    Samsung PN50C490B3DXZA power issue

    Plasma tv was on loud pop wife says it shut down. When I came in the tv was lifeless. Unplugged it and waited a while. Plugged back in red standby was on. Tried turning the set on got a cycle of 5 tries where the relays click and then nothing.

    I have unplugged the x main board same relay clicks.

    If I unplug the logic board it will signal the tv is on plays the tune.

    Sounds to me like a short, where should I start?

    Have you tried isolating the Y-main?

            OK, if you isolate the X-main from the Y-main what does it do? Startup tune?

              So if I unplug the X-main but leave the Y-main plugged in clicks...if I unplug the Y-main (vs,va etc plug) I get the start up. My voltages on start up are correct 206v on the vs.

              I am back to my original diagnosis of the Y-main shorted... am I missing something or am I on the right track?

                It is possible X-main is also bad. While rare, it is suggested on these panels which chain the energy recovery circuit (combined ERC) it's suggested to replace both boards simultaneously.

                    Really? The boards can likely be acquired for under $75. What 50" HD 720p 3D plasma can you get for $75?

                      best price i have found is $198 plus shipping which can be 50-200 bucks plus 5% exchange on us funds and 5% gov't tax if I need both boards its $500 i can buy a new one for that

                        Samsung Series 9 - BIOS issue
                        by Kjell
                        After installing Linux, I can no longer enter the BIOS of my Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) laptop. When pressing [F2] during boot I simply get a black screen. Same thing when pressing [F10] and choosing "Setup" from the "App Menu" tab. Apparently this is a relatively common issue with Samsung laptops of that generation, but unfortunately i haven't been able to resolve the issue (yet).

                        Things i've tried so far; reinstalled Windows 10, checked for redundant boot entries, tried to factory reset using the emergency keyhole, attempted to clear the NVRAM by physically...

                        Samsung DM32D – Red LED blinks 5 times, won’t start (possible mainboard issue)
                        by Nairolf
                        Hello,

                        I have a Samsung DM32D display.
                        When I try to power it on, the red LED blinks 5 times and nothing happens—the unit won’t start.

                        Here’s what I have tried so far:
                        1. Disconnected the cable between the mainboard and the power supply → the backlight turns on.
                        2. Disconnected the main T-CON ribbon cable → same issue as before, the LED still blinks 5 times.
                        3. Disconnected one of the two T-CON ribbons to the panel (tested each one separately) → same issue, the LED blinks 5 times.

                        From these tests, I suspect the problem might be on the mainboard. Could anyone...

                        Samsung SyncMaster 740n Phase Control Issue
                        by vincentedel
                        Hello,
                        I'm having an issue with the Samsung 740n's phase control setting. When I use the automatic adjustment, it sets the value to around 54 (with a range of 0-100), and the picture looks clear and sharp. However, after some time—like after playing a game—the text starts to look blurry. When I auto-adjust again, it may increase the value to 80, and everything becomes sharp once more. Yet, after a while, whether it's a few hours or a day later, the same blurriness returns, and I have to adjust it again.

                        I'm using the Samsung 740n monitor drivers instead of the default plug-and-play...

                        QE65Q800TATXXC Samsung TV Issue
                        by Manucsl
                        Hello.

                        My TV is a QE65Q800TATXXC Samsung TV.

                        Issue : When you plug the 220V, voltages are OK on the power board and you can hear the click from the relay, but TV is not starting when power button is pressed. Red led is blinking when you press power button. But no images or sound ( Back-light is off )
                        Then if you disconnect the cable from the main board to the power supply, the TV back-light turns on.
                        Any ideas to check would be very appreciated 😊

                        After reading some posts on this forum, I suspect an eeprom issue so I bought a CH341A to dump...
