    Samsung PN50b550t2f distorted picture/video has sound.

    Hi Everyone,

    I recently acquired a Samsung PN50b550t2f (PN50b550t2fXZA). The previous owner informed me that the TV turns ON but it has a bad picture/video it has distorted lines. So I was able to confirm this when I got home and tested the TV. Like he said upon a first initial power introduced to the unit I heard a 2 clicks from the power supply 1 click ... (5 seconds interval) then a 2nd click. Then a Samsung chime then the Screen powered up all I could see is just a bunch of lines or distorted video (or should I cay like a sand?)

    So, I opened the back of the TV.

    Tested the Voltages with he TV turned ON: VS: 209 = 209, Va: 56 = 56, Vsc: -200, Ve:89 = 85 - So I adjusted it to specs 89.

    With the power cord unplugged: I took a note the blinking / flashing light on the T-Con when the power is first introduced to the unit. The LED 2001 Blinks 2 solid green light then stops; Then the LED 2001 flashed a following 1 faint flash then 2 solid flash then stops and I can hear the power supply clicked.

    When the TV is turned On. The standby light flashes about 5 times. On it's first red blink you'd hear the Samsung chime. On it's third blink the screen lights/powers up. But all I get is just a distorted video.

    Unplugging Xmain or Ymain just gives me a blank screen. Same blinks and everything.


    Bad MainBoard?
    Bad Logic / tcon board?
    Bad buffer boards?
    Or worst Bad Panel?
    I don't see any tiny crack on the panel. But I will re examine it again to make sure.
    Will try to post a link of the video of the TV later.

    Any help or suggestion / inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Here's the link of the actual plasma TV I'm working on.

    Short pins 3-4 of Auto-Gen-Test, on Cont Board unplug LVDS from control-board and turn set on.

      Common issue on them mainboards is a failed tantalum capacitor causing weird glitches like you have. Try what Ali said first.

        Thanks for the quick response, when shorting pin 3 and 4 do I have to unplugged the TV first from the power source?

          Unplug it from wall before doing that. Common sense really messing with electronics when on especially a device as sensitive as this isn't a good idea no offence

            Ok I did shorted the pin 3 and 4 on the t con, then unplugged the LVDS between tcon and mainboard. Plugged the tv back and turned it ON. It chimed and the screen just stays black/blank.

              Did you short them in the correct direction ?

                  So I did what Ali as instructed shorted both PIN 3 and 4. To do the Auto-Gen-Test. I also Disconnected the LVDS cable on the control board. Plugged the TV in and turned it On. Screen is still the same andTest wont go further as it cycles ON and OFF. I disconnected the TV from the wall after the third cycle. Here's the video of the result. https://youtu.be/-QgnPao7dpQ
