    I would say you definitely have a main board problem. As for a replacement alot of places, like ebay, are hit and miss as many broken boards are sold as good.

    I would drop SJ an email with your part number and model of tv and ask them to suggest a replacement. It's also quite likely someone here has already been through this. Maybe they'll drop in here or do a search of your part number and/or tv model if SJ can't help.

        Thanks for your help mmartell.

        Does anyone else have suggestions for where to buy the Main Board (BN94-03313V) other than Shop Jimmy? They are out of stock, also out of stock of the one substitute, and don't know when/if they will be getting more in.

        Here are the options I have identified (I'm not at all excited about eBay):

        1) Order from Samsung. It costs $203 and will take 2-3 weeks. Painful on both fronts.

        2) TV Parts for Sale - 90 day warranty - $89

        3) TV Parts Central - BN94-03313B (the more expensive version for some reason) - 90 day warranty - $118

        4) TV Parts in Stock - 60 day warranty - $55

        Thoughts anyone?? Has anyone had good or bad experiences with any of these vendors or does anyone know any of them by reputation?

            One other question: should I care about the T-Con checksum error? I have it on another Samsung and it does not seem to be creating any issues.

                (Hopefully) the end of the story. Changing the Main Board seems to have fixed the problem. As a caution, I ordered the BN94-03313V, but originally I was sent the BN94-03313Y. The V and the Y are hard to distinguish on the sticker, but the Y is for the PN63c8000 - the 63" version. It was an honest mistake. The picture works using the Y board, but I got no sound. Yesterday, I got and installed the correct board, and the TV seems to work completely fine. It ran all night without a problem.

                Thanks mmartell and others for all of the help. I really appreciate it.

                    Hitachi 55HDS69 55" Plasma TV - No Picture But Sound
                    by KYBOSH
                    Picked up a bahemoth plasma TV not too long ago and just now getting around to looking at it.
                    No picture but you hear the TV static (white noise) playing loud and clear.
                    The back was already taken off (and no screws were provided) as the previous owner had already taken a look.
                    But it seems they didn't get too far and just left it.

                    When I first took a look I was amazed at how pristine the inside looked.
                    Its as if the TV had been in a time capsule.
                    Caps looked like they were just pulled off the self.
                    Copper coils had no sign of corrosion on...

                    Trying to Save - LG 60PH6700 60-inch plasma HDTV - Powers ON but no picture
                    by KYBOSH
                    Saved this beast from the landfill this weekend.
                    Manfactured July 2013 in Mexico.

                    I love working on plasma TVs.
                    Its been a while but I was lucky enough to find 2 this week.

                    The TV powers on and stays on but no picture. Havent checked for sound yet.
                    No bulging caps although the insides are pretty dusty and the boards are discolored from many years of high heat.
                    Will start troubleshooting tonight.

                    T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
                    by Tr0ll
                    Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                    The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                    Original T-con:
                    Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                    First replacement T-con:

                    I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                    SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
                    by JJAAMM
                    This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

                    Problem
                    TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

                    Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                    by TR103
                    Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                    - sound and backlight, but no picture
                    - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                    - it keeps rebooting
                    - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                    - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                    - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                    - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...
