Dear friends, GOOD DAY.
This is virtually my 1st post in this forum and i am happy to write here with you all.
Here is the problem i am facing:
A colleague of mine brought to me a Samsung TV model: LE40A536T1FXXH (from now on called "my tv")
this tv when turned on would display weird colours for example black background was displayed purple. At first and after reading posts on the internet and in this forum i thought that it would be a Tcon board problem (as15-f) so i ordered one on-line from china. In the meanwhile i came across a similar model tv with the same Tcon board. I thought i should swap cards to see what happes. Both cards didnt work on my tv (same display problem) but worked on the other tv. Bad luck huh ? then i thought that there must be something else wrong with my tv's main board. At that time i had the "brilliant" idea to mess with the service menu so with tv on standby i pressed Info + Menu + Mute + Power on the remote and service menu came up. I started messing with the MODEL and stored in memmory a different code that the original thinking that if that doesnt work i could go back and reset it.
Now my tv when powered only displays vertical lines and i can no longer acces the service menu. To make matters worse i dont remember neither the factory setting nor the setting i saved.
On-line i found theese service menu codes
1) Mute + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power
2) Display/Info + Menu + Mute + Power (THE ONE USED TO WORK)
3) Display/Info + P.STD + Mute + Power
4) P.STD + Help + Sleep + Power
5) P.STD + Menu + Sleep + Power
6) Sleep + P.STD + Mute + Power
Number 1, 2 dont work and for 3,4,5,6 buttons p.std, help and sleep are not present on my remote control.
Bottom line is that i am freaked out and if o dont come up with a way to fix or restore the tv i may have to pay for a new mainboard myself due to my stupidity...
That is what happens when you play it smart and mess with things you dont know.
Thank you !
