Samsung PN59D6500 with No Video/Power
Good afternoon everyone. While away on a business trip my Samsung PN59D6500 decided to die, I took it apart and checked all the boards, and have been unable to find any bad caps or anything else obvious. Here is what I discovered so far:
1) My wife called me when it failed. Basically while it was on it made a loud ferocious fart sound (As she described it) and suddenly turned off.
2) Pressing the power button physically or via the remote does zip, the power led does a quick flash but there is no video and the TV doesn't go through its normal power on sequence.
3) When the TV is power cycled, the power LED will flash 6 times then return to the mode I described above.
4) The LED diag on the logic board is blinking everything 6 seconds instead of the normal 1 second.
Tom's excellent fast track has helped greatly, and another video on Youtube helped me “possibly” track down the issue to either Y Buffer, Y Main, X Main, or X Buffer based on how the LED is flashing on the logic board but I don't have a multi-meter on-hand and can't do any proper troubleshooting. What are everyone's thoughts on this issue? Should I go ahead replace the boards I mentioned above or is the issue possibly with Logic and Main? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
