    Samsung Plasma TV Power Supply Issue


    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 TV to begin boot up. A visual inspection of the power supply board found two bulging capacitors CX834 and CX835, both 2200ufd 10v electrolytics. Not having a schematic of the board I had hopes that this was the issue and replaced them. Turning the TV back on it began boot up however another fried sound and burnt electronics oder occurred and the TV went back into relay clicking mode. This time I see nothing obvious visually but using my nose, it smells like the burnt area appears to be near the two transformers located to the right center of the board.
    I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this board who can throw out some ideas as to what has failed? Why does removing the logic board connector allow the TV to start boot up? The green LED's on that board do flash initially.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Wanted to provide an update. Looking closely around transformer TX801, I found some scorch marks near CS810 and RX807. Pulling those components off the board and testing each, both appear to be Ok. RX807 is a 40 miliohm current sensing resistor. I did see some melting on the plastic case of CS810 but it measured ok at 47nfds. That area is in very close proximity to one of the primary side terminals of transformer TX801. Measuring across the primary terminals of the transformer it is showing short. I would think there should be some very low resistance there from the transformer windings. TX801 also appear to have a burnt oder. Some I am thinking this is the bad part. Also did some reflow on any questionable soldering on the board, though nothing looked real objectionable.

    I don’t think I could find a replacement transformer as it’s marking look specific to a Samsung proprietary component. Here are the markings:
    50FHD-W-TX801
    SC080121CI SC-03B

    The secondary is a multi-tap output

    Maybe someone has some thoughts on locating one of these transformers.

    Also looking for a complete power supply board to buy but no one seems to have this available anymore, probably due to its age. Also don’t want to spend a lot of money on it as its a 2008 TV.

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Samsung Power Supply Board BN44-00874F
          by Nicktronic
          Hey everyone,

          This power supply board is hard to find but there are repair kits available. This board had a blown fuse, FP801S, blown PFC MOSFET, QP802CS and ceramic cap, CP809. I replaced them with parts I already had and tested the rest of the parts that would've come in the repair kit and they were fine. I powered the board up on the bench expecting, in typical Samsung power supply board fashion, to see all my output voltages but, nothing. 0 volts on CNL801, CNM801 and CNT801. The only thing I have is 170vdc on the filter caps. No standby voltage either.

          Anybody...

          Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
          by Asraf Atb
          Hi everyone,

          Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

          Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

          I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....

          Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
          by sam_sam_sam
          I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

          This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board

          After all of...

          Need advice testing a samsung power supply board with scope
          by repair-it
          I am attempting to test a samsung power supply board to verify the pfc ic is working. I am powering up the board with my isolation transformer. The board turns on fine but when I attempt to connect the ground for the scope probe, it trips out the isolator. I was taught not to 'float my scope' so I am wondering if I should test without connecting the ground lead or would that be asking for trouble? Not sure how else to test, I don't have a portable scope. I could plug direct to mains power but that would bypass the safety factor.
