    Samsung LN46C610N1F no backlight

    I picked up this set from the trash as it looked in good overall health. I found out that the panel is working but no backlight. Upon opening up the rear and inspecting things, reading off of other googled threads, I couldn't immediately find any problems. The fuses are good on the PSU board. The display is there with a flashlight, so the T-Con board seems to be functioning. A deeper scan on the PSU board and I found that CP820, a small blue ceramic disc capacitor is blown out the side. Would just this capacitor be the problem? OR does it indicate a further issue? Board is a BN44-00341B. I was going to try testing a couple things from another thread that I saw budm mention, but I look forward to any responses on this unit issue.

    I removed the cable from the PSU to the Main input board and no backlights. I also closely inspected C1818 and it appears good, and gives me a reading of .4688. As common as it seems I guess that is not my issue Hopefully someone with schematics that understands them can tell me if that CP820 is the only issue, I know it let the smoke out, I can smell it on the board! LOL

      CP820 (commonly failed cap, it should be replaced with 2KV cap) is the snubber cap for the PFC DIODE DP802, when the cap is shorted out it will bypass the PFC diode so there will be no boosted Voltage of 380~400VDC on the main filter cap.
      What DC Voltage do you have on the main filter cap when TV is turned on?
      How about the Voltages on the power suply connector that goes to the main board?
      Report the name and the follow by the Voltage readings when TV is OFF and when the power switch is turned on.

        Hey budm, glad you could chime in. Could you tell me which is the "main" cap? I will head out to the cold space and test the voltages on the main board connector.

          ON is below OFF = all 0.0vdc
          PWR_ON/OFF = 12.74vdc
          A5V = 12.74vdc
          B5V = 5.17vdc
          GND = 5.17vdc
          GND = 0.0vdc
          HSYNC = 0.0vdc
          PWM_DIM = 12.74vdc
          SW_INV = 12.74vdc
          LAMP_DET = 12.74vdc

            You count the pin of the connector wrong that is why those Voltages are wrong, the exposed pins that you can see from the top side are the ODD number pins, the Even number pins you will have to rpbe on the backside of the pins where the wires go into the connector.
            The main filter caps are the big lytics cap rated at 450VDC.
            The negative leg of the main filter cap is the GND ref. for the primary side of the circuit.
            Do not touch anything in the hot side of the circuit, not even the heatsinks.

              Re: Samsung LN46C610N1F no backlight

              Wait, so pull the main board plug to test? or pull the board to test?
              Testing the main filter caps then with power on? Just test the + side to gnd? This kind of diagnostics is new to me, sorry for the confusion.. I really am capable. Just want to be safe.

                Re: Samsung LN46C610N1F no backlight

                All the boards will have to be connected and live, you will have use skinny probe to test the EVEN number pins though the back side of the connector where the wires go in, chassis GND for your probe because you are working on the cold side of the circuit.
                Checking the Voltage between the negative and positive legs of the main cap will be harder since you will be making measurement in the HOT DEADLY side of the circuit.
                You should AT THE VERY LEAST plug the AC cord into GFCI outlet TO PROTECT YOUR SELF since I am sure you do not have isolation power transformer.

                  main filter caps are 75vdc one leg, and 76vdc the other. Thats both 802 and 803.

                  plug removed to main/ off - on
                  PWR_ON/OFF = .804vdc - 12.71
                  A5V = 5.17vdc - 12.71
                  B5V = 5.17vdc - 5.07
                  GND = 0.0vdc - 5.07
                  GND = 0.0vdc - .049
                  HSYNC = 0.0vdc - .049
                  PWM_DIM = 5.08vdc - 12.71
                  SW_INV = 5.08vdc - 12.71
                  LAMP_DET = 0.0vdc - 12.71

                    Re: Samsung LN46C610N1F no backlight

                    OK sorry that test was with board flipped but main connected.. the long black covered one was not (two small connectors off power board) the main caps are 154.5vdc with everything connected. Reason for flipping that board is that I cannot get my fluke 16 leads into the wire outs to get a reading.

                      154.5vdc after the power switch is activated? The PS-ON has to be present for the PFC to work.
                      Did you remove that blown cap and test the resistance of that PFC diode? You

                        BN44-00341B board. This is your board, corrected?
                        The two main filter caps have two exposed legs so you do not need to flip the board over.

                            The board is still intact. The tv made the power on sound and I tested those caps after that. That was my reading..... I remember listening to some sort of youtube video, it was a guy tampatec that said something to the effect that if you get 130vdc its the leds, if 0vdc then the psu board led driver portion is bad and 100vdc then the board leds are bad?


                            edit:
                            Yes that is my board. will get photos, 2 minutes.

                                I only flipped board over to test the other pinout to main input board. I did have to disconnect the wires to what I think is the T-con board in order to flip it. I wont be able to test otherwise unless I can dig up another meter or different leads for my Fluke meter.

                                  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-jQZ-TQdgU
                                  It is easy fix alright by disconnecting the jumper for the PFC Low Voltage protection circuit, instead of find out what the cause of the problem but taking short cut by cutting the wire for protection.
                                  The real problem is due to low PFC Voltage.
                                  I did the circuit analyzing finding out the reason for low PFC Voltage (360V instead of 380~400VDC) is due to bad resistor network in the PFC feedback circuit.
                                  If you look at the pictures of the board, you will see that shopjimmy solder the JP852 back together and fix the PFC circuit.
                                  Be careful as to what you see on Youtube!

                                    use a thin piece of wire, like a resistor or cap leg to poke into the connector to save having to disconnect anything. it is slow, but it will work.

                                      At this point we need to get that PFC boosted Voltage of 380 (at least)~400V first.
                                      So verify again the Voltage reading between the + and - leg of either one of the main filter cap when power switch is activated, the backlights inverter circuit needs that Voltage to run.

                                        Ok, I appreciate your help. I have run out of time this evening to test. I will look for another set of leads (thought I bought replacements) if not I have a cheaper handyman meter somewhere too. Just to confirm, I have NOT replaced/repaired the CP820 Capacitor yet. I am also bench testing the tv with no stand so its hard to know when its on or off without flipping over. (red LED on means off, and LED off means tv ON?) Tomorrow when I get a chance I will repost with voltages ON and OFF from pinout on main board connector from PSU, as well as double check the main filter caps voltage. Perhaps I can find a cap locally so I dont have to wait on digikey and pay shipping. Talk soon!

                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          Hi all!
                                          I've recently run into an issue with my Samsung UN55H8000AF LED TV displaying no image. I've done quite a bit of research in terms of what could be wrong with it. Below are the steps I've taken prior to reaching out here for some assistance:

                                          1. I've tried replacing the T-Con board (BN95-01594A), twice and have still experienced the same issue with all the boards I've tested with.
                                          2. I've tried to remove one side of the ribbon cable that goes from the T-Con board to the panel and still not getting any image on left or right side.
                                          3. I've checked voltages...

                                          Hey everyone,

                                          This power supply board is hard to find but there are repair kits available. This board had a blown fuse, FP801S, blown PFC MOSFET, QP802CS and ceramic cap, CP809. I replaced them with parts I already had and tested the rest of the parts that would've come in the repair kit and they were fine. I powered the board up on the bench expecting, in typical Samsung power supply board fashion, to see all my output voltages but, nothing. 0 volts on CNL801, CNM801 and CNT801. The only thing I have is 170vdc on the filter caps. No standby voltage either.

                                          Anybody...
