Re: Samsung LE37S86BDX LCD TV (Popping noises, distorted image, turns on/off, video i



I just got the TV back from the repair shop. They couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Here is a picture of the back of the TV. (see attached). Sorry about the bad quality, didn't have a decent camera on me.

But anyways, this is something new that I haven't heard. You are talking about the tin thing with the holes where the flash of camera is reflecting in the picture? I don't have the TV next to me at the moment. Is this something I can screw off...

I actually took the power board to a repair shop. They measured all the capacitors and replaced the bad ones. So that should rule out the capacitors.

Someone suggested on another forum I should clean the ribbon cables that are connected to the tcon board. I'm not even sure how to do that.

I'm going to try all that you guys have mentioned and take a photo. Just a little worried using a hair dryer on the main board. Is there any glue anywhere I might...

Hi, thank you for the reply. If it's bad voltage/over voltage, what is the right course of action? "Make tv over voltage current" ? I'm not entirely sure what you mean. The TV has worked fine for years. Is it possible for it to suddenly have a bad voltage current?

Thanks!...

Thanks for the reply. I had the capacitors changed on the power board. A couple were blown and a few bulged so I originally figured that had to be the problem. But after changing them nothing changed.

Do you mean I should heat up the board to see if the TV works normally, as a one time test to see if it works temporarily or is that something that might permanently fix this problem?

I'll take a picture when I open it again.

Thanks....

Hi everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have a Samsung LE37S86BDX TV that was bought in 2007.

It makes really loud popping noises when I turn it on. The image appears and goes away, a few times. It has distorted lines across it. I thought this was all due to the infamous bad capacitors that Samsung used at that time. So I had them all replaced with new ones. But the problem remains and now I have no idea what it could be. After about 90 seconds the shit goes away and the TV works normally. If you turn it off and back on, it will work normally. But if you wait for...
