Re: Samsung ue32f5000 weird issue after led strip repair

Thanks, and I would appreciate if we kept this between us...

Hello, I would like to report an issue I have with a Samsung UE32F5000.

When I received the TV it had no picture. Shining a flashlight on the panel I saw a message on the screen indicating TV was alive but it had no backlight. The power supply was measuring OK so I disassembled the TV and found out two leds were burned on a led strip.

Since the particular led strip was in bad shape (it had a nasty burn mark near the power connector) I ordered a new strip from ebay and installed it. Now, on this particular set, if you disconnect the motherboard power cable and give power...

Hello, my name is George and I am from Greece. I work as a computer programmer but I recently started repairing televisions and phones as a means to increase my income. I have worked in a tv and hi-fi repair shop during the 90's. Now, trying to adapt to the new standards. Badcaps is a great source of knowledge and I hope to be able to both help and be helped in the future.
