    TV LA40B550 - P/S BN44-00264A - No backlight

    Gidday folks, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with faults in the inverter section of Samsungs BN44-00264A power supply they'd be willing to share.

    I have a LA40B550 TV that uses a BN44-00264A power supply that refuses to power up the back lights when the main board is plugged in. The main board seems fine and responds to all switch and remote commands, and the power supply with integrated inverter circuit, when by itself, runs the lights just fine. Together they fail.

    All volts on the connector (5v, 5v stby, 13v, pwm) look fine except the DET_5V line which remains low.

    I figure with the DET_5V being pulled low, the processor keeps the inverter on/off line low. The only input to the protect circuit (see image 1 attached) is the out of phase N2 fet driver line and this seems to be set so if there are not enough pulses of enough width, the circuit pulls it low.

    Voltages read in situ

    Main storage caps is 385v
    13v =====+> 12.8v
    DET_5V ===> 0.3v
    5.3v ======> 5.2v
    epwm =====> 1.85v

    ----------------

    Before i start to wire into the board to bring the voltages out to read them (all of this is under the board and cannot be run easily away from the panel), I was wondering if anyone has seen this before?

    I do not suspect the pfc as it's running fine without the main board and the voltages on the main caps is good.
    I do not suspect the over/under voltage protection circuit because it runs fine without the main board.
    I do not suspect the main board, as it's doing what I would expect it to do with that signal.
    I do not suspect the ccfls as they all come on without the mainboard.

    I am sus on all of the bits around ICI803B. I will sit and measure each of them and then try to read the voltages while its running, but before I use a lot of wire wrap, has anyone seen this before and am I barking up the wrong tree?

      Where is the reading for the BL-ON (INV ON/OFF) PIN?

        BTW, what is the DCV between the two legs of the main filter cap?

          Sceptre U550CV-UMR 4K LED, Bad Caps on Main Power Board?
          by Dani_2024
          Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
          I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
          Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

          Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

          LG 55NANO77SRA TV – Menu scrolling by itself even after removing button board (Main Board EBU66792103)
          by ygorsan
          Hi everyone,




          I’m looking for help with a persistent issue on an LG TV model 55NANO77SRA, which uses the main board EBU66792103 (also used in LG UQ80 and NANO75/NANO80 series).







          🧩 Problem Summary:
          • The TV keeps scrolling through the menu or selecting items by itself.
          • I removed the physical button board (the entire panel with power and volume buttons) and also disconnected the flat cable (CN202) from the main board.
          • The remote control is not in use (batteries removed), and the TV still shows the same behavior.
          • I

          Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
          by jb_Bak
          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
          Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
          CN6401
          Pin 01 NC
          Pin 02 NC
          Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
          Pin 04 "N/C"
          Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
          Pin 06 "GND": N/C
          Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

          (SOLVED) - ONN 100012588 No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change
          by JDC
          ONN 100012588
          Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

          Short answer: replace main board and power board
          Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

          Long answer:

          TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....

          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...
