Thanks flocko, duly ordered from Hong Kong.
Finally bit the bullet and ordered a solder station from Germany too.

Re: Samsung LE40A558P3F new AS15-F did not cure Solarized picture
UPDATE
Whilst waiting for delivery of the new AS15-F chips to arrive I decided to remove the one I had fitted. After removal I noticed that some bridges between the pads. I cleaned up the area and applied "real" solder to the pads, which looked much neater.
Thought I would just have a go at re-soldering the chip I had just removed, I needed the practice.
End result TV works perfectly.
May I thank all for their help, great forum.Leave a comment:

Waiting on delivery from UK of new AS15-F, could not find 11galaxy on ebay anywhere, so used another UK supplier "Hearty Components" fingers crossed.Leave a comment:

Thanks guys, I'll use him if I can't get one locally here in Reus, as I would like to watch this Sunday's F1 GP in the comfort of my home rather than in a bar where the crowd starts baying for the football to be put on instead.

Thanks diif, only problem is the 15 to 45 days delivery time they quote! Good price though.Leave a comment:

Hi tom66, thanks for your reply, are there any other tests I can do, I only have a multimeter? The chip came from Germany and I was assured by our local TV fixer that it was the best quality and cost a lot more than the Flea bay ones! (I had my doubts though).Leave a comment:

Thanks for the replies, I see what you mean with the dip in voltage, but as it applies to both chips the as mentioned by "diif" I suspect the fault is elsewhere, obviously the question is where?Leave a comment:

Samsung LE40A558P3F new AS15-F did not cure Solarized picture
I have a Samsung LE40A558P3F that has a solarized display. It just happened whilst I was watching over a 2 minute period.
I read lots on this forum and concluded that the problem was the AS15-F.
I replaced the little beast, during which I decided that lead free solder is crap!
However the problem still persists, below are the before and after replacement readings of the gamma voltages.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Many thanks for letting me in here.
I'm a bit of novice, but have many repairs that are still working (and a few that aren't!)Leave a comment:
