Re: Samsung LE40R88BDX Relay clicking and no screen

Well replaced the little eprom today and the tv sprung to life If we get any more problems Ill just replace the rest of the capacitors but fingers crossed its grafting now for good. PLEASE hehehehe.

Thanks for the info sabre504 it was a great help. My god that was a small part lol.

Re: Samsung LE40R88BDX Relay clicking and no screen

Tried alot of times with the resetting of the eprom, the clicking has now stopped and the tv switches on and off but still no screen, I read one guy that said it took him 25 goes, if all else fails it looks like it is a corrupt eprom.

Re: Samsung LE40R88BDX Relay clicking and no screen

So is this on the power board or the main PCB, Im no expert and do a little radio repair so soldering etc is not a problem but Im defo no expert but would try this if its worth a go, just need to locate it.

Re: Samsung LE40R88BDX Relay clicking and no screen

So is it a just buy and replace or does it need programming. Can you gave me an idea of how much it was please. I really appreciate the help here.

Re: Samsung LE40R88BDX Relay clicking and no screen

Thanks for the reply sabre504, its so frustrating when the cap change has worked for so many others GRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrr. Im hoping it is another cap that has not shown up as a blown one. Ive also read somewhere about an eprom reset but cant find it now, hoping someone can shine some light on this as well.

Re: My first ever PSU repair

Well done on the repair, nothing better than repairing something yourself. This forum has more to it than I first thought, i thought it was all about TV's looking forward to reading some more.

Hi there hope someone can help the above tv has got the same problems as everyone else's lol. The tv wont switch on at all a friend of mine had the same problem and just replaced the two caps that were swollen. Today I bought some caps and replaced the two that were swollen on mine, there values were exactly the same as the old ones but better make. Well couldn't wait to switch the set on and it didn't work, it always happens to me lol.

What should be my next move guys ,should I replace the rest of the caps that don't seem to have anything wrong with them, I checked the solder joints...
