Re: Samsung LN32c450E1D troubleshooting

ok metered it out and have 2 rows of 9 pins each on the top row the pins are labeled b13v b13v b13v gnd gnd b5v b5v b13v b13v
row 2 first pin label to small to read second pin to small, 3rd pin e-??? (to small), hsyon (?) too small, gnd, gnd, b5v, a5v, ps_on (?)

All the 13v pins read 12.24, the 5v ones read 5.26, row2 pin 1 reads .01v, pin 2 reads 5.13,pin3 the e-??? reads .95v, pin 4 hsyon reads .003v, row 2 pin 9 ps_on reads .74v

One unexpected thing happened- I unplugged the connecting cable from the power...

Re: Samsung LN32c450E1D troubleshooting

Got the meter and will be testing the voltages this evening. So lets say that I test voltage at the connector and there is no voltage or very low voltage, does that mean the power converter is out? And do I need to order a whole main board or just replace the power converter(s)?

Re: Samsung LN32c450E1D troubleshooting

Tom66- I was looking through the service manuals you have posted, thank you! And I could not find one for a ln32c but the ln32b gives trouble shooting for a no power no red power light scenario. Will those diagnostic steps be the same for the C model?

Re: Samsung LN32c450E1D troubleshooting

Ok I'll pick one up today.

Re: Samsung LN32c450E1D troubleshooting

I have an analog meter but can read it pretty well. What voltages should I be looking for? And I won't be able to get them till tomorrow night. Do you think I benefit from changing the caps just incase?

Re: Samsung LN32c450E1D troubleshooting

The fuse is good. I'm kind of thinking either I just need a remote to turn the tv on and then troubleshoot from there or I need to just replace the caps because they are bad in spite of not looking like it......

I know these tvs are notorious for bad caps but I have opened it up and all the caps look normal. When the tv is plugged in there is nothing. No lights, no clicking sound. When I touch the power button on the front nothing happens. Any ideas or experience with this?

Thanks!
