Samsung ue50f6100 no picture

[Rob0904]

I might be getting a samsung ue50f6100 very cheap because it's faulty.

The picture first went blurry then faded to black and now no image at all.

The back lights seem to work as they can be seen from the back.

Any ideas on were I could start on fixing it? Is it worth checking the capacitors or is it a tcon issue.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Rob

You could be looking at a bad panel so I would be cautious. However you could strike lucky. Does it have sound and does it respond to the remote control and any side buttons?

Hoping it's not a bad panel... only thing I know for sure is the backlights come on And there is no picture.
Is there a quick test for the panel? Some way of jumping a test image?

I think it has an integrated TCON fixed to the panel so personally I would leave it. Someone else may be better able to advise.
