    Samsung 60" Plasma TV, Blinking Standby LED

    A sports bar/restaurant with ~40 Samsung Plasma TVs. This is the 2nd TV that has a blinking standby LED. I'd like to learn how to repair these TVs because I'd guess that over time more and more of them will develop this symptom. My hope is to repair the bad PCB, however if that's not realistic then I'd replace the bad PCB.

    Model PN60F5300AF, Type PN60F5300, Model Code PN60F5300AFXZA

    Upon applying power, the red standby is steady. When I tap the power button, the standby LED immediately blinks twice, then it blinks once ~ every 4 secs. Also, Upon applying power, the MB's green LED is off; when I tap the power button it immediately flashes twice (one short, one longer), then briefly blinks about once every 3 secs. No video is seen.

    Panel Info: Model S60fh-yb01, Date 2013-07-02, Vs 208, Va 57, Vsc -192, Ve 108.

    PCBs:
    PS: PSPF 3715003
    Main Board: BN41-01965
    X buffers: 60FF_XM & 60FF_XB
    Y Sustain: 60FF_YM
    Y Buffers: 60FF_YB_UP & 60FF_YB_LOW

    Actual panel voltages:
    VS 208V (for a few seconds, then drops off)
    VA 57V (for a few seconds, then drops off)
    VE 10V ... 8V ... 11.4V
    VSC -2V (for a few seconds, then drops off)
    It looks like VE & VSC are powered off of VS so maybe it's expected that they are nearly non-existent.

    PS CON1
    STBY 5.2V in standby, same after tapping power button
    PS-ON 3.3V in standby, 0.0V after tapping power button
    VS-ON 0.0V in standby, 3.2V after ~1 sec from tapping power button
    VS-CON 0.0V in standby, 1.5V after ~1 sec from tapping power button
    15V pins are 15.5V, 5.3V pins are 5.23V

    Pics are in my GDrive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...EX?usp=sharing

    FYI, this is my first post. Let me know if I'm doing it wrong.

    I read elsewhere that one can test the PS standalone. I disconnected the two small cables, jumped PS_ON to gnd and jumped VS-ON to Standby via a resistor. I loaded VS via light bulbs. The PS came on and was steady. VS out was a little high, 213V so I set it to the panel's VS voltage, 208. Added PS 07.jpg to the GDrive share.

      Anyone know if I can now test the XM and Y SUS board w/o damaging anything?

        Watch this video. These capacitors fail very often. 106 = 10uf 50v. Im working on a 64" model now,waiting for capacitors, but the tv still has sound, so they should fix it.

          I ordered blue disk caps for the "large" caps (1.0uF, 0.1uF). Those are on the Y SUS and Y Buffer PCBs. I saw two 220uF/25V electrolytic caps on the X board that may be leaking, so I ordered those too.

                I replaced the large uF blue ceramic caps, but the PS VS/VA rails still turns off after a couple seconds. Two electrolytic caps on the X board had a tiny dark spec near where the plastic folds over the AL top, which could have been a leak, unsure, so I replaced those.

                X
                C4006 & C4015 - 220uF 25VDC

                Y
                C5001 - 104K 300V
                C5013, C5127 - 106K 50V

                Y Low
                C5536, C5541, C5542, C5539, C5535, C5540 - 106K 50V
                Y Up
                C5434, C5437, C5455, C5436, C5431, C5430, C5435 - 106K 50V

                Does anyone know if I can test the Y SUS's power supplies by forcing the PS on while the X cable is connected to the Y SUS? I don't want to damage anything...

                    @Sevenqi, that cap, that was it! It's a 106K that I missed when I was replacing "all" the 106K ceramic caps. THANK YOU!! ITS WORKING!!

                      My 64" Samsung had the same problem. It's now fixed thanks to 3 10uf 50v caps.

                          I worked on the 2nd Samsung 60" Plasma today. It also had no video, Standby LED blinked. I swapped C5162 106K on the Y SUS board. It works again!

                            Zombie Samsung UN55NU6900F dead / no standby voltage - randomly came to life after hours of troubleshooting then died
                            by tvguy12012012120
                            This is my first attempt at troubleshooting a board like this, I know I could just buy a new board but I'm curious to figure out how this works. I've been testing different components in the evenings this week and I think the problem is with the IC failing to start up for some reason. When the board is plugged in there is no standby voltage.

                            Then today it randomly sprung to life like a zombie but shortly died thereafter. I have no idea why it would have done that and its the first time I've seen it running. I discharged capacitors on the board last night, then it was sitting today....

                            LED TV Samsung The Frame 55 inch QE55LS03RAU Standby Light only
                            by ChristianBr01
                            Hello everyone,
                            I got a Samsung The Frame 55 inch TV for free from uncle cause it is not turning on anymore. I am in the second year of training as an electrician so I have knowledge already but I am far away from to be a pro.
                            The TV has Standby but ist not turning on. A Friend of mine owns a 50 inch Frame TV so I checked the One Connect Box and the One Connect Cable there. Both are good and working normally. I have opened the TV case and measured some voltages on the Board.
                            What I already found is that the 12.8V are not an the connector to the main board connector to the power...

                            Samsung Plasma PS43F4500AW Won't Start (flashing standby)
                            by check12
                            Hi ... Samsung Plasma PS43F4500AW ... when powered with 240V mains standby flashes, pressing PWR button causes standby LED to go out but nothing further happens.

                            I have already removed and benched the SMPS, jumpered PS_ON to GND, VS_ON to 5.3v and have VS & VA voltages and all other voltages available at CN4007.

                            VS=213v
                            VA=58v
                            SVT_VS=213v

                            This suggests to me that the SMPS is probably ok but I have no experience of TV repair so could do with some help.

                            I have removed the XY-Drive board and checked all the ribbon cable...

                            Brazilian Samsung LT27B350LB w/ BN44 00506A - blinking standby LED
                            by Crystaleyes
                            Hi all.

                            Recently joined the forum as particularly keen to thoroughly learn about SMPS's.

                            So, a friend asked if his 27" Samsung LED TV could be fixed.

                            The problem being that it would switch off after a few minutes and leave a black screen with a blinking red standby LED.

                            After finding one cap shorting out, all of the electrolytic caps were changed.

                            With the TV still laying screen down, it was switched on and left playing music and videos for some five hours or so, at which point it was decided to replace the back cover...
