Friend of mine has asked me to have a look at this TV, not in my possession yet but thought i'd ask here first.

Grey screen on all inputs, menus don't show either

tcon fault?

Tcon or Main

Tcon or Main

If the set can still change channel and volume would it still be a mainboard issue?

Re: Samsung F5500 Grey Screen and Sound

Could still be yes but more than likely Tcon

LCD, plasma?
The F series plasmas do not have a separate TCON/logic board, it's on the main board though you can still engage test patterns.

Oh yeah! Didn't realise they did both plasma and LED in the F series

it's ue32f5500, so LCD

they missed the first numbers off and I didn't notice

T-CON is my educated guess. Check the fuse on the T-CON for power on both sides. May just be a blown fuse on the T-CON board.
