    Samsung Plasma PN50B400P3D Won't Power Up.

    When I power the TV on I hear the standard double click, followed by a faint 'tic tic tic' noise from the PSB and then double click and power off. Nothing shows up on the screen. Red light on front of TV lights during power up attempt as well as the green light on the control board.

    All boards appear to be very clean with no visual signs of trouble that I can find so far. Caps look great. Back of boards look good as well (haven't pulled out x main yet).

    After doing some reading, tried powering up the TV without the Y and X main connected. Like many others, I got the samsung chime and TV appeared to stay powered on even though there was no picture. Hitting the power button triggered another chime and TV powers down. Tried the same test with just Y Main attached and get same original result (couple clicks then gives up).

    Because of this test I thought I had narrowed the problem down to the Y Main. Not sure if that is the case or not. I used my multimeter to test the 'things' (sorry, It's getting late) attached to the heat sinks and got some crazy results. I'll attach my chart below. The diagram represents the two heatsinks on the board and the readings I'm getting across all leads.

    Not sure what it all means. Would love some advise. I'm new to this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Your results seem a little odd. I've found that these parts usually fail completely short (0.000). I'd figure on a replacement Y-main. Personally, I'd replace the Y-buffer, also. Be sure to check the X-main.

      Thanks Capkid. There is another active thread for the exact same TV with nearly identical symptoms. The OP has replaced the Y-main, X-main, then control board and finally PSB with no change in behavior to the set. Hoping to pinpoint the problem before throwing parts at it. The thread has now gone completely cold.

      I'm going to get my hands on a better MultiMeter and test the board again.

        I think it's wise to try a different meter, because the readings look strange to me.

          I too have the same issue with my Samsung pn50b400p3dxsa. Has anyone found a solution. If I unplug the power supply to the Y-Main the tv turns on and off, with no picture.

            Samsung PN50C540G3FXZA 50" Plasma, power cycling, Y-Main problem, Canada
            by bcstedt
            Just starting to crack into this one and wanted to get the ball rolling.

            At power on (plug in), power light on, relays click, repeat (sometimes)

            After disconnecting Y-Main from SMPS power stays on and boot up jingle is heard from speakers

            Removed Y-Main for inspection and testing

            by Dani_2024
            Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
            I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.

            Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

            Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
            by PantherDave
            Hi all!

            I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

            I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

            Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
            by GLISIT
            Hi all,

            TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


            I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

            A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

            Samsung Plasma TV Power Supply Issue
            by lp20th
            I have a vintage 2008 Samsung 50” Plasma TV, Model code PN50A550S1FXZA with a power supply part number BN44-00222A. I repaired the power supply board several years ago finding a couple of cold solder joints on the back side of the board and it's worked great up until now. Recently a fried sound occurred with the smell of burnt electronics and the TV shut down. Trying to turn it back on yielded the typical relay clicking with no TV boot up. Upon investigation, removing feeds to the other boards within the TV it was found that disconnecting the logic board from the power supply allowed the...
