Re: Samsung PN60E530 no picture

Hi, problem solved!

Checked the voltages on x and y main and they seemed ok. I had 2 old y-buffer boards that I had just replaced with new ones from shopjimmy. I checked the old ones following the steps on your video and they seemed fine, so I put them back in (first upper, then lower). TV turned on when I replaced the lower one.

Was kinda weird - can't tell now if my old x-main or y-main were faulty too, but TV is working so it doesn't matter. Thanks tom66!

Hi tom66, thx for the quick response! It blinks every 6 sec.

Hi

My Samsung PN60E530 started acting funny a few months ago, not showing a picture when turned on (just sound). After turning it on/off a couple times it would work just fine. Problem started getting worse and now can't get it to show picture anymore. I did a bunch of research online and replaced a few boards. Started with Y-sustain and buffers. After changing them, I could hear clicking and a little buzzing right after powering it on, but still no picture. I went on and replaced x-sustain, to no success.

Not sure now if it's an issue with power supply, main board...
