    Troubleshooting a BN44-00440B power supply

    Hi Folks,

    I'm new here, name's Ben. Trying to fix a TV my neighbor threw out. Neighbor told me his TV repair guy "couldn't find the part". So I'm like "I got dis!"

    to the project:

    When plugged in the TV turns on, plays the power on tune, screen comes on, then it turns itself totally off. Assuming this is a power supply issue I removed the board from the TV and examine the boards various parts. No obvious blown components.

    I have a UTL33T multi-meter that I've only used one other time. So anyone willing tell me how to test the board's components I'll follow the instructions.

    TV is a LN40E550F7FXZA CH01. Power Supply is a BN44-00440B board.

    I've got all the tools to diagnose the issue. Only tool I don't have for repair is a soldering tool, which I wouldn't be opposed to getting/learning to use.

    Pic attached of board.

    Thanks in advance!

    You need to Check the dc Voltage on the power supply board connector that goes to the main board, you need to check the Voltage when TV is OFF and when TV power switch is activated.
    You MUST put down the pin names and follow by the Voltage reading for EACH pin (Pin names are printed on the board)

      Little hazy.. But I'm proceeding this morning.

      Plugged the board back up and going to let it shut itself off after the hitting the power switch then get readings.

        So in the process of trying to test I fumbled the board, touching the TV, and creating a large spark.

        Now the TV won't turn on at all. Replace whole board or did I blow one of those tiny fuses?

        The fuse at 8025 is reading as no circuit now. I'm guessing a fuse should read as a circuit when tested.

          Good fuse should show the about the same resistance when you touch the two meter probes together.
          Right now it can be just blown fuse or you may have damaged other component, I.E. bridge rectifier, MOSFET, etc., on the board so you need to test them, or just buy a new board.

            Thinking it's just buy a new board now. Going to price them

              Try replacing the fuse then "carefully" test the board again if you got 2 seconds to black it may not be a powerboard issue.

                Just seeing this. Already bought a board, will update next week when it arrives.

                  New Board came in, back to the same problem. After research it looks like the CM40t_chs "backlight inverter" is the issue.

                  This part seems to be very difficult to obtain, but not very expensive. Found a Mexican site that appears to have it, but not knowing Spanish I'm unsure. Haven't had time to look it back up from the desktop.

                  Any leads anyone knows of would be appreciated.

                        Shine a flashlight at the screen, try pushing menu on the tv or remote, see if you see any text or image at all.

                            I'll try playing with the menus. Thanks for that link, I'm going to contact the seller to see if they still have it, the original sale is over.

                              So now you have replacement power supply, you then you need to test the Voltages as I suggested in post 2 to find out if the main board is sending the control signals or not to the power supply board.

                                  Yes what bud said, check CN802 voltages, theres a little map/legend of expected voltages near by the connector, check them with all boards hooked up, tv in standby, make note, turn tv on and record any changes from standby, something like this: pin 12 A5v: standby 5 volts, power on 5 volts, check them all theres 2 rows, report all voltages.
