samsung un46es7500fxza flickers after a few minutes

[tmlfan]

i cant find much....if any info on here about this TV, found one thread on another site about the same issue, basically this is a TV i picked up that quit working after they had it for 6 months and Samsung wouldn't honor the warranty so it sat in there closet for a few years, from what i read it is a known issue with the tvs, basically after watching it for a few minutes the screen starts to flicker and reboots, most replies i see say it is either a bad ribbon cable coming from main board to power board or the power board itself, ive also seen some people replace the main board to fix it, just trying to narrow it down before i buy parts

Burnt end of ribbon cable was the end plugged into power board

Just about every size ES series has been plagued by this arcing connector issue. Here are pics of the UN55ES7500 with burnt connectors. Usually will se a screen with colored vertical lines or flashing on and off. The only way to properly repair is to replace the power supply AND the cable. Just pray the cable is available. I service a chain of sports bars and they bought a bunch of them and most had this problem eventually.
