Re: Samsung LE40A656A1F

Hi All

This set is giving me some grief. Just about ready to throe it in the bin.

Changed all the caps om the power supply as you all sugested. Plugged it in. The fan starts up and runs for 5 seconds then slows down and keeps repeating this sequence with the standby light flashing. Thought I had put in a bad new cap so slowly changed each one back to the original ones. Still the same result as I have just discribed.

Just about at my whits end with this set. Any ideas of either what I've done wrong or what else to try?...

Many thanks for your help

Hi All

Got givern this TV as a scrapper. Had a quick look anf found 2 100MFD caps on the power PCB bulging. Changed the caps and the set started up. Took a look at the picture just a mass of verticle coloured lines. First thought TCON board or the LCD panel no good. As I was thinking about this the top third of the screen started to show a normal picture. After a few more minuits the normal picture extended to half way. Kept watching but nothing else happened just a normal picture in the top half and a mass of verticle coloured lines in the bottom half.
Still thinking panel...

Correction Board No. 26MB16 (HIT)

Re: Hitachi L32VK06U TV

Yes I'm coming to the same conclusion.
Its a Vestal Chaasis tv. Main board is 26WP16 (HIT).
Stangest fault I've ever seen.
Just put the set on and this time its working perfectly.
Wonder if there is a rest code for the software.

Hi all

What a lovety fault on this set.

Most of the time when turned on you get a blank screen with the backlights working. The volume diplay works as does the Input menu. If you switch it to any other input apart from DTV set will work normally.

However on DTV just a blank screen, Menu function does not work. If you then turn tv off the red standby flashes. The only thing you can then do is unplug it from the mains and try again.

About once in twenty tries the tv will start up and work absolutley fine.

Have tried everything...

Hi All

This television is stuck in what I believe is "Burn in Mode" as it is displaying alternate Red, Green and Blue rasters. Can any body tell me how to return to normal without using the remote control.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
