    Samsung PS51E550 Plasma TV

    Hello,
    I am having Samsung PS51E550 Plasma TV. While the TV was working, a crackling sound heard & video went off with audio still ON. After switching it off & ON, the red LED on TV blinks six times & then off.
    Opened TV cover & observed foll
    a) Green LED on the small PCB blinks at @5-6sec ON & off for 3-4 secs. Red LED on logic board ON
    b)Vs & Va on power supply board raises momentarily to 209v & 58v resp & then drops.
    c) Cold test on Y-main board shows all 3 pins of FGPF4536 IGBT short to Grnd.
    How to confirm Y -Buffer board ( connected between Y-main board & plasma screen ) is OK before replacing Y-main board with another ok board??
    Pl kindly suggest.​

        Tried by checking any dead short between Y buffer board input socket & the output socket of the Y buffer board as instructed in the youtube link using a DMM. Couldn't find any dead short.
        a) Any idea of checking the supply voltages on the Y buffer board ?? their values & pinouts on Y buffer board?? So that it can be checked in the present fault condition so as to confirm that there is atleast no power supply short on Y buffer board???
        b) As already mentioned, the Vs & Va voltages are momentarily generated to correct values at power ON to TV ( without switching ON the ON button on TV), but then the voltages slowly drop to zero ie probably board going to shutdown mode. Checked the 15V, 5V on the power supply board & are OK & remaining constant. As mentioned the IGBT on Y main board is found short.
        I have now rec'd a Y main board from ebay. But before replacing it I wanted to confirm the main power supply board & Y buffer board are OK. I am also not sure whether the crackle sound heard before video going OFF was due to IGBT failure on Y main board.
        c) Is there any method to check the power supply board after removing the Y main board from circuit ( just disconnecting the power cable plug (cable coming from X board to Y main board) is not sufficient as there is a flat ribbon cable ( for feedback & control signals) connected from Y main to logic board ????
        d) Since 5v, 15v supply are constant & ok & also Va, Vs rising to their respective defined values before slowly dropping to zero, Can V conclude that main power supply board ( generating various supply voltages) is OK???
        e) If anyone can pl kindly share his expertise so that I can replace the rec'd Y main board with the faulty one on the TV.
        Awaiting for kind guidance.
        Rgrds.

          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.

          Assuming...

          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

          Samsung 59" plasma PN59D550C1F seeking advice on mystery power board issue
          by Cooperr
          I picked up this TV from Facebook Marketplace, original owner described it as "screen went black after a pop" and I hoped to see an obvious fuse or cap to replace. Doesn't seem to be the case, but my experience and electrical knowledge are kind of limited for this.

          The power board (BN44-00445A, see attached) turns on and Vs and Va seem to momentarily have power, then they steadily drain to zero over a minute or two as if they're only getting power from capacitors. I've been measuring Vs and Va from the test pads, with and without the other boards connected to the power board...

          Upgrading a Samsung ue55nu7096u with logic board from an ue55ru7105k -- good idea?
          by ohren
          I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.

          I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.

          The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively....

          Samsung LN46C630K1F – Intermittent Backlight, BN44-00341B Power Board

          Summary for TL-DR readers:
          • Backlight is intermittent, may come on with TV boot or not. No flickering, never fails during TV on.
          • Have obtained Samsung schematic & service documents - Can upload if helpful.
          • Have read ALL applicable threads
          • C1818 and CP820 replaced as low hanging fruit
          • CN802 data taken for normal and failed BL operation. SUMMARY: Pin 2 - 5vDet = 3.52 @normal, 0.0 @BL fail. Pin 6 - EPWM = 1.631 @normal, 1.058 @BL fail.
