    LN-32A550P3F No screen and squealing

    The blue Samsung led in the center at the bottom lights up and the red power light blinks but no backlight. Then after a few seconds, it starts to squeal. I changed all the power supply caps even though they were not bulged. I metered the coils on the inverter board, and all reading fine. So I found another mainboard that I had. I installed it and went into the service menu to change it to the model I that I am working on. Well now the tv turns on, it doesn't squeal and I get video except the video is red. Is the tcon bad?

    Search C102 in the forums since this cap on the main board can cause squealing and green screen.

      But I replaced the main board and now I have a red screen. Should I find an old Samsung mainboard and replace C102 on the board I pulled out?

        It could be a mismatch between the main board and t-con, or it could be a service menu setting that is still wrong. Check the other settings in the service menu IE: LVDS OUT Format, Panel Option.

        The cap at location C102 is only on a certain main boards, not all of them.

        This thread has pictures of the main board and the model: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...highlight=c102

          I wish I knew what the original settings were. I'm going to look at some old Samsung mainboards I have laying around and change the cap on the original board.

            Do these settings look right? Maybe I'm missing something.

              Too hard to see the settings, it's sideways.

                I know I'm trying to set it straight. Let me repost.

                  Maybe the LVDS out format, make note of what it is now, see if you can change it, on some when you change it the picture clears up and you can see it right then.

                    I ended up doing Budm's mod on the original board from the other thread. The tv is working perfectly now! The only difference I see is the 32A CV vs. 32A C and Gamma .95 vs. .90

                      So are you saying that your main board DID have the cap at C102?

                        Yes the original one had the cap so I did the Budm mod. I tried replacing the mainboard originally with one I had but I got the red screen. I couldn't get rid of the red screen so I tried the mod and it worked.

                            Oh, ok, I read it as neither of your boards had c 102.

                              by Ryan.man
                              Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                              My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                              This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                              Hi,

                              I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

                              by Chrissygizmo
                              Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                              I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

                              by spice_disc
                              I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                              The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

                              by ipatch
                              i have an ipad pro 9.7" (1st gen) A1674 where i replaced the screen, but never attached the screen to the frame/chassis (glued down) due to the ipad being previously dropped so the new screen would never fit in the frame properly. so i need flex/bend the chassis to eventually fix the new screen in properly. so i temporarily just applied blue tape around the edges of the screen to keep it in place. when watching videos with the ipad the screen started flicker, so i though maybe the new quasi cheap amz screen i purchased was going out. so i disconnected then reconnected with power still on,...
