    Re: Samsung LN52A550P3FX2A, blinking red light in front. No backlight.

    and just for the sake of completeness this is what I see when I plug it in. Its a crapshoot between a normal image, a solid aquamarine, and a nasty glitched out screen before it shuts off and turns back on again. Its a big improvement over not turning on at all before. I already changed all of the power board caps and double checked that the new ones arent bulging.

    I really want to avoid removing and replacing anything on the brand new board, but it looks like thats the only option I have left.

      so I replaced C102 on the new board, and it worked! I had almost given up on this thing!

      thanks everyone for your help!

      in case anyone googles this in the future, I replaced the SMD C102 with a 47uF tantalum capacitor. I am not sure why even after replacing C102 on the old main board it still wouldn't fire up. Perhaps the EEPROM was bad on the old board, but good on the new one. If a klutz like me can do this with a 52 inch, anyone can

            Samsung UE40F5300AK blinking red light
            by Fergal22
            Hi,
            I have the above tv that just shows a red light blinking twice 5 times, i have taken the back off and all the capacitors seem ok,
            When i disconnect the mainboard from the PSU all the led's light up blinking fast but as soon as i reconnect the mainboard back to the power supply i get the red light blinking again twice 5 times,
            I have attached pictures of the Mainboard, PSU and a small video (zipped) showing what happens when i disconnect the lead from the psu
            Any help would be appreciated...

            by norbiszoke
            Hello,

            We have this set here in our shop that is not ginving sign of life besides red light that is blinking one time after pressing the button and nothing more...

Can anyone from the forum help me here? Thank you in advance. Here's a link with images of the mainboard and the memory IC's that are on it.

            Samsung UE46D6100 LED TV blinking red light indicator
            by 3DDD
            Hello, I have a Samsung UE46D6100. It cannot be turned on, only the red status LED flashes, the power supply part bn44-00458a gives an output of 5V(A), it is probably functional. I don't know where to look for the error, according to the video it should be a faulty mosfet. I found a mosfet marked WAAH, I don't know what it is. Can anyone help me?...
