    Samsung Discoloration then Turns off

    I've fixed 4 or 5 tv's now mainly caps, fuses and z-sustain chips but this tv is giving me hell. I don't know enough to troubleshoot this one. When I first got it, when you plugged it in it immediately tried to turn on and then would turn off immediately and repeated indefinitely. The only caps I could find with visible damage were on the vscan board so I replaced. Still won't stay on. So I took all caps out of the power supply board and found two bad thought not visibly damaged. I replaced those and now the tv comes on and shows a picture though it is mainly white with black splotches throughout and stays on for prob 10 secs then goes off. This is where I'm stumped. Obviously this tv had some major issue that are above a hobbyist trying to repair but I don't want to give up. Two issues, the picture looks like crap and it still turns off just not as fast and is giving me a picture at least. Here is what the picture looks like. Any ideas to point me in right direction?

    Model # PN50A550S1F

      I believe this is a symptom of a faulty C102 on the mainboard.
      That little SMD cap gives all types of problems on these Sammy "A" TVs.

          yeah I found people talking about that and haven't replaced that one yet? But could that cause the crappy picture?

              One that I had, did that, when it actually came on.

                  Yeah I had another that didn't like white but I've never seen that bad. I ordered replacements c102 caps from mouser so hopefully I'll finally be done.

                          i'd check the xmain , see if anything shorted or blown fuses. there's a ceramic fuse and also small green pico fuses.

                          no experience with this Tv but I'd be checking x and ymains and buffer boards

                              Ok, I'll look into that thanks. I glanced over them but I'll take them out and do some testing. I've had to replace so many parts just to get this thing going. I'm wondering if it got a lightning strike, seems odd that so much failed at once.

                                  Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                                  by TR103
                                  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...

                                  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                                  ...

                                  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...
