    Maxent mx-42xm11 repair

    Hey everybody

    I have an old Maxent mx-42xm11 that I'd like to repair and was wondering if anyone could help me diagnose the problems.

    The first problem is the TV takes about 10 minutes to warm up. About 7 minutes after being turned on, it starts to flash the picture. Once it's warmed up it works normally.

    The other problem is there are red, green and blue dots that are constantly flashing on the screen. These are on the picture even once it's warmed up. I'll attach a picture so y'all can see what I'm talking about.

    If anyone knows what might be causing these issues I'd be very thankful for the help.

    Probably best to open it up and post some pictures of the boards. The issue could very well be bad caps by the symptoms you described.

      a heat gun may also be useful to pinpoint areas causing issues if nothing obvious is seen

        Bad solder joint also comes to mind.

          I am very Interested in the out come of this issue as i have the exact same model
          Mine after the same amount of time flashing from not on at first to the screen the original poster posted (coloured scrambled) then to solid blue as it is supposed to do. So i played a film on it and as it was playing sometimes it would flicker for like 2 seconds every so often but worked in general i am leaning toward the power supply or the main board but im not sure on anything at this point i see no bad caps or anything burnt was thinking about using the heat method but since it works after letting it blink off and on for approx 7-10 mins (warming up) and then work not sure heat would be the thing to use

          This thing weighs a ton it is very heavy to work with please keep that in mind

            T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
            by Tr0ll
            Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

            The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

            Original T-con:
            Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

            First replacement T-con:

            I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

            SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
            by JJAAMM
            This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

            Problem
            TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

            Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
            by TR103
            Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
            - sound and backlight, but no picture
            - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
            - it keeps rebooting
            - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
            - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

            - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

            Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
            by Mgiffune
            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
