I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.
I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and upon installation get no picture at all. Reinstall the old Tcon board, and the picture returns again for the previously mentioned 10-15 minutes. I returned the ‘new' Tcon board as defective, and they sent me a replacement. Same symptom. Black screen on power up. Once again, Reinstall the old Tcon board, and the picture and menus return again for another 10 minutes. Power cycle returns picture.
I'm skeptical that I received two defective Tcon boards, but it seem odd that the symptom is worse with the new boards than with the original board. Looking for any recommendations before I scrap this TV completely and move on.
Thank you in advance!
