    Samsung UE40C6620 LED LCD Discolouration

    Hi all,

    Having an issue with a Samsung UE40C6620. Unit was purchased new in 2010. It's a 40" LED LCD model, UK spec.

    A few months ago an intermittent fault appeared. The defect is hard to describe, but is shown in the attached images. When the fault appears, a quarter of the screen is discoloured with waves of blue pixels.

    The issue affects all inputs. It is intermittent, so for extended periods over the last few months it has gone away and the image has been perfect.

    It appears to be an issue with the blue channel in that section of the screen; when I pull up RGB test videos, there is no issue showing a full red or green screen.

    Have opened up the back, and tried removing and cleaning the connectors on the LVDS (?) cable from the main board to the T-Con (I hope I'm using the right terminology!) to no avail.

    I can see there are more ribbon connectors below the T-Con, but these are taped down and difficult to reach.

    Any thoughts on what might be the problem here?

    Hi res images of the issue and electrical boards attached.

    Thanks in advance.

      Any thoughts on this?

      Have done a fair bit of searching and can't find any comparable cases on this forum or elsewhere.

          Try gently pressing on these connections (try the corners as well)with a screwdriver but the handle end
          i have had this issue before with a UE samsung where the BGA solder went bad or even try gently warming it up with a hair dryer
          just an idea !

                  Thanks for the pointer, but no luck.

                  What puzzles me about this (as opposed to other cases I've seen, like the one you linked) is that it is affects exactly a quarter of the display; the other three quarters are perfect.

                  Could this be symptomatic of a T-Con issue, or do you think the panel toast?

                      Samsung Series 9 - BIOS issue
                      by Kjell
                      After installing Linux, I can no longer enter the BIOS of my Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) laptop. When pressing [F2] during boot I simply get a black screen. Same thing when pressing [F10] and choosing "Setup" from the "App Menu" tab. Apparently this is a relatively common issue with Samsung laptops of that generation, but unfortunately i haven't been able to resolve the issue (yet).

                      Things i've tried so far; reinstalled Windows 10, checked for redundant boot entries, tried to factory reset using the emergency keyhole, attempted to clear the NVRAM by physically...

                      Samsung DM32D – Red LED blinks 5 times, won’t start (possible mainboard issue)
                      by Nairolf
                      Hello,

                      I have a Samsung DM32D display.
                      When I try to power it on, the red LED blinks 5 times and nothing happens—the unit won’t start.

                      Here’s what I have tried so far:
                      1. Disconnected the cable between the mainboard and the power supply → the backlight turns on.
                      2. Disconnected the main T-CON ribbon cable → same issue as before, the LED still blinks 5 times.
                      3. Disconnected one of the two T-CON ribbons to the panel (tested each one separately) → same issue, the LED blinks 5 times.

                      From these tests, I suspect the problem might be on the mainboard. Could anyone...

                      Samsung SyncMaster 740n Phase Control Issue
                      by vincentedel
                      Hello,
                      I'm having an issue with the Samsung 740n's phase control setting. When I use the automatic adjustment, it sets the value to around 54 (with a range of 0-100), and the picture looks clear and sharp. However, after some time—like after playing a game—the text starts to look blurry. When I auto-adjust again, it may increase the value to 80, and everything becomes sharp once more. Yet, after a while, whether it's a few hours or a day later, the same blurriness returns, and I have to adjust it again.

                      I'm using the Samsung 740n monitor drivers instead of the default plug-and-play...
