Re: Need Help! Samsung LCD TV LN46C630

I have this same issue. Red status light stays on but no response from tv.

Backlights turn ON when black cable between main board and BN44-00341B are disconnected. No backlighting when ribbon cable removed from top board (t-con?) which runs to main board. Seems to point to bad main board?

FYI, I had this tv plugged into a squid type power distributor during a thunderstorm, which I assumed was a surge protector, I guess I assumed wrong as this is what damaged my TV. The problem occurred immediately after our power flickered...
