    LN40A550P3F - help resurrect?

    I was given this Samsung LN40A550P3F tv. I was told it had multiple problems before it "died". Sometimes not responding to power. Getting vertical colored lines in picture. Sound going in and out. I opened it up and could see visible scorch marks on IC1203 on main board BN41-00975B. I haven't been able to locate the schematics yet for the power supply or main board. I disconnected the boards and connected the power and the power supply has a high pitched whine coming from it, so I disconnected it. It is model BN44-00197A. budm helped me resurrect another tv in this series which my daughter really appreciates! Following on that advice I have already replaced c102 on the main board.

    I wasn't sure where to start with the power supply...is it ok to keep plugged in with that whine and still take readings? Can someone guide me on troubleshooting the power supply and identifying what parts needs replacing on the main board? As I previously stated I already replaced c102 on the main board. I've seen this link from shopjimmy, but can I purchase the components separately and for less? I've uploaded pictures of the two boards. I'm ready and willing to take my time testing and learning; provide additional photos/information as needed; and solder anything necessary. Thank you so much!

    Looks like D204 is scorched on the main board as well. I located the parts list and perusing now.

        That would totally explain the audio issues. I found it for $7.00 on ebay. Anywhere to find it cheaper? Now trying to identify D204 and IC101.

        But then there's still the problem of the power supply. Any suggestions on testing it? My concern was the high pitched whine coming from it when it was plugged in.

            Sorry folks been away for a while as my spouse had brain surgery. Consider this one closed as I finally got around to removing the IC and one of the inductors and I don't want to go as far as repairing the pads. They were scorched in three spots on the IC and came out. Same thing with the inductor. So I'm just going to sell the board as is for someone else who is well versed in repairing down to that level.

                  Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                  by cheeky2
                  I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                  Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...

                  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...

                  Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                  by Asraf Atb
                  Hi everyone,

                  Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                  Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                  I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....

                  Compatibility of main boards between different variations of samsung MU6100
                  by JSin21
                  Hoping someone here could possibly help. I have a few questions in regards to compatibility with main boards. But I'll give a quick short run down on what's going on first;

                  I have Samsung Smart TV UA65MU6100WXXY version DA01

                  Now years ago it started intermittently playing up after a lighting strike. Lighting hit the block of units i was living in at the time. Ever since that night the TV started having a mind of its own, It would randomly turn itself off or on, and all inputs stopped responding like HDMI, aerial, but USB still worked. Anyway, over the next few months...

                  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"...
