Re: Samsung UN40EH5300F No Power

??? what diode??
There are a series of 3 resistors that go from the main cap positive to supply the ic with its vcc voltage, If its not there the ic won't operate.

DM851C that i pulled from the cold side to test it. that shouldn't affect the IC should it? i'm not sure which pin is which, there's a little arrow on one of the pins, that one is showing 3V. the one to the left of it is showing 0 and the leftmost is 304V AC, except it drops and quickly regains with a new clicking noise at or near the transformer. is this because of the removed diode? the pin across from the leftmost and the adjacent one show 0. the next adjacent one actually jumps up to ~57V with the click and slowly falls down. the rightmost is 0.

001 in both directions?

yes, or a similar low reading. once it was showing 019 and then 009 and then 003 in both directions.

Here's the ebay link, just in case.

thanks. it's also a learning experience for me, i've already learned a lot about this stuff.

The DM851C your test result using diode mode does not make any sense, it should on show reading in one direction only when tested off the board , basically shows like diode with just lower Vf. Can we see the meter screen shot of the readings in both directions?

sorry for the bad quality

Re: Samsung UN40EH5300F No Power

Are you sure when using Ohm mode on this diode it did not show shorted in both directions?
What do you get when you short the meter probes together in diode mode, does it also show '001' or '000'?
What do you get if you do not short the meter probes together?

shows 00.7 ohms in both directions. on diode mode, it shows 001 shorted together, and 1 not shorted

OK, shorted out diode then.
I should have caught that when you indicated "DM851C has no resistance in either direction," in the earlier reply.

What is the diode P/N?

SR306 with 342Y under that. so it's likely the diode that's the problem and not that IC or transformer making the clicking sound?

Re: Samsung UN40EH5300F No Power

OK, P/N of the diode is SR306.

It is recommend to use SBX0 series instead per datasheet.

The IC is more likely to be OK.

okay, ordered SB360, will keep everyone posted. what do you think of those other two diodes with fluctuating voltages? they have a different P/N unfortunately. they're on a different transformer leg than DM851C. and the transformer clicking?

Re: Samsung UN40EH5300F No Power

The transformer is clicking due to shorted diode so it goes into shutdow/re-start cycle.

happy to report that with the new diode all is well! TV works perfectly! thanks everyone for helping

You trust ebay?
The 3s111 chip goes for $13 on Amazon.(10). The board, if found is over $100
