doesn't the current simply bypass...

                                  I have an Acer Aspire A317-53 laptop with faulty onboard ram modules, after online searches, I have only found two options to get it working :
                                  - first one is to modify le bios to disable the onboard ram.
                                  - second one is to disable the onboard ram by desoldering some components on the mainboard.

                                  so after some hours google-ing, i have to give-up the modified bios option, main reason is I couldn't find anywhere a such modified Bios, alternate reason is that if windows update makes a bios update, the problem is always here...
