Hey,
I am new to this depth of tinkering with electronics, so I was wondering if anyone had similar problems before I dive head first.
I have a Samsung un46c8000xfxza with some problems. The HDMI ports do not work. When I connect my computer, my computer knows that something is connected and I can even move my mouse over to the TV. But the TV says that there is no signal. I have tried this with other computers. Sometimes I can get a signal across but if the signal is refreshed, it loses it.
When I connect it to the TV cable, it picks up channels. But if I leave it on a channel for about 30 seconds, the TV is stuck at the channel. It may say the channel has changed, but it shows the same thing on every channel. I need to turn the TV off for a while to reset the channel. It comes up fuzzy if I turn the TV on too soon.
I have upgraded the firmware and this did nothing. I also called Samsung support and they say I need a new board. I am not looking to spend $300 on the board when I can get a new TV for that. I looked at Samsung forums, and other people had the same problem. They were under warranty so they said Samsung replaced their board. The board model number is BN9402696F or BN9402696A, both work. I took the TV apart but did not see any lose connections.
I am going to take a more closer look at the board and test the components. I was wondering if anyone had similar problems or had any insight.
Thanks!
