The picture on my Samsung Ln-4671F has become noticeably darker. Most things I watch are fine, but if I watch something that is particularly dark, the image is almost unseeable.

A little information on my TV: I replaced bad caps over 3 years ago. About a year ago I noticed a red vertical line about 6" in from the left of the screen. It disappeared shortly after, reappeared a few weeks later, and gone ever since.

Could the darkening be a problem in power getting to bulbs or do the bulbs need to be replaced?(can they be?)

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!...

Sorry for the slow reply! Unfortunately, i'm not certain how do what you asked. I have a multimeter, if that can be used.

I have continued doing as much googling as humanly possible. No one has sorted this problem out.

I tried adding 5V parallel into the 5V standby- a solution I found via flickr, but nothing!

I did find this thread interesting

Symptoms seem same...

Re: Olevia 537-B11

First thanks selldoor and netdent for your replies!

A friend of mine passed away, he was a TV technician, I inherited his tools. I included a pic of some of the gear I have.

I am a novice for sure. I've replaced Caps on power boards and i've soldered pico fuses over surfaces fuses on inverter/ T-Conn boards.

I've taken some pictures, but I was in a bit of a rush, so I apologize for quality or lack of reason to them. I will take more!

I am happy to update my profile ASAP

again, thank you...

Re: Olevia 537-B11

Shined a light on it. No luck.

I believe the blue light indicates it has power, but is off. It never powers on.

Re: Olevia 537-B11

Yes I do! They stay on though.

I have read elsewhere that it could be a faulty IC Switcher.

Can anyone help me locate and test mine? (board, description, ohms or voltage?)

I can post pictures if that would be helpful.

Hey Guys, this is my first thread. If i posted it in the wrong place or it's already been answered, I apologize.

I have an Olevia 537-b11. It has a blue power light but no picture. I haven't noticed any flashing.

I checked Power Board for Caps, all are fine.

I've seen many threads about this exact problem, but no one had an answer. Could it be something as simple as a surface fuse?
