    Samsung UE50RU7170 not booting /no picture

    Dear all,

    My issue is the following:
    Tv suddenly started to make Strange things and went out. After disconnecting power and restarting, it tried to start but failed. After each attempt it got worse and worse. Now only the Stdb light is on and it is not booting.

    I checked the power supply -> Backlight on when disconnected from mainboard, so I guess Power supply is ok.
    Additionally the upper right part of the main-board makes some whistling noise -> probably issue there and therefore issues with booting

    Question 1: Where should I start to Look for the faulty part on the mainboard? BN94-14112H

    As I Could get my hands on a used mainboard from the same model (Both UE50RU7170UXZG but mine is Version No. 02 / URU 7100, while spare Part is from 05/URU7100) I tried a new Mainboard.
    Result: TV booting + Sound from settings, but no picture.
    when comparing the boards I realised they were different Versions (BN94-14112H vs. BN94-15022A)

    Question 2: How to Check whether my issues with the new board are caused by different Version, or by Further issues with my TC Board or Panel?

    I hope somebody can help me.

    Try to move SPI Flash W25Q80V_IC1603 (T-CON firmware) from the original board to the new one.

        Are the positional resistors in the T-CON area installed identically on the motherboards? How can you install a new firmware without an image? Install a jumper and try to connect the LVDS cables one by one and see if an image appears on which side.

              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 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 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 QN75Q6DRA, No Picture, Has BL, and Sound
              by Dodgethis
              Hello all,

              This is my first post, but long term lurker on the form learning as much as possible about these TV's. I was given this TV as due to a power outage of constant On/off of power to TV. The TV originally would just click on and off (Typical Reboot Cycle). I opened the back of the TV, and troubleshooted by taking the 96 pin LVDS off one at a time to see if I had a picture on either side. I finally fixed the reboot cycle by finding the error on the left side of the screen off connector CN 1301, and the TV would stay on. Further troubleshooting led me to the driver boards where...
