    Need help with Samsung T220

    Hello everyone,

    I recently came into the possession of a Samsung T220. It doesn't show any sign of life. I have already replaced all the caps with nichicon ones minus the 450v one. I also noticed I was only getting about 90-100v on the output of the bridge rectifier and replaced that as well.

    I still can't figure out what is wrong with it. When I plug it in on a bench, I get voltages everywhere. The fuses are not blown, and I don't see any standby light at all.

    Does anyone happen to have any insight with what I might be able to do?

      Here are the picture of the Power board

      Edit: I have changed caps, C301, 302, 112, 116, 113, 108, 119, 118, 107, 114. I have also changed bridge rectifier at D101 near the big capacitor.

      The 1000uf caps at C116, C113 were bulging before I changed them all.

      Also I have checked the fuses at F301 and F101 for continuity and get 0ohms across them.

        I get voltages everywhere
        So what you are saying the power supply is working? This does'nt really tell us much. What voltages are you getting on CN2 (pin number and voltage please)

            It does seem like the power supply is working, Check for 3.3v at CN102 pin 5 and see if you get a change in voltage on pins 2 or 3 when the power button is pressed, then check if that voltage changes on CN2 pin 11 or 12.

              CN102 is the DVI connector. Do you mean CN3, the control panel buttons connector?

                This test was done with all connectors in place.

                Assuming you meant CN3, not CN102 (DVI COnnector) I tested Pin 5 to GND and got 3.070V in the off state, and then 0.157V when I turned on the panel. I also wanted to point out that the transformer changed noises when I turned the panel off or on. It would almost go away, and then slowly get back to max volume.

                Next I tested CN2 Pins 11,12
                Pin-----Off-----On
                11-----3.070-----0.157
                12-----1.813-----0.000

                I notice that the voltages are different from my last readings to this one. Im guessing that change is because the tubes and buttons were now plugged in?

                  Yes I ment CN3, Pin 5 is 3,3 volts, that should not drop,
                  If pressing the power switch causes the 3.3v to drop there is either a short somewhere or the power supply can't supply enough current.

                  Check the +5v (pins5&6) and pin2 on on CN2 of the power supply, do those voltages drop when you turn on the monitor?

                    I just got all voltages for every pin on CN2,3 in on and off states

                    Pin On-----Off
                    CN2
                    1. 0.047-----3.649
                    2. 13.37-----13.86
                    3. GND-----GND
                    4. 0.000-----0.000 (GND)
                    5. 5.21-----5.21
                    6. 5.21-----5.21
                    7. 0.043-----0.165
                    8. 0.025-----0.810
                    9. 3.313-----3.313
                    10. 0.012-----2.198
                    11. 0.157-----3.069
                    12. 0.000-----1.813


                    CN3
                    1. GND-----GND
                    2. 0.000-----1.813
                    3. 0.157-----3.070
                    4. (-)0.001-----2.198
                    5. 3.311-----3.313


                    Pin 4 on CN3 started off around .1V but then quickly settled around 0.000 to -0.001ish. Same thing with Pin 12 on CN2

                      Re: Need help with Samsung T220

                      So the monitor IS turning on when the power button is pressed correct?
                      It seems like the monitor has a backlight fault. Do you have 13v on both sides of F301?
                      Pin 10 should be for the front led and with 2v there, it should be lit. The fack that it changes tells me that the main board its working, but I think you have your readings wrong, the first row is likely OFF, and the second row is ON

                        Ah shit. Ill need more hands for this. Will report back on voltage on CN3 while holding down the button.

                        Also the monitor does seem to "turn on" but nothing happens upfront. No LED no image without a backlight, no life at all.

                            Check that function/button board, I suspect you have an issue with the led. pin 4 I believe supplies the voltage for the led itself, and with 2v going to it, it should be on.
                            That said, I believe you have a problem with the backlight circuit and the power supply section and the main baord are working.

                              never knew an LED could cause the monitor to not work.

                              Also if I have an issue with the backlight circuit, shouldnt I still be able to get an image on the screen if I shine a light at it?

                                The led is NOT causing the monitor to not work, but you don't see the led come on so you think the monitor is not turning on, but it is.
                                By the way, the led on the front does not come on in standby, it comes on when the monitor is on.

                                Is the monitor connected to a computer? You can try the flashlight test but if there is no source, there will be no video. plus the monitor will likely time out and sleep.

                                    Does it have the schematic for the power supply/inverter? I already have a very similar service manual.

                                      Yeah i think its the same manual. Do you know what I should look at to determine the cause of the backlight circuit to not function?

                                      Also, I have plugged it into a computer and shined a light but could not see anything there. Could it possibly be the logic board?

                                        You can force the backlights on by disconnecting CN2 from the logic board and connect a 1k resistor between +5v (pin5or6) and BL_EN (pin 8)
                                        If you don't get the backlight, connect another 1k between +5v and pin 7 or try pin1
                                        This test will make sure the backlights are working and that the logic board is not sending the commands like it should.
                                        You measured .8 volts an pin 8 when the monitor was on and that is likely not enough voltage to turn on the backlights, it needs to be around 4volts
