    Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture

    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 mainboard, it does not reboot and I do have 25V VGH. With the cable connected the VGH drops to 0V. But with the lcd panel connected, it keeps rebooting, even without the ribbon cable (without the jumper it does boot without the ribbon cable)

    Does anyone have any ideas? Is there something else I can test? I know this tv is known for its bad panels, but when I tape off all the clock-signals, it still reboots with no picture. I would like to know what is wrong with it, and why only taping off pin1 (the innermost pin) is the only pin that keeps it from rebooting. The signal on pin1 could be FB_2 (I found this somewhere else on this forum). But what is FB_2? I am ok with writing this tv off, but I would like to learn more, what exactly is the problem?​

        Thanks handsworth! I haven't tried specific that combination, but one of my tries covered more and even then it won't boot. Here are some photos what I tried already. I also tried covering just pin1 (=innermost pin, not on photos), and that is the only way to get it booting, but no picture.

          Sometimes tape doesn't work and really can't do anything about it. Could be damaged to screen you haven't seen

            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

            Samsung UE60KU6079 backlight okay mainboard responsive, no picture, no sound
            by Ierwin
            Hello everyone,
            Ive got a UE60KU6079 on the workbench that is giving me some headaches trying to troubleshoot.
            The previous owner stated that there had been white dots on the screen which from the description sounded like some lenses fell of the backlight LEDs.
            He had opened the TV from the back, trying to get to the backlight, supposedly gave up, reassebled everything and gave the TV to me.
            I expected the worst like ripped COF cables or a cracked panel but could not find anything like that yet.
            Anyway I still fully expect that there has been something seriously damaged...

            Samsung UN70NU6900F no picture and no sound
            by jchang
            Hi all

            I was just given a Samsung TV with the issue. I read various threads and videos and attempted the ribbon tape method to gain an image, but no luck.



            Symptom:
            No picture no sound.
            When I plug in the power cord, Backlight LED turns on for a half second and then turns off. The red LED next to the power button located center bottom flashes 2 or 3 times. When the power button is pressed after, it does the same thing.
            No sound at all.



            What I tried:
            1. I tried unplugging the left or right ribbon...

            Hi,

            I got Samsung 55 inch QLED QE55Q67RAT where there is no sound at all and when using youtube for example picture is not clear and noisy.
            I have swapped Burr-brown 88002A chip on the mainboard but didn't help, different set of speakers didn't help either

            Mainboard is based on pcb BN41-02695A BN94-14007B

            I will appreciate any help

            Many thanks

            Samsung un55cu7000d with backlight and sound No Video / Picture
            by gl4709
            I am working on a Samsung un55cu7000d which has backlights and audio. There is no picture. This model does NOT have a separate TCON board. Before I order a main board I would like to try and confirm that the issue is not in the display. The ribbon cable from the main board goes directly to the display and I can then disconnect the left from the right. When I disconnect the right side the display lights up on one side but has no video being displayed. Can you all give me some guidance on how to confirm the main board is the issue.
