    Samsung F7000 occasionally cycles and fails to switch on

    I have a UE40F7000 Samsung which occasionally fails to properly come out of standby. The relay clicks and the backlight flashes but then goes off again with a click, and repeats. I think its temperature related as leaving it overnight seems to allow it to switch on OK.

    I assume its PSU related and had a look - it's a BN44-00632B. No signs of swollen caps or hot components.

    I saw a great YouTube video on a possible PFC related issues and an underrated resistor https://youtu.be/DREofE4WIvg?feature=shared though a quick trace from the SPC7011F pin 7 lead me to a resistor and it measured ~10R as expected.

    Any ideas where I need to focus my efforts? Thanks

    Does anyone have a diagram for a BN44-00632 - I have one for the similar 0622b but its not identical.

    So after a little more poking around with all connectors disconnected I can see a steady 390vdc across the large electrolytic which seem healthy.

    A5V is steady at 5.3vdc.
    B5V is pulsing in time with the relay
    13V is pulsing in time with the relay

    Ive had a good look around for dry joints and reflowed some which look suspicious but no better.

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

      Check the recent thread of sordids666, the es8000 series, these series suffers of common faults..

        Thanks - that seems like a different issue and this one pulses without anything connected.

        I’ve replaced all the electrolytics and or tested them out of circuit with an ESR meter and they’re OK.

        Where do I go next - what the likely culprit for the PSU failing to start and stabilise?

          Unplug cable from mainboard to powerboard at powerboard and recheck those voltages.

            I have read on certain models same year and also 40" about a problem unfortunately of some turns shorted in main rails transformer, in another case was a problem with relay, this last is easy to check..

              Thanks for the replies folks. Further investigation has led me to both of the backlight driver IC's raising the FLT indication pin - this in turn is causing the relay to be opened. I can't see any issues with the Current sense and Over Voltage readings (based on little facts other than this doc).

              Will keep digging....

                The fault pin can't open directly the relay! Check better..

                  Correct, it drives the relay via a ERR_FLAG circuit which overrides the PWR_ON control thyristor.

                  The question is, why is FLT pin raised?

                  see this manual which is as close as I can get https://elektrotanya.com/samsung_bn4.../download.html

                    i saw psb photo, there's no err_flag, others mistery signals , but unplug MB from PSB and see if backlight stays on flawlessly, plus control the MB connetor output (A/B 5v, 13v) and lamps outputs (as the table printed on board)..

                      Micro Momentary Push Switch?
                      by Natob82
                      Great to be here! I'm a newbie here trying to find a "micro", momentary push switch to repair a Sony "clamshell" video walkman. This micro switch has long since discontinued by Sony, however I hope there are third-party switches of the same size and functionality that I might be able to source to play the same role. The purpose of this switch is to tell the video walkman that the user has activated the mechanical tape eject button, turning that physical action into an electronic signal that tells the tape transport mechanism to open so one can load or eject a video tape. I...

                      NEC TurboExpress On/Off Power Switch Replacement Help
                      by grimacelord
                      Hello,

                      I've been working on a NEC TurboExpress and I accidentally got the plastic inside the power ON/OFF switch too hot while doing other repairs and melted it. At first, it would still power on when sliding the switch, but you had to really press inward while sliding to get it to work.

                      I removed the switch component and tried to gently melt the plastic back so it would work more reliably and all I managed to do was make it worse.

                      I need to find a replacement On/OFF switch for this, but having some trouble figuring out which kind of switch I need....

                      Help making a switch work the opposite way with a relay
                      by SluggerB
                      I have a very small float switch, I'm using in a very small tank. It only fits in one way. Link https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Switch.../dp/B07DZ1J2GB

                      I want the switch to be open when the water is high, and closed when the water is low. Unfortunately it works the opposite. And since this switch is designed to be underwater, it's all sealed up, there is no taking it apart or hacking it up.

                      It will be driving a water pump, basic idea, when the water is low, switch closes, which turns on water pump, when enough water is in the tank, float switch floats,...
