Re: Samsung PN60E530 no picture

Sorry guys.

Ended up getting a new TV and kinda put this one on the backburner. Still got it taken apart and I can check to see what i can find on the capacitors, but I think I tried looking at these before and couldn't find any markings to determine what they are.

I never thought that it would be the power board since that boards voltages were right where they should be.

Any one else had luck with this model?

I might actually give it a try again tonight since the weather is much cooler...

Re: Samsung PN60E530 no picture

I've now replaced pretty much everything in this tv with the exception of the power and input boards. Am I just throwing away cash at this point?

Re: Samsung PN60E530 no picture

Picked up a replacement x sus board since I couldn't find anything for a replacement y board. No luck. I bought the y board rebuild kit from shopjimmy and soldered in all the parts (except for the smallest mosfets) and nothing.

Next step would be the y buffers but they look perfect to me. I was wondering if the bottom board (tcon) could be at fault?

Also, on the back of the input board, it looked like there was damage that I could only describe as long term water damage looking. Like it was pitting the silica board itself....

Re: Samsung PN60E530 no picture

Tested the voltages off the power board last night. I was getting 211~212 & 57~58 which are right where they should be per the panel sticker.

Ordered the yboard rebuild kit from ShopJimmy and it should be coming in a few days. Besides that, I'd like to replace the little blue capacitors next to the yellow transformer that is referenced a little higher up in the thread.

I don't see any markings on the ones in the board now. Does anyone have the specs for these so I can get some new ones?

Re: Samsung PN60E530 no picture

I have had this same issue happen with this model. It has been acting up for months. Usually it would turn on with sound but no picture first and then I would be able to turn it off and back on and the picture would appear. Went on a vacation for a few days and came back to no picture at all. I think it's time to dig into it and see what I can fix.

I'm a bit of an amateur here, but I have worked on some of the old projection big screens in the past so I'm willing to tinker. Especially since it seems that a repair shop will charge me...
