    LG 55LA970W - No sound or picture.

    As above, turns on, speaker drops out of bottom of unit, no sound or picture. If I force power supply on all voltages correct and backlights come on ok. Any troubleshooting tips for boards? TIA

    That test usually means the powerboard and backlights are ok. Try shining a flashlight on the screen hit menu see if you see any text or image if not check the voltage on each side of tcon fuse, negative probe to chassis ground positive probe on each end.

      Could try unhooking the bluetooth module and camera etc., you tried with both remote and tv buttons right? that's if this model has buttons.

        Are you getting power to your t-con board?
        I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

          No image with flashlight test, No difference with Bluetooth module and/or camera disconnected, Both buttons and remote do the same thing and no power to t-con board. I’m thinking mainboard issue ??

            Did you check tcon fuse, you mean no power getting from mainboard to tcon?

              Yes, no power to t-con and fuse is good

                I would say it is mainboard problem.

                    Mainboard arrived and it’s a slightly different board. 55LA965W board. Tv powers on but no control so I know it’s a mainboard issue. Looking for a mainboard if anyone has one. EBT62700302

                      Samsung UN70TU6980FXZA no sound no picture but does have backlights
                      by stinger
                      When I turn tv on, the backlights come on but there is no sound or picture. I have read that these tv's have problems with the panels going bad but the "no sound" has me questioning if the main board is bad. Is there a way to troubleshoot the main board to determine if that is the problem?

                      Samsung UN60EH6000F Black Screen, Backlight and Sound Good. Power Cycle Returns Picture
                      by Mgiffune
                      I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                      I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and

                      Samsung UE60KU6079 backlight okay mainboard responsive, no picture, no sound
                      by Ierwin
                      Hello everyone,
                      Ive got a UE60KU6079 on the workbench that is giving me some headaches trying to troubleshoot.
                      The previous owner stated that there had been white dots on the screen which from the description sounded like some lenses fell of the backlight LEDs.
                      He had opened the TV from the back, trying to get to the backlight, supposedly gave up, reassebled everything and gave the TV to me.
                      I expected the worst like ripped COF cables or a cracked panel but could not find anything like that yet.
                      Anyway I still fully expect that there has been something seriously damaged...

                      Samsung UN70NU6900F no picture and no sound
                      by jchang
                      Hi all

                      I was just given a Samsung TV with the issue. I read various threads and videos and attempted the ribbon tape method to gain an image, but no luck.



                      Symptom:
                      No picture no sound.
                      When I plug in the power cord, Backlight LED turns on for a half second and then turns off. The red LED next to the power button located center bottom flashes 2 or 3 times. When the power button is pressed after, it does the same thing.
                      No sound at all.



                      What I tried:
                      1. I tried unplugging the left or right ribbon...

                      Un70TU7000b Backlights work, no picture, has sound, panel shorted caps
                      by EazyBone
                      Picked up this Samsung above thinking it'd be backlights but it isn't. Now MAYBE I'll get lucky.
                      Found some shorted caps among the panel boards. Each cap along the line is shorted. On every board (3 panel driver boards)I disconnect each side right and left ribbons and they are no longer shorted caps and have about 1.5Mohm resistance (on left and right boards). The middle board has the main board disconnected and the caps are shorted. Last 4 pics show arrow to caps.

                      Now what exactly do I need to do in order to attempt to fix this issue?

                      do I have to take each one...
