    Samsung lw26a33wx - No picture

    Hi Guys. I'm new here and very much a noob but have a real interest in fixing stuff.

    I got this Samsung lw26a33wx from a friend of mine when it spotted working recently. Symptoms are that it powers up, makes the power up noise but nothing comes on the screen. At one point it did show a very faint picture.

    After a few searches it seems as though its the inverter transformer. So I took it apart and located the board. With the back off i plugged it back in and powered it up one of the two two transformers makes an electrical kinda hissing sound for a little bit.

    My real question is how do you actually test each of these transformers? I've got a multimeter, but I don't really know what I'm doing with it?

    The hissing transformer is definitely bad. That hissing sound is from arcing inside. Not sure which pins are for the high voltage, but with the power off, off you can measure the resistance of them to see if there are any abnormal readings.

      See Here http://www.lcdparts.net/TransformerD...ProductID=3189

      Power off for 5 mins or so then meter on ohms 2000 test S1 to S2 then S3 to S4
      on every transformer and post the results
      Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

        Awesome, cheers guys. I wasn't quite sure if I set my crappy multi meter to 2000 ohms, however testing them all from the points you said all read the same apart from the top one where two points read nothing. This is also where the hissing was coming from.

        Got a replacement on order now Will let you know how I get on.

        Cheers

          I fixed one of these a while ago and it was a bad inverter transformer too.

              Just a quick update to say the replacement Inverter Transformer was soldered in place today and now the TV is working perfectly

              With that and the SNES I fixed yesterday, I seem to be on a roll!!
