What is the chip number?
Personally, I wouldn’t touch Samsung with a barge pole. There was a class action lawsuit against Samsung in the United States for charging customers for known premature failures. I used to own a short term rental in Florida and had 5 Samsung TV”s in 4 bedrooms and one in the lounge. 3 out of the 5 tv”s failed within 3 years. They sell with high specifications but assembled with the cheapest components. I vowed then never to buy another Samsung product and 8 years on, I am still true to my word and telling everyone that will listen about my experience.
We used to check the parallel diodes with a micro ohm meter, as the boss was to tight to replace all the diodes, the lowest reading was the shorted diode. funny I still do that today ,despite I'd change the lot if that was the cause.
What's the odd 100uF capacitor with the metal clipped in base?
Another example of why the recent models from most brands are made down to a price.
My advice is buy a new TV from a retailer that includes a 5 or 6 year warranty, and if the
set lasts that long, just keep your fingers crossed that it will last a few more years.
How many of these entry level sets will go straight to recycling when they fail ?
Well done on replacing SMT IC with soldering iron Allen, love the content. I've done main board swaps and power supply capacitors on some tvs myself. Need to tackle a backlight next😀.
Thank you Allen very much indeed.
Nice fix. So Samsung admitted faulty firmware. Had a JVC LT-50E73 that was dead. Could not find the fault. By chance I got hold of more of the same model. Hoping to swap parts. Different fault on all of them. No luck. The "experts" all had different solutions to no help. Finally found firmware online that JVC said worked via USB. No luck. Last attempt was to connect the mainboard to PC via a CH341A. Flashed new firmware on all the mainboards. The result was 5 working TV´s. 😀
keep em coming Allen love em
Is it a board issue,it might be a stuck closed remote button, try taking the batteries OUT of the remote before going down the rabbit hole of it beefing the main board.
100% firmware very common fault, remove 8 pin EPROM read info post on bad caps and someone there will fix the code, when done reprogram chip and replace on board job done 😊
Love your videos, as a hobbyist vintage computer repairer (ZX Spectrum, Amiga etc,) your knowledge and walkthroughs are great and no doubt are a valuable source of reference for repair for years to come.
