Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
Seems to be working well. I had to adjust the VS from 107 up to 113 to deal with the dreaded pink banding issue. I checked for this to make sure before I closed it up, luckily. I had this problem before the boards went kablooey, so I am not surprised I had to up the VS again.
Thinking about it, I am wondering if 6 plus months of higher voltage caused the x main to blow in the first place....may be a connection?

No, I mean online tech support. No one besides me has messed with this baby. There are no firmware upgrades they have that are not available to the GP in this case. Toodles....Leave a comment:

Samsung tech says I have the highest firmware. Stupid that their site has a lower version tho. Says something about their support level. No one updated it cuz I was original owner lol. Onwards and upwards. Thanks Shinju for your support....Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
My tv was manufactured Nov 2011, and on samsung website, the only firmware i can find is from Aug 2011. Assuming my tv has this already.

I am wondering if the firmware from the UK site would work [url]http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/PS51D530A5WXZG[/url] or from this mediafire site from avsforum [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/15s5qs76j96zeq4/T-MST4AUSC.zip[/url] from the thread [url]http://www.avsforum.com/foru...Last edited by ehboy; 11-04-2014, 04:21 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
Well, screw meself, IT IS WORKING! I had some shytey little cord not plugged into the bottom of the y main, but thanks to plugging in my laptop with Peaky Blinders into the HDMI, I got sound, but no picture. Then I looked and even though I had double checked, I had not plugged in that cord. BOOM. Peaky in all its' glory.
Thanks so much tom66 and everyone else. I hope my luck continues.
PS. Watch Peaky Blinders if you haven't yet. Awesome show set in Birmingham post WW1.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
Ok, changed the x main, y main, logic board, y buffer, x buffer. Good thing, tom66, I checked the y buffer on machine i bought. I got a few shorts on it, but mine was good!
The tv powered up, and you could see the glow. However, I cannot seem to get any pictures, etc. I am a bit stuck. I don't hear the start up chime, nor do I know where to go from here.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
On a totally unexpected and happy note, I was in a different city this weekend. As I was leaving, I did a random search on a used selling site. Lo and behold, some poor bloke had the exact same TV as mine, expect one of his kids broke the screen by releasing a Wii remote at an inopportune time.
Got it home, cracked it open, plugged it in, and seems to work; no clicking at least, and a couple of voltage tests seemed ok.
Question: I am planning on swapping out all of the boards and cables. I don't want...Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
Yes they do. No I didn't update, as I didn't know one was supposed to.
I will indeed update the firmware if this thing ever gets working again. Do you have any links to that info about extra voltage?
I'm thinking that if this new one blew, something else is happening. Maybe....Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
It could be Tom. I just don't know how I would tell if it was bad. It worked for a few seconds. I noticed on the backside that there were two wires that someone had soldered on to something I guess to fix something. It was weird there was silicone on the wires globbed on for some reason. I think this is the reason I got my money back.
These boards are so scarce I have no idea where to find one. This board had the exact same configuration as mine, except it was stamped DF instead of DFG and was a...Leave a comment:

Well, I wasn't looking at the board, as I was looking at the miraculous picture on the screen, but the sound came from the x main side.
Connectors all seated as are screws.
The screen was on for maybe 5 or 10 seconds.
On the bright side, the ebay seller fully refunded my part and shipping.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
Finally got my board off ebay.
Installed it, powered up and WOO HOO it worked! But before I could actually SAY WOO HOO, I heard a POP and the screen went black. Clickety, clickety, clack is back.
To recap:
1. It was suggested it was a Y main. Bought that and installed, no love.
2. Rediagnosed as X main. Got that, and results noted above.
I have spent $100 and almost 2 months waiting for parts to get this unit fixed. Needless to say, I am fairly disheartened.

Re: SAMSUNG LCD LN40D610M4FXZA - Backlight & Sound OK. No pitcure - Blank Screen.
Can't quite understand what shuffling the cables will accomplish. More likely to be damaged by manual twisting and bending than just sitting there. If they are already faulty, shuffling them will make no difference.
Best wishes.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN51D550C1F died, won't turn on, clicking
Finally sourced an x main and it came with the x sus too, so I have that as a spare if I need it, tom66.
Shall update when it arrives.Leave a comment:
