    Samsung sound no picture

    I'm having an issue with my Samsung UN46D6300SF. The backlight will go out periodically. I still have sound and if I shine a bright flashlight on the screen, I still have a picture but no backlight. The problem comes and goes. I've checked all the capacitor caps for bulges and they all look good. Even got a magnifying glass to get a better look at the bottom of them (had one blow out the bottom on a computer monitor before).
    I know with the CCFL backlit sets, that if 1 lamp goes, the psb cuts power to them all. Do the LED backlit sets do the same thing?

      Re: Samsung sound no picture

      When you unplug the mainboard from the power supply and plug in the panel does the LED lights illuminate and stay lit?

          I'll have to wait until the backlight goes out again. Everything is up and running now. Only cuts out sporadically. Could go a couple days without an issue. Could go a few minutes. That's what is so frustrating. Was just wondering if anyone else had a issue like mine and knew what was causing it.

              IF it was out all the time, be easier to track down. But even when it goes out, there's no specific time frame it is out for. Could be a few seconds, could be hours.

                  Sounds like it is heat related - bad solder joint perhaps.

                      If one of the LED string goes open circuit, the protection circuit will kick in and stop the LED driver circuit. It will hard to troubleshot since it is very intermittent like that.
                      You can check the BL_ON pin to see if it goes away when the backlights are off to give us a clue on what happens.

                          Ok, So the backlight finally go out again after working for several days. I took the screen out to see the backlights. It looks as though there is only 1 string of leds along the top of the frame with a plug at each end. I turned on the tv and got sound so I knew the set should be on and working, but part of the led string dimly blinked. About 1/3 of the string on the left side did nothing. I tried to unplug the left plug and the set did nothing. Power light blinked but the set wouldn't power up. Tried the right side plug, same thing. I had both sides plugged up, and still 2/3 of the leds dimly blinked. I tried to see which led was the last in the string that wasn't working at all, but they all poped on and I get blinded by the entire string shining brightly. Never had time to check voltages when the string was out, see exactly how many of the leds were not blinking, ...nothing. It's up and working fine. Thinking about just replacing the led string and keeping my fingers crossed. But where the heck do you buy them?

                              Ya good luck with that. Shopjimmy was starting to harvest them due to their failure rates but still very hit and miss.

                              Use a meter in diode mode across each led and see if any are problematic.

                                  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...

                                  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                                  ...

                                  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...

                                  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...

                                  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...
