Samsung panel failure or t con?

[ozzy214]

Take a look at the pics and see if u think panel or t con? I'm leaning towards panel. Other observation I noticed is the hdmi ports do not seem to be working unless my lappy is being a pia! Lappy couldn't identify all 3 hdmi ports....

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

can't see why it would be a panel although if that's not glare in your picture, then the panel would be a candidate.

odds are high that your pc can't talk to the tv (common problem)... get / borrow a cheap dvd player to verify... or try OTA reception for a picture.

Nope not glare.....screen is green and osd is red just like in the pictures. I doubt its my lappy as it communicates with the other tvs just fine. But I do have a hdmi blu ray I will try.

So u concur panel? Debating on part out of fix

What model is it? Looks like a 40B530 or 46B530. If it's got the CMO panel and T-con then I'm voting T-con.

Settings in the hidden menu are correct?

Google it. Try with set in standby, Mute + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power

The problem is the t-con that's why white image it occurs....u can fix the as15 ic on t-con but pain in the ass removing and installing....it's better new or used t-Con....

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

Well they want 50 for a used t con..so in the bin goes. I did try another hdmi decive and ports are working. I did a full serve reset in the service menu, still no good. So by bye..next...LMAO! And there is no one local to service the t con!

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

Why bin it ? Why not try fixing it ? We can help you diagnose the board lol

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

Because its most likely the as15 chip. Thats only 15 bucks. But I cant solder surface mount. I only ever had good luck with through hole. Hands no good with fine work like that. And there is no one around me that can do surface mount.

So in the bin it goes. Cant justify a 50 usd t con board or a 50 usd repair service on a 8 year old set. Parts it is LOL!

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

Hey Ozzy, send it to me, and I'll give it a go on fixing it. I've got a couple of those AS15's and a hot air station! I'm in OKC, OK.

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

Got it.

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

Thanks to Cliff tv is indeed FIXED!! Sent the t-con to him and he put a as15 chip on it. Works fine under preliminary test. Tomorrow will "burn" it in a bit. Thanks again my friend!

Re: Samsung panel failure or t con?

Fixed pic, although I got to put the rubber compound back on the as 15 for cooling and "burn" it in a bit...looks GREAT!!!
