    Samsung LA40A550P1FXXY Backlight Working but no Picture

    This one was working fine after a PS capacitor fix until now, it is booting up OK but no picture on screen. Sound is good and so is the backlight. Where should I be looking next?

    Oh and I know the pictures show the TCon unplugged but this is not the fault

    I'm betting T-con. I actually just replaced that exact T-con in a similar 40" Samsung with the same issue. Turned on, had sound, inputs and backlight worked, but no picture whatsoever.

    (Oh, and this was the 2nd of these that I've done with the same problem on that T-con)

      Get your DMM out and check the fuse on Tcon board, see if it shows open.

        Wow talk about a long time between drinks. I ordered a new Tcon and replaced it, Same result. I tested the fuse on both old and new Tcons and found them both open. I dont know if the one on the new board was good before i installed it though.

        How hard is it to find and fit a replacement fuse?

          It can be that you have shorted components on the panel that cause the new T-CON board to low the fuse.

            I wouldn't be surprised if you received a faulty t-con for the replacement either. I've had plenty myself.

              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 LCD TV no picture backlight on no 12v at tcon
              by shelby5041
              hi
              i have a samsung lcd tv

              it powers on with sound and backlight but no picture

              all voltages from PS are good 12v 3.3v and 5v

              whats odd is that at the tcon i tested voltage across the fuse on the tcon and i get 0v

              i figured main board issue..so i ordered a used main board....when i put replacement main board in i still have same issue

              no 12v at the tcon fuse

              i disconnect the panel ribbon cables to rule out any panel issues and i still have no 12v at the tcon fuse

              the odds of having 2...

              Samsung UN55H8000AF - No Picture, Working Backlight, Replaced T-Con Board
              by ermals
              Hi all!
              I've recently run into an issue with my Samsung UN55H8000AF LED TV displaying no image. I've done quite a bit of research in terms of what could be wrong with it. Below are the steps I've taken prior to reaching out here for some assistance:

              1. I've tried replacing the T-Con board (BN95-01594A), twice and have still experienced the same issue with all the boards I've tested with.
              2. I've tried to remove one side of the ribbon cable that goes from the T-Con board to the panel and still not getting any image on left or right side.
              3. I've checked voltages...

              Samsung UE43NU7122 has Picture, but no Backlight
              by Fenzon
              Greetings fellow DYIers, the moment I discovered this community forum, nostalgia has hit me pretty hard, this early web 2.0 look and feel is close to home. I can't describe my happiness seeing active forums that survived today, and its not just yet another centralized propriety subreddit.

              Before I describe my issue with this particular TV, I would like to let you know that I do have basic electronic competence, and some electronic component knowledge. I also am an electrical installation technician student, although we exclusively study alternating currents and our primary...

              Samsung Odyssey G9 (c49g95tssr) no picture or backlight. Power LED shows
              by grimreaper420
              hey guys,

              i bought 2 samsung odyssey g9's for a decent price. they both have the exact same fault. when plugged into a power source, the blue led powerlight shows, but when turned on there is no picture, no backlight, no menu, nothing. when plugged into a laptop the laptop recognises the monitor, but keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

              dont have any schematics or diagrams unfortunately. any ideas?

              thanks
