Re: Ex Serviceman Needs Help

I did overlook that, yes there are quite few components underneath the board, I avoided them when I was retouching the solder joints, I had thought that if any of these very small components require changing I could not do it with the iron I have and I would almost require a microscope
It will take me some time to take the board out again being as I have put it all together for using and let my daughter have it
I will get the voltage for you though in due course

Dick there is no ICP801 on this board
There is only one IC and the number is ICM801
There are only six pins and the pin no's are not shown

Re: Ex Serviceman Needs Help

Hi Folks,
Thankyou all for the suggestions about repairing my TV
I looked very closely at the circuit board and found what looked like dry joints
I heated them up with the soldering iron to remelt the joints and after that the TV came on working again like magic
All the good suggestions prompted me to take time and look it over and it paid off
Thankyou all again

After 15 years retired and never having serviced a flat screen Tv I am hoping someone might help me to repair my own TV
Its a Samsung La40C 550 Jif
The power board is well known[B] Code BN44-00340B[/B]
The Tv has sound and the picture can be seen with a flashlight but the backlights are off
The voltage on the two big yellow caps is 322volts across its two leads, same for each of them which I think is probably a bit low
The voltage doesn't change if I unplug the Tv main board
No appearance of hot spots anywhere on the board
I would buy another power...
