Re: Samsung 215TW Testing Questions

Fantastic, I'll check them out.

While waiting for you I did some trouble shooting by swapping parts. I have two of these I am trying to make one out of I hope or better.

Attached are pics of a duplicate board that hums. Also note the caps in between the transformers are supposed to be 13mm in Dia but the supplier sent me 10mm. Problem?

I did not post the actual board because its still assembled but it is the same part number.
The purpose here is hopes for you to help me with the test pins locations, and to show you a second board and ask about the 10mm vs. 13mm.

Let me know...

Hi Guys, I have searched and read but I am not a seasoned technician but do have a Fluke multi-meter and can solder fairly.

I have two displays both being the non REV.02 powered units.

I want to state my symptoms and ask a couple if I can.

The display turns on for a second and blackens out. I replaced all the caps and they were not bulged. I have done this operation on another display having bulged caps with success. What next?

Another display that flickered and blacked out I changed the caps and it seemed fine until I went to adjust...
