    I think so too, I think it's DOA. I sent the seller an email last night and he already shipped another one out so we shall find out soon.
    Yeah when they offer to send the new one that fast it makes you wonder.

      Well, I got the replacement T-CON in today and the tv boots up with a glowing screen but no picture. I can hear sound ok via HDMI but only on one input (since I can't change the source). When I press the source button, the source doesn't change. I cannot get a menu to appear.

        So I tried the one ribbon cable at a time, first the right hand side of the screen and it turns half black/half white like it's supposed to be then after a few seconds the screen turns completely white and then the half black half white switches sides. With the other ribbon unplugged it stays half white/half black constantly.

        I pulled out the power supply and tested that 10v 2200uF cap that seems to always go out on this model and in circuit it showed good ESR but it had blank capacitance on the ESR micro. Not sure what that means, so I removed it and soldered in a new Nichicon cap and same thing tested in circuit.

        I tested the voltages going from the CMN804 connector and on the line that says 24 DET i am only showing 5v. On the mainboard i see an IC1010 which I think is an adjustable regulator? (1117) has 0 on uppermost pin, 1.25V on the tab and 2.7v on output?

          Anyway, I figured that since there was no response from the volume or source buttons, the main board is probably bad. I ordered a main board off Ebay part# BN96-07892H which is a substitute part number. Plugged TV in and I heard the chime and the screen came on with snow, finally! I put the original T-CON back in that came with the TV, and it works fine.

          It must have been the main board all along.

          I tested that first T-CON they sent me that showed an all white screen and it showed an image but like it was faded and all white. (Last picture). So it looks like we made the correct assumption that it was faulty.

          Thanks for your help!

                Help troubleshooting an audio problem with an RCA SGT-250 CED Player
                by samson7point1@yahoo.com
                The Problem: This player has a toggle switch to select between Stereo, Mono R, and Mono L. Regardless of the setting it outputs the sound to both the L&R audio jacks. In the Mono R position, the audio output level is normal (from both the L and R audio output jacks), in the Stereo position the audio output is about half the volume, and in Mono L, it's about 3/4 the volume. Something about putting it into Stereo mode is causing the volume to drop significantly and I can't figure it out.

                The player processes the audio signal using two different reference frequencies. The "R"...

                Samsung UN55MU6103F video problem; has colored stripes on the display
                by alro7779
                Hello, everyone!

                A co-worker gave me a 55-inch Samsung TV model UN55MU6103F so I can try to fix the following problem... As soon as I plug it in to the wall, the TV turns on, and the display shows a few stripes all over the screen. I took off the back cover and disconnected both ribbon cables that go to the display (one at a time) so by doing that I can narrow down the bad section of the problem, but in both cases the display turns black. I know there are some voltages that I have to check (VGH, VGL, etc.) but don't know what reading each has to show. If anyone could guide me on this,...

                Mi TV 4 Pro-Samsung Panel LSC550FN20 - Video problem, backlight and Audio works fine.
                by SolarFlare
                Hi,

                My barely 3 year old TV has stopped displaying video, although the video output comes for a few seconds after turning ON which displays the manufacturers logo then shows the home screen (all this with some blue flicker) then the video goes blank and the screen is dark blue with the backlight on. The audio output works perfectly and the TV also takes in voice commands(smart TV).

                The TCON board has the following Chips -
                Samsung VTU63A0
                RT6939 - 2nos.

                and all these chips are getting real hot within a minute, I dont know if this is normal....

                Samsung QN82Q70RA powers on then powers off
                by nosaj
                I have a samsung QN82Q70RA powers on then powers off. Using some info on the interwebs. I disconnected main board from power supply and backlight shows blue and stays on indicating power supply is good. So next I unplugged one on the lvds cables that connects to screen( I think other side goes to tcon board?) i can get a blue screen and if I press the picture button on the remote i get rain sounds and birds chirping. A lot of videos suggest using kaptan tape to cover the clock signals, but I've been unsucessful there.
                So I thought I'd just quit messing around and come to the best site...

                Samsung UN32M4500 has audio but no video
                by frannyjunk
                Hi, I have a Samsung UN32M4500 that turns on, has audio but no video. No Samsung splash screen when turning on, but I can see the backlights (screen is just this dark gray color). The TV only has one board, which I replaced from one I purchased from directtvparts on eBay. But still the problem persists. Is my LCD bad?
