    Samsung LE37B530P7W no sound or picture

    Hi guys

    I got this tv that won't turn on
    Problem is next: when plugged in stdby led is on, but when try to turn it on with remote led blinks and apparently it turns on but there's nothing on screen, neither there is samsung chime. I can see that set is responding on remote commands because led is blinking when some of keys is applied.

    Measured voltages on PS and they are all present when interconnect cable between PS and MB is disconnected (backlight turns on too, so that's not the problem).
    When MB connected this goes bad: E_PWM (5V) goes to 1.77V, 5V_DET goes to 0 and INV_ON (3.3V) goes to 0. Other voltages (5.1V, 13V, PS) are ok in both ways (with cable connected or disconnected). Tried disconnecting t-con to isolate it but it didn't change anything so i assume problem is somwhere on MB.
    Checked voltage regulators:
    IC 2001 (1117-33): 0 3.3 5.23
    IC 2004 (1117): 0.62 1.87 3.28
    IC 2005 (78M09A): 12.9 0 8.87
    IC 5003 (1117): 3.72 4.96 8.85
    They appear ok?

    Resistance on 5V_DET to GND is 0.88kohm, but without schematic hard to check it is it right

    MB code is BN41-01165A or BN94-03132P, but unfortunately couldnt find schematic for it...

    Could it be that BGA CPU is causing this voltages to go that bad?


    On pictures cables are loose, i just put them to take pictures, measurements are taken with properly seated cables

    Not heard this one before - are you jump starting it with resistors when the main board is disconnected?

    Sounds like a short on the main but could be the Main Chip sending garbled signals.
    The Voltage regulators do seem good which board are they on? main?

    I dont suppose the cable between the boards can be plugged upside down?

    Test the cable for shorts between the pins and for end to end conductivety?

      Thanks for replying

      No, i am not jump starting anything, i think that when you disconnect mainboard from the PS the backlight should come on, as it does.
      Cable can't be plugged upside down, and tested it for continuity and shorts and everything is at it should be.
      Those voltage regulators are on the mainboard.

        I thought it was usual that apart from the 5v standby there would be no other
        voltages until the main board sent a signal to power up the power supply fully
        via PSON and to turn on the back lights via BLON . This cant happen without the main being connected?
        Anyway if its not like that then its not, so all I can suggest is try it with the button board and audio disconnected. then try it with the lvds disconnected
        see if the tcon is pulling it down.

          Well i really can't say that is the way it should be without main connected, but IRC there are few examples on forum were people disconnected main and backlight came on
          Tried allready with disconnecting speakers, button board and t-con from mainboard, but same thing is happening, those few voltages gets messed up

            Reflowed CPU and that bringed it back to life, worked almost a day, and then went in previous state again.
            I'll try to reball it, if fail, i'll purchase another mainboard
