    Samsung LN46B640R3F NO PICTURE

    Reaching out once again to you TV gurus, I picked up this Tv from a friend and the picture worked great starting out but then would start becoming white washed, (negative image). After reading on here I decided to try and replace the as15 ic chip. So my limited experience caused me to fail as when I put it back together I lost the picture, I still had backlights but no more picture. I'm guessing I had bridged pins or incomplete solder joints on the pins. I then decide just to order a new tcon board. I got it today and nothing changed. I have backlights but no picture and nothing shows when pulling up source or menu. I disconnected the lvds from tcon to panel and I got words on the side still connected (though it was completely whitewashed). Got the exact same when I tried disconnecting the other lvds cable from the panel. Not sure where to start troubleshooting because I fear me messing up the as15 chip I may have caused another problem. Thanks in advance I will post pictures from my phone.

      i had a similar set recently and found liquid damage on the panel driver boards. of course i changed the as15 ship first, but, you get that.

      i would remove the metal frame and inspect the boards just to be sure.

        So break the panel down, do you have a write up on taking this panel apart to get to the boards you are referring to?

          Do you have 12v on the tcon fuse ?

            I see no fuse on my tcon board, which one are you referring to using the picture I provided.

            Attaineddragon, I'm not ruling anything out but keep in mind the tv had picture before I messed with the as15 chip

              ok, lets start with the voltage readings of the vg test points. from 1 to 22 in dcv. they are next to the as chip. these are your gamma voltages and will let you know if your as15 chip is working properly.

                your t-con fuse is f0002 and is just below the 4 pin connector to the t-con. i would expect it to be good though since you have partial screen operation.

                      that is a bad AS chip. just out of curiosity, can you disconnect the ribbon cables that go to the panel and retest.

                            what are the facts on voltage readings proving it has bad as chip, partserve is where I bought the board and they will try charging a restocking fee unless the board is bad

                              unfortunately the voltages are still bad. the voltages should form a curve if graphed out and these results are far from that. looks like you got a dud board.

                              you can always link this thread to them to show that you have actually tested the board.

                                  Attainteddragon can you post a link to the thread where you found damaged driver board or suggest what steps I should follow. I got another tcon board and its back to the original state before I ever touched it, gamma slightly off so I'm starting to think I may have another problem. I will tell the vgma on the newest tcon on Monday when I get home

                                    unfortunately i didn't get any pics of the damaged driver board that i had from a few weeks back, and it looks like i threw the board out.

                                    i'm not sure what other issues you could be facing outside of the as issue. maybe others might shed some new light on your set.

                                      I guess its possible the 2nd used tcon board I bought has a bad ic chip, however my picture is slightly off, not near as bad as some of the associated pictures of negative images. I tried messing with all the settings with no luck. If there is anyone in the south that is up for letting me mail them my board that is willing to change the as15 chip.... Please let me know

                                        - 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.

                                        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...

                                        by Mgiffune
                                        I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu.

                                        Hi friends,

                                        a friend of mine gave me this TV to fix, with common SAMSUNG TV issue - damaged panel. Turning on, sound is present, but no picture. So I went directly to standard process, connecting two pads together with a wire ( see in the picture ), and then removing flex cables. With right flex connected, there was half screen working, but still no picture ( disappearing colors and similar weird stuff ) + working sound. With left flex connected, TV is restarting + working sound. I supposed, left side is damaged, so I then blocked all 8 CLK pins ( going from 0R resistors on the second...
