    Samsung LE40B652, Backlight is on only for few seconds after switching TV on.

    Hi,
    Got now Samsung LE40B652
    Backlight is on only for few seconds after switching TV on.
    Power supply:
    BN44-00264A
    Checked the voltage on the two filter/PFC 450V/82uF caps:
    Fluctuating between 382-402V when TV is ON
    Standby: 332-346V
    Not sure if that's what I should expect for this power supply.
    PFC chip?
    Read online something about backlight transformers also.
    From your experience what it could be, please?
    Thanks a lot for any support.
    Regards.

    Most likely bad transformer. Compare resistance readings from each one. Odd reading one is bad.
    It also could be a bad bulb. Use a florescent bulb and touch the transformers on left and right sides when powering up the set. Bulb should light up a bit.

      Checked the transformers.
      Got same readings on all of them, about 1530-1540 Ohm.

        Check capacitor CI892.

          Very interested.
          I'll check that this evening and I'll let you know.
          Thank you very much.

            Done, replaced.
            Still same

            Two filter caps 82uF/450V also replaced
            Still the same.

            What else can I check?

              You may have a bulb that is going bad. You can check the small blue disk capacitors by the transformers.

                  Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                  One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                  Samsung QE82Q70RAT no backlight
                  by sansanpartida
                  Hi everyone!

                  Hope you're all having a great day, and thank you very much for stopping by and taking the time to read this post to help me with my parents' Samsung TV.

                  My issue: No backlight.

                  Model: QE82Q70RAT
                  Type No: QE82Q70RAT

                  The TV was already serviced by Samsung once under warranty for the exact same issue, but six months after the fix, the backlight went out again. Now, Samsung is asking for nearly the same price as a brand new TV to fix this with the same 6-month guarantee.

                  So hopefully, I can fix this cheaper.

                  Samsung UN55NU7300F Curved TV. Half side backlight out. Fixed by just removing the rear snap cover
                  by howardc64
                  TV was fixed just after removing Samsung's rear snap cover.

                  This curved TV's construction is rather interesting. When the snapped on back is removed, rest of the TV will relax the curvature. Top of LCD panel is loose as it wants to straighten out against the slightly curved bezel. Snapped back provide most of the curvature shape. So just simple disassembly of rear cover will allow the rest of the TV frame to relax its curvature. Thats probably what fixed it but no idea which connection. 4x LEDs are edge lit.

                  Maybe PSU->backlight connector didn't have a good contact?...
