    LT-42EM59 sound no picture no flickering blue light

    As stated on the title it kicks on then no screen or backlight but has sound. Can't find a service manual on it also.. thinking it's either the t-con or signal board. Thanks for the help

        if u dont have backlight, then its more than a tcon problem, if its even a tcon problem at all. can you see the picture when u shine a bright light at the screen and look closely?

            hmm usually when i get sound and no backlight, i can see some picture when i shine a bright light at the screen and look very closely. its possible both your backlight and your tcon have gone out at the same time, though seems unlikely. check voltages at all connectors in on and off mode and write them down. check that fuses are good, regular and surfacemount on the motherboard, inverter, and tcon also check the voltages at both ends of each fuse while the tv is on and write them down. wish i knew more, but u gotta start with the basics!

              Re: LT-42EM59 sound no picture no flickering blue light







              There's some images.. finally found a service manual and some weird stuff after browsing through it. for one if i put my black prong for my multimeter anywhere on the chassis which i'm sure should be the ground it starts reading voltage without the red prong being touched anywhere. I used another torn apart tv's chassis for the ground and got the voltages from that. The fuse is 100~101v when the tv is off. when it clicks on it's goes down to anywhere 30~40v. The biggest thing is i tested the pins that goes to the master and slave inverters and from what my service manual says pins 1-5 on both of them should be 24v *is reading 17~18* and 5-10 should be gnd *also reading 17~18 for some reason.. The person who is having me look at the thing says that it played sound when the screen went out *havn't tested inputs to figure out if that's true* but i wonder if the power board is borked and that's why everything isn't powering on right Screen/inverters for backlight and yes i can't see anything on screen at all too to answer previous question.

                well u should never take the clients word for anything. you should verify if you can get sound, i use a n64 for my sound tests because it turns on and just starts playing the music of the game right away. plug a known source of sound and video into one of the inputs, turn on the tv and try to cycle the inputs and turn up the volume until you hear sound coming out.

                  gonna try *lol good thing to try too haha* also. looking at the manual again.. there is a live and isolated ground... maybe thats why the chassis ground isn't working how i expected? never dealt with that before.. -_-

                    yea me neither...not sure what that means. maybe wait for someone with more knowledge to chime in...
                    are u saying theres 2 separate grounds? one live and one isolated? whatever that means?

                      well the power board has a isolated *neutral side* and a live ground side. that's what i'm understanding from it

                            Any one worked on this TV before? Re-seat the cable between the power supply board and the inverter boards, make sure all the board mounting screws are tight then take the reading on the 24V pins again using black probe on the chassis.
                            Are these the inveretr boards?

                            BTW, when making DC Voltage measurement in the primary (HOT, DEADLY SIDE) you will use the negative leg of the main filter cap as the circuit ground ref. point for your meter. The chassis can be used as the ground ref. point when making Voltage measurement in the secondary (cold side) of the circuits.

                                    Yeah that's them. I've tried to reseat the cables on them and tried again. same thing but give me a little bit and i'll go try again and this time test the sound

                                          Hello all ~

                                          I’m working on this Samsung 60” LED and purchased a new main board a couple of days ago that did not fix the 5 blink issue. The original main board’s HDMI ports (all 4 of them) failed to work and no amount of reflow remedied that.

                                          This 5 red light blink code on the front panel LED is followed (about 15-20 seconds afterward) by an automatic reboot, and results in 5 more red light blinks. Then the entire cycle repeats itself indefinitely.

                                          No picture. No sound.

                                          I tested all the voltages coming out of the power supply...

                                          Hi, I'm new here and looking for some advice on how to diagnose an issue i have with 2 samsung TVs.

                                          I have a UE32J5500AK and a UE48H6400AK both with the same issue of red light but nothing happening on the screen, the red light responds to remote or button press by flashing once but stays red. I have searched forums but most turn up a blinking red light.

                                          I have tried replaceing the power board on the UE32J5500AK last year but this resulted in the same outcome.
                                          The UE48H6400AK recently developed some small bright areas on the screen, then last week would not power...

                                          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...

                                          Monitor Audio RSW12 - Green light, but no sound
                                          by MOSSEP
                                          Hi

                                          Im hoping someone might be able to give me some idea of what may be wrong with my Monitor Audio RSW12 Sub.

                                          Ive owned it since new in around 2002, so would really like to keep it running if I can, it was the first ‘decent' bit of audio equipment I ever purchased and is a little sentimental.

                                          The issue I had was that it would power up with the red light, but sometimes the green light would not come on and I would get no bass from it. If the green light did come on though, I would get sound out of it.

                                          I have already tried replacing all of the...

                                          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
