Samsung PS51E530 diagnosis

[Chrisdude]

Hello all. I hope someone can direct me in the right way forward.

I bought this 51" TV as seen for 20gbp. I replaced the mainboard for 18gbp and now I get power.

On this model, which I think is 2013 I get a blink code of 10 on the red led. Now to be honest I have no problem replacing all boards because, let's face it, I could not buy a 51" full hd for less than 300gbp so this is worth pursuing, however, I thought mentioning to you guys might help me out.

On some Panasonic models 10 led blinks means the A board is faulty, this may be true, the Ysus and Xsus look ok, but, yes I'll admit it, I have no idea how to use a meter. I just fix blown caps when I see them.
So I was wondering if the red LED blinks 10 times on this model it would mean something to someone? The exact model is PS51E530A3W.

All the best guys.

Chris.

Samsungs dont issue Led fault codes. Need pictures and a proper explanation of the fault mate.

OK, sure thing. So the TV RED LED comes on, then flashes 10 times and pauses. On initial powerup the TCON LVDS BOARD displays it's green LED, flashes on for about 3 seconds then goes off, when I cycle the TV the red LED just flashes 10 times and then pauses. As I say the PSU has been replaced, The screen stays black.

Ok, does your meter have a diode mode on it if so do you know how to check for S/C aka short circuit ?

Common issue on these is a shorted Y or X main.
