    Samsung LNT4671FX/XAA Video Problem

    Thought I'd start a new thread for this one. I've got this TV working, by replacing the FRC board, but I'm still getting weird results with the display. Often, the TV has trouble displaying graphics, such as DVD menus or overlay graphic on sporting events. DVD or bluray video is fine, but the graphics (like subtitles or menus) are often displayed twice or flicker annoyingly. Below is a picture of my XBOX media center with the menu repeated both in the top and the bottom of the display. Anyone have any idea what would cause this? I'm thinking the replacement FRC board isn't working correctly...

    What was the problem you were having with the TV before you replaced the FRC board?

      It would power up normally but after about 10 minutes the bottom half of the screen would blank out and the tv would begin continuously rebooting. Swapping out the intermediate board (FRC) solved that problem. I've assumed that the issue was heat realated, either bad caps on the FRC board or bad solder joints on the processor on the FRC board. I haven't messed with the old board or checked the caps.

        One more bump just in case anyone has seen this...

          It has the tab bond problem, its extremely common with this model Samsung. (I had over 5 same panels with the exact same problem)

          The FRC board is not your issue, and Im sure the first one before you replaced it is still perfectly working. but while removing the back and moving around the panel, the tab bonds were able to get a better connection and temporary solve your problem.

          To get a better fix out of it youll need to remove the frame and place something in between the tabs and frame in order to give some pressure to the connections.

            That being said.... I have encountered issues with FRC and static interfaces before.. I would try turning off motion enhancement in the menus. There may be a software update for this TV to fix this issue, from Samsung. If the TV has a service or customer USB port, installation is simple.
            Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

              Interesting. Why would a tab bonding issue only show up when graphics are displayed? I can watch an entire Bluray movie with no problem EXCEPT when the menus are displayed. That sounds like processing to me, not a physical bond issue. I did attempt to "reseat" the connections when I first got the TV and it didn't help. Only switching out the FRC brought it to life.

              Tom, I've turned off the motion enhancement with no change. I'll see if there's a software update.

                Hm I just briefly read it over and looked at the photo. Wait so it only happens when the menu is displayed? Otherwise itll be fine?

                  Yep. Occasionally broadcast signals like commercials will have trouble too, but only on certain "cuts". So... say in the commercial, there will be a cut away to another scene, which will jitter or double the image, but when it cuts back to the prior scene it's fine. Very weird. I'm going to pull the FRC board and test the capacitors.

                    Samsung UN55MU6103F video problem; has colored stripes on the display
                    by alro7779
                    Hello, everyone!

                    A co-worker gave me a 55-inch Samsung TV model UN55MU6103F so I can try to fix the following problem... As soon as I plug it in to the wall, the TV turns on, and the display shows a few stripes all over the screen. I took off the back cover and disconnected both ribbon cables that go to the display (one at a time) so by doing that I can narrow down the bad section of the problem, but in both cases the display turns black. I know there are some voltages that I have to check (VGH, VGL, etc.) but don't know what reading each has to show. If anyone could guide me on this,...

                    Mi TV 4 Pro-Samsung Panel LSC550FN20 - Video problem, backlight and Audio works fine.
                    by SolarFlare
                    Hi,

                    My barely 3 year old TV has stopped displaying video, although the video output comes for a few seconds after turning ON which displays the manufacturers logo then shows the home screen (all this with some blue flicker) then the video goes blank and the screen is dark blue with the backlight on. The audio output works perfectly and the TV also takes in voice commands(smart TV).

                    The TCON board has the following Chips -
                    Samsung VTU63A0
                    RT6939 - 2nos.

                    and all these chips are getting real hot within a minute, I dont know if this is normal....

                    Help on Video Problem on Dell Inspiron 7459
                    by Spikeman
                    Hi, I'll tell you the story of this PC.
                    The PC was repaired because it had a shorted power supply. What happened was that the plastic covering the buffer battery positioned by the manufacturer on the capacitor melted, thus generating a short.
                    After the repair, the PC worked, I installed Windows 11 and I may have had some problems with the video drivers, but after a bit of tinkering I think I solved them.
                    However, the PC later presented the problem in the video shared very frequently.

                    The problem also occurs at startup, in the bios and when using it as a monitor thanks...

                    Samsung UN55JU650DF network/streaming problem
                    by howardc64
                    Fixed a 9 year old UN55JU650 by replacing backlight. Original backlight LED was still working after 27k! hours but terrible picture of course. Few LEDs were out, 5-6 lens fell off (bright white spots) and another few popped off with slightest force. Surviving LEDs were all slightly blue so picture has a blue tint.

                    This TV runs older Tizen OS (updated to latest version, see pic) and have problems with network (wifi or ethernet) connection. The Tizen UI frequently switch to coax input source while changing content sources. . If no good signal (coax not connected, no prior antenna/cable...
