    Question about samsung test patterns.

    Ok, I cannot get a definite answer as to what each pattern means and what use it has to reflect what part of the panel has failed.

    For example I have a LN55A750 that has severe reds in the black/dark areas of the video feed/idle screen.

    When I run test pattern DDR pre/post the picture is perfect no reds in the blacks ect. This panel only has those 2 test patterns.

    Others I have worked on have

    LOGIC
    FBE
    FRCS
    READ
    LDAsic


    Does anyone here know for sure what each test is for? Or have a link to a manual that has these tests and what each one is for and an explanation of what each test is for and what each test does at a Componate level for success and failure.

    Thanks!

    Re: Question about samsung test patterns.

    DDR before - data before tcon FRC (frame rate converter, 120Hz etc)
    DDR after - data after tcon FRC

    It's probably a main board fault. Do you have a picture?

      @Tom66

      This is the only photo I have. As you can see the black bars got a red hue to them.

      Funny part is when I smacked the back of the panel the issue disappeared, came back for awhile and I did it again and now its been working fine.

      Makes me wonder if there is a dirty connection or a ribbon cable snap lock that is warped/broken due to heat. Panel has 12,000 hours on it.

      The DDR tests were ran while the Panel was in its "Red HUE" state, clear as day when DDR/Post/Pre were ran.

      This Panel is a beast, and a early adaptation of FRC and has a huge metal shield covering all the boards behind the piano black plastic rear cover. Not looking forward to breaking this one down!

      (Not sure why the photo is turned, its not that way when viewing it outside of the site)

        Is the LVDS cable OK? I've had failures caused by that cable that look similar.

          I will know more once I crack it open. I was using this panel as an example as to what may look like a bad panel might not be and run these test patterns to determain the hardware fault.

          I will make a new thread on this one later.

          But the LVDS will be the first thing I check! Thanks Tom66!

            Samsung LN40C630K1F LCD TV No Backlights and Flashlight Test Fail
            by signal.quest
            Hi all,

            I have been working on a Samsung LN40C630K1F LCD TV. On power up the backlights only briefly light up when first powered on then they go out (2 seconds to black). The flashlight test also fails. The sound works fine. Please see attached pics.

            I have researched the forums a lot. I have watched the videos of trying to locate the bad CCFL or transformer and bypassing. I can't find any evidence of a bad transformer/CCFL. I verified I get 376V from the big caps to the fuse. I have used a small/cheap oscilloscope and it looks like the MOSFETs on the inverter...
