    samsung lnt 4061f LCD wont turn on?

    First off, new to this forum and thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

    I am having trouble with one of my Samusng lnt 4061f LCD tv's. I have two of them, one works perfectly fine and has never had any problems, the other, I got from my brother in law because he said it doesn't work.

    I figure it is worth a shot to see if we can get it working again. He said for awhile that when he would try to turn it on, it would just click for a while but not turn on. Eventually, the TV would turn on but over time it took longer and longer to turn on.

    Now I know your thinking, capacitors on the power supply board as its a known issue with these tvs but heres the catch. He had it serviced by Samsung and the repair guy replaced the entire power supply board with a new one (my guess it was new) but it still wouldn't turn on. My brother in law didn't want to pay to have it repaired further (as this was a warranty or good will repair?) so there it sat.

    So he ended up giving it to me for free. I took the back off and looked around. Everything is plugged in and nothing looks out of the ordinary. The known capacitors that go bad all look fine, no bulges and the board does appear to be fine (by looks of course).

    Another thing I noticed is that the red light that is on the power button doesn't light up when I plug it in. The power supply board does make a single click when you plug it in but it wont turn on, no matter how many times i push the power button. What I also noticed is that the lcd screen appears to be trying to turn on when I plug it in, even if I don't touch the power button.

    What's weird is that it makes a clicking noise when I plug it in like its automatically trying to turn on, my working one does not do that. When I plug the good one in it makes no noise and that red light illuminates on the power button, when I push the button, then it makes that noise and turns on. The bad one makes the clicking noise the second I plug it in and the red light on the power button never turns on.

    Here is the video I made, sorry for thumping noise in the beginning of the video, it was my wife walking up the stairs.

    it sounds like a mainboard firmware corruption issue.

    Order new main board.

      Do you think I should try taking out the main board from my working model and put it in the broke one and see if it fixes it?

      That way I could determine if it is the main board or not and not have to buy the main board, in case that is not the problem?

      Is there any risk to using the main board from my good one? Like, could it get damaged by the bad one and make me have 2 bad TVs instead of one?

      Thanks for the help sir!

          Cool, and there shouldn't be any risk of damaging the good main board if I try putting it in the bad TV?

          If it is the main board, where do I go to get a new one? Ebay? Used ok?

          Thanks

            Shouldn't be any risk,

            Try it with just power supply and the power switch connected, see if it will stay on.
            then put good board in and do the same.

              Ebay should have one. But if not you can always set up a saved search it will look for that board everyday until one pops up.

                So remove the main board in the bad unit and plug it in, the light on the button should be illuminated and the screen should turn on, and stay on?

                Then try putting the known good main board in and see if it fixes the problem?

                  Just have the suspect faulty mainboard, control panel plugged into the power supply and nothing else.
                  if fault shows go ahead with next step.
                  repeat with the good board if we see it stay on it means the original mainboard is faulty

                    Can you tell me what part I am supposed to leave plugged in? Is it just a cable harness?

                    Here is a picture of the main board.

                      so basically you just need the power supply connectors going to the mainboard and the control pannel that switches on the tv plugged in.

                        Is the "control panel" the power button? So I follow the cable that goes from the power supply board to the main board and leave that plugged in. Unplug all other cables except the control panel?

                        I think I got it but I'm still a little confused what the control panel is.

                        Thanks again for the help

                          control pannel power button. this way u can still see if the light is going to go turn on.

                                Re: samsung lnt 4061f LCD wont turn on?

                                I re read the "basic trouble shooting for lcd tvs" on this forum and noticed this.

                                "The power supply has Standby 5vdc (5VSB, this is a MUST have before anything else will work, when this voltage is not present, there will be no indicator light on the front panel)."

                                Now supposedly the power supply board was replaced by the service tech from samsung, so if we assumed that it is working, what else would cause the 5vdc to NOT be present? I'm assuming that it is not present, that is why the front indicator light is not on.

                                Now what I don't get is that the previous statement makes it sound like if this voltage isn't present (thus the light is not illuminated on the front) that nothing else will work. In my case, the second I plug the power cord in, the power supply board makes a clicking noise immediately (without touching the power button) and about 5 seconds later the panel, or possibly the backlight, not sure which it is, turns on and off and stays on somewhat illuminated (as seen in the video). If that above statement is true, shouldn't "nothing else will work" because that 5vdc power appears to be not present, according to the fact the front light on the power button is not illuminated?

                                Hope that wasn't confusing, anyone else got any thoughts? Or should I just try the things that were mentioned already?

                                Thanks

                                  Can we see the whole backside of the TV so we can see how all the boards are connected together? Also the P/N of the power supply board, BN44-??????

                                    Re: samsung lnt 4061f LCD wont turn on?

                                    I figured it out!

                                    Needs a new main board. I took the one out of my other TV that works (same exact model) and put it in the bad one and viola, turns on like it should, picture is fine. Works perfectly.

                                    So now I need a new main board.

                                    My question now is, should i buy a used one off of ebay or buy a new one? I'd like to spend as few dollars as possible as I have a baby on the way and money is tight.

                                    Here are some pictures from the old main board that is bad. What is the exact part# that I need. Some that I found on ebay say they are for a lnt 4061f but I want to make sure I get the correct one.

                                      I found this one on Ebay that says it is for the lnt 4061f, it is used but was tested and is good.

                                      http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-TV-M...item2a4603194e

                                      It lists "Other Board/Part #'s : BN94-01518A, BN41-00937A, BN97-01835F"

                                      Which BN97-01835F matches the sticker on the old board.

                                      I'm assuming this board is the correct board that I need?

                                      Thanks for the feedback and help guys

                                        Yes that mainboard should be fine.

                                          Upgrading a Samsung ue55nu7096u with logic board from an ue55ru7105k -- good idea?
                                          by ohren
                                          I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.

                                          I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.

                                          The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively....

                                          by Tynan Dill
                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          Assuming...

                                          Samsung Power Supply Board BN44-00874F
                                          by Nicktronic
                                          Hey everyone,

                                          This power supply board is hard to find but there are repair kits available. This board had a blown fuse, FP801S, blown PFC MOSFET, QP802CS and ceramic cap, CP809. I replaced them with parts I already had and tested the rest of the parts that would've come in the repair kit and they were fine. I powered the board up on the bench expecting, in typical Samsung power supply board fashion, to see all my output voltages but, nothing. 0 volts on CNL801, CNM801 and CNT801. The only thing I have is 170vdc on the filter caps. No standby voltage either.

                                          Anybody...

                                          Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                                          by Asraf Atb
                                          Hi everyone,

                                          Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                                          Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                                          I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....
