Re: Samsung 930b LCD cold start problem (inverter?)

Ok thanks all for the feedback. I knew the incorrect voltage caps were not a good idea, but I figured it was mostly for the reason that they would burn out very quickly as opposed to not working at all. If I can get this working, I will absolutely change them. I will check again for the fuse, I tried to look in that area but could not see the code f301, however that section had a lot of glue on it, so I'll look closer. Thanks again for the responses.

Re: Samsung 930b LCD cold start problem (inverter?)

I had a similar problem with my Samsung 930B as well. Before doing any work neither the lcd or the backlight was working. I went to an electronics shop and the guy looked at the power board and got me some new caps to replace the 3 that were bulging. I didn't check that they exactly matched the old ones.

After soldering them on though, I noticed that the voltage was not the same on the new ones (old caps 820 mcf/25V, new 820 mcf/16V). However now the LCD works but the backlight still does not. Anyone have any ideas?...
