Hello, since yesterday our Samsung UE46F6400AWXXC no longer powers on, with the standby LED off. It turned off when someone attempted to clean it, not sure if related. A few days ago, there was a similar issue, but it was solved after unplugging and replugging the power. Additionally, another user of this TV reported issues of the screen turning off randomly, which were solved changing the channel.
I originally suspected the PSU, but if the mainboard is unplugged the PSU relay closes and the backlight turns on. It's only when the mainboard is connected that the relay doesn't close (no voltage on coil). Checking voltages, they seem to be normal with mainboard unplugged, but if it's plugged the only rail that works is the standby A5.3V, and for some reason the bridge rectifier output falls to about 4V. I checked for shorts in the mainboard's power connector, but I found none. I also tried unplugging the Tcon and the other boards to no avail.
Is this a mainboard issue or something else? I've seen similar models having firmware issues, but given the other symptoms, I fear it might be a panel issue.
I have attached pictures of the boards and the pinout for the mainboard power connector. Thank you in advance.
