    Samsugn PN60F5500AFXZA, dark screen with color speckles

    Hi everyone! The last time I worked on one of these, I had shutdown, but this time, it's acting like a bad X-Main; I'm wondering if anyone knows any tests I could do to confirm it? The pictures of this model's boards can be found here on the first post of this thread:

    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=59567

    Haven't found any missing or low voltages, but haven't checked EVERYTHING. VS, VA, VE are good. TV has audio and when you bring up the menu or any OSD, it brings up all the colored speckles and distortions in that area of the screen. It looks like the typical X-main (Z-SUS) failure we see on all plasmas, but want to make sure....?

    Update: I found two open resistors on the YSUS and I did some checking in my tip Database under a similar model with "poor picture" symptom (which is not very precise) and found this:

    "Upon Opening Up The Set We Noticed R5084 & R5097 On The Y-Sus Module Were Burnt. These Are Both 47 Ohm 2 Watt Resistors

    These Feed The Lower Buffer Pins Labeled Vcsh . On The Lower Buffer There Are Several 30 Ohm 1/2 Watt Resistors That Appear To Feed Each Scan Ic. 2 Of Them, R5504 & R5506 Look Like They Got Abit Toasty!

    Pulled The Lower Buffer And We Measure A Short Across The Big Poly Film Caps C5530 & C5532. Lifting A Lead On Both Those 30 Ohm Resistors...The Short Goes Away. They Feed 2 Pf The 6 Scan Ic'S...So They Are Bad.

    Replacing The 2 Resistors On The Y-Sus And The Lower Buffer ( Part # Lj92-01963a ) Restored Proper Operation"
    ---------------------------------
    I pulled the my buffers and tested those resistors and the caps and they were all good. I also did the buffer short test and found the UPPER had a short, but I think I will just replace both buffers for prev. maintenance.

      Update: I replaced both buffers and the two resistors on the YSUS, now the picture is much better and you can see video, but it still has the colored speckles and massive grain and picture is darker than it should be.

      I'm really scratching my head now. Any help from anyone?

        Something else may have failed on the YSUS when the resistors failed, but what? I do notice that when I'm running the set, those newly replaced resistors stay cool, which is suspect. My VS, VA, VSC and VE are all correct and don't drop. What can I do?

            Maybe a picture of screen
            I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

              Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
              by Ryan.man
              Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

              My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

              This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

              Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
              by reformatt
              Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

              It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

              iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
              by smic717394
              Hi,

              I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

              Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
              by Chrissygizmo
              Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
              I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

              Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
              by spice_disc
              I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

              The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...
