Re: Samsung LN46A550 Picture Issue

4/20/14 Update: I got my repaired T-con board back from ShopJimmy yesterday and just installed it back in my tv [LN37A550] today - the picture is back to normal and everything works find.

Thanks so much to T-Rex and everyone for posting the info in this thread; before I came upon this info i was thinking would have to junk this tv and buy a new one. But thanks to this forum I am back in tv viewing business!

Re: Samsung LN46A550 Picture Issue



I have a Samsung LN37A550 with same picture issues as the photos shown by T-Rex at beginning of this thread. Based on this thread and other things I've read on this site, it seems to be a T-Con board problem. I just removed the T-Con board and ordered the 'repair service' from Shop Jimmy [they are out of stock on new boards].

I will return to this thread and post the results in a week or so when I get the repaired board back and install it. Thanks for all who posted here - this really helped diagnose the problem....

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello Everyone,

Was researching LCD TV troubleshooting for my Samsung and happened upon this site. I thought I'd join this forum because I have had a great experience with a car repair forum that I joined about a year ago and which proved to contain a wealth of knowledge and very experienced helpful members. This Badcaps forum seems similar in that way - experts willing to share their knowledge. I have not done a lot of TV repair myself but my Dad used to fix all the neighbors' TV's when I was growing up in the 60's...
