I'm trying to fix this Samsung 32" LCD TV (I've written about this before). The TV kept turning itself off after 30 seconds. To solve this problem I bought a replacement main board from eBay. When I installed it, the TV did stay on for longer than 30 seconds however the picture was not right- I think it was because it had the wrong panel programmed into it I opened the service menu and tried a few different panel types but couldn't find exactly the right one, I though I left it on one that looked kinda OK.
At that point I'd decided I'd had enough for that day, and that I would be better off opening the set again, getting the panel name off the back and working out what the right setting was rather than just guessing.
So I turned the TV back on the next day and now.... I'm getting this stuff (not my picture) http://static.daniweb.com/images/att...1/IMG_4006.jpg
The screen starts black and slowly these lines appear all over the screen.
What I've tried:
a) I've tried factory resetting the set by holding exit down for 20 seconds or so, pressing left than enter. I'm not sure this is working though- it seems to freeze, the power button no longer works and I have to remove the power.
b) I've tried factory resetting the set via the service menu, but I'm doing it without being able to see the menu, although I think I had it.
c) I've had a look at the connectors on the t-con since I moved the set between days, and I've reseated the connectors and tested the fuse- all good.
Any tips?
