Re: Samsung UN50H6201 panel problem, half screen



Can you show me what you mean by side tabs and tape cutoff method. I googled it but did not see anything relevant. On my TV there is basically a cable from the main to the t-con, two from the t-con to individual driver / tab boards and a bunch from the tab boards to the panel. All the tabs (and by that I'm assuming you mean the actual bonds of the ribbons to the panel) run along the bottom....

Re: Samsung UN50H6201 panel problem, half screen

I haven't had time to work on the TV this summer. I'm thinking about listing it for free to see if someone wants it. Just to confirm I did check the tab bonding boards for capacitor shorts but didn't find any. I took pictures of the TV which are attached.

They show when only the ribbon for the tab bonding board on the right side of the screen (left in the pictures) is connected. (Otherwise the TV is all black and the VREF light on the T-Con does not come on.) Note also I was testing a different main board (UN50J) when...

Re: Samsung UN50H6201 panel problem, half screen



I checked the boards that the ribbons from the tcon goes into. There are two boards, one for each side of the screen. They are hidden under the bezel. They have the ribbons going into the LCD. In the pic I posted they would be at the very bottom.

I don't suppose anyone has the service manual for this model? I will take a picture of the boards and the screen and post it when I have a chance. Thanks for all the suggestions so far....

Re: Samsung UN50H6201 panel problem, half screen

Ok. I've checked the board twice for shorted capacitors and can't find any. Do you have any other ideas?

I have a Samsung UN50H6201 that stopped working for no obvious reason. There is backlight but no picture. I replaced the power and tcon boards since it cost me less than $20. (Please spare me your lecture on "throwing parts".)

The replacement tcon board the three lights came on, as normal. When I looked at the screen it was operable but there were many lines in it near the center. A minute later the VREF light on the tcon board then went out and it went back to backlight and black and no picture. So I obviously blew something on the tcon board but I can't figure out what....

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I have some salvage TVs that I am working on and it looks like this site will be helpful. The website requires me to make this post so that I can then start a thread with my question (I think).
