    Brazilian Samsung LT27B350LB w/ BN44 00506A - blinking standby LED

    Hi all.

    Recently joined the forum as particularly keen to thoroughly learn about SMPS's.

    So, a friend asked if his 27" Samsung LED TV could be fixed.

    The problem being that it would switch off after a few minutes and leave a black screen with a blinking red standby LED.

    After finding one cap shorting out, all of the electrolytic caps were changed.

    With the TV still laying screen down, it was switched on and left playing music and videos for some five hours or so, at which point it was decided to replace the back cover and test again.
    What happened was that after reassembly, and back on it's 'feet', the TV then refused to switch on. Just a black screen with a standby LED which flashes twice, five times in a row.

    And this is where we are still at.

    The PSU is a BN44 00506A

    No voltages on the PSU output with the boards connected.

    If the cable between the power board and main board is disconnected, the backlights come on,
    At that same time, the output voltages from the PSU read as follows.

    Pins
    1, 12.4v
    2, 3.3v
    3, 12.4
    4, 2.3v
    5, 12.4v
    6, 4.7v
    7, 12.4v
    8, 0 v
    9, 0 v
    10, 0v
    11, 5.2v
    12, 5.2v
    13,5.2v
    14, 3.2v

    Nothing appears burnt, nor have I found anything shorted.

    The regulator chip is an STR W6053s.

    I am wondering if something in the PSU is failing under load or whether the main board is shorting somewhere?

    Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

    You did put the corrects screws back when replacing the feet ? I've seen on more than one occasion too long screws fitted which have damaged a PCB below.

      Hi,
      thanks for the response.


      All the rear cover screws were/are the same size.

      But I'll have close look

        Update.

        So, after rather aggressively wiggling the main board using the coaxial cable connector, the monitor has come back to life...

        Methinks the mainboard might need 10 minutes at 200°C...

        Not happening now, as it is close to midnight in Rio.

        Thanks for the pointer diif

          It's not a cake! Besides it's too cold to melt lead free solder.
          I'd double check the connections and wires, it's unlikely the BGA failed at the point of putting on the back, can we get a photo of it all.

            Enclosing more images of my cake...

            You can see the corrosion from the Brazilian humidity

              It seems more likely to me that one or more of the pins/terminals on the board has a dry joint, and as I am limited here tools-wise it may have to go in the oven.

                Update.

                Taking into consideration that the TV/Monitor was dead anyway..

                Wrapped the main board in tin foil and cooked it in a small pre-heated electric oven for just over ten minutes at just over 200 degrees C:

                Don't wish to jinx things, however the TV is now working fine.

                Nice clear image and sound with all inputs functioning.
