Re: Samsung LN46C530 Won't Turn On

I am fine with purchasing a new main if it is a major headache to troubleshoot. I just want to be sure that is where the problem is before I buy one.

Re: Samsung LN46C530 Won't Turn On

The power supply board is BN44-00341A. The main board is BN41-01477A. Thanks for the PDF. I unplugged the main board from the power board and plugged the TV up. The backlight did in fact come on. I have attached the images.

Thanks,

My Samsung LN46C530 will not turn on. I press the power button and the red power light will flash 5 times and it will not turn on. There is no chime or anything. I used to be able to unplug it and after a while it would come back on but that does not work any more. I pulled the back off and visually inspected the capacitors. They all appeared fine. I didn't expect to see damaged capacitors since this tv was manufactured in 2010. How would I go about troubleshooting to determine if it is a bad power board or main board?

Thanks,
William
