    Samsung 32" LN32C450E1D red light, but no power on.

    Initially when I got this TV, I thought maybe some caps were bad on the power board. I don't see any bulging or leakage of the caps on the power board so now I'm kind of wondering where to start. I searched through the forums to see if anyone else had the same problem, but I guess mine is different from the other postings.

    1. When plugged in, the standby light comes on.
    2. The TV will not power on by pressing the power button or using the remote.

    Thanks for the help gents. I've been messing around with TVs for a little while and I'm still only at the beginner level and that's usually replacing bad caps. I got lucky on one TV (a Sceptre 32") and fixed it by replacing the EEPROM chip.

    I took out the main board and noticed something strange. It almost looks like condensation had built up and ultimately effected the mainboard. I see a bunch of grayish traces running everywhere on the back of the mainboard. Looks kind of like light dust? I can wipe it off, but notice the river of gray bubbles. Anyone seen anything like that before?

      That is just no-clean flux residue.
      What DC voltage do you have right at the two legs of the main filter cap (big yellow cap laying on its side), it should have around 160VDC when TV is OFF and should jump up to >360VDC when power switch is activated.

        The voltage I'm getting is 380VDC that stays there for a brief moment then trickles down to ~320VDC and then shoots back up to 380VDC and the TV isn't turned on. I can't turn the TV on either via power button or remote.

          Voltage testing is right at the two legs of the cap, you are working in the primary side of the circuit so you cannot use chassis as the ground ref point, the primary circuit GND ref point is the negative leg of the main filter cap.
          It sounds like the PS_ON signal is going high and low.
          You will need to check the standby power supply first, and then the PS_ON signal, see the diagram I posted.

            My apologies, I caught the GND ref point in your "NOTE" on your troubleshooting post. The voltages I gave you were from using your negative lead on the filter cap as ref.
            As far as the standby power supply, I'm already lost in the schematic you sent me. Sigh.

              I checked the PS_ON signal and it's at 0.72VDC (TV off). Not sure where to start on the standby power supply on checking that.

                Re: Samsung 32" LN32C450E1D red light, but no power on.

                So when you hit the power button, does the PS_ON go up to more than 2.5V?
                5V Standby (B5V) is on the connector CN802 pin 11, 13, and 14 (see diagram page 2).
                You will use the chassis for the ground ref point because you are now testing the Voltage in the secondary side, make sure not to touch any on the board with your hands or body.

                  CN802 11, 13, and 14 measure at 1.83V. PS_ON does not go up to more than 2.5V when I press the power button. In fact, it just hops between .778V to .013V on its own. The power button has no effect. I will note that the input panel on the TV is "touch" not "press." The only way I get 11, 13, and 14 to read at ~5V is when I jump 16 (A5V) to 14. That's when all of them read 5V. Then when I jump GND to 14, then B5V's will read 1.83V again. I found that out by accident.

                    I took a shot in the dark on this one and ended up finding a youtube video on this power supply issue. I measured the voltage across CM852 and was only getting 9.42VDC when looking at the schematic, I should be getting 24VDC.

                    The youtube video that lead me to this is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASMOVbOZac0

                    Take a look at the highlighted schematics and tell me if my tracing is correct. I'm tracing it from the CM808 to CN803 pins 10,11,12,13, 14. All of the pins read 9.42VDC. (I used the chassis as ground ref since it's on the cold side thanks to your note once again)

                    The question: is CM808 bad? Thanks for being patient with me BUDM. I'm picking it all up pretty quick, but still have a lot to learn.

                      Cap CM808 (coupling/DC blocking cap for drving the 24V transformer) is the common failure, check its capacitance. you will need to remove it to check the capacitance, it is special kind of cap.

                        I just removed CM808 and it's open. Imagine that. Am I pulling the voltage from ICM801 then? Is that the voltage I'm seeing on CN803 pins 11-14?

                          Cap will show open circuit (using Ohm meter) if it is good, you need to check its CAPACITANCE.
                          When the capacitance drops, the transformer will not receive the correct drive voltage (< than what it should have) to drive the transformer.

                            Says 0nF . I only have the polarized capacitor symbol on my multimeter though. I'm sure that doesn't matter, right?

                              Correct, it is 0.018uF 630V High pulse withstanding cap.
                              They are hard to get, see if this one will fit your board:

                              I would go with higher voltage:

                                    Well, good job ad thanks for the repair feedback, another TV saved form landfill, now you can find more and spend <$5 for repair.
                                    I also would like to keep track on this cap to see how well it holds up compared to the original.

                                      Re: Samsung 32" LN32C450E1D red light, but no power on.

                                      Great thread. I have the same Samsung tv that exhibited the same problem. Having dealt with open or shorted electrolytics for years I was pretty confident the problem would be obvious when I took the back off the set. I was sad to see no puffy or leaking capacitors. I decided to remove all of the electrolytics and test them. All were good. One step closer to the dumpster.

                                      I decided to do a little more research and went on to the second page in my google search. I happened upon this forum which described my issue to a “T”. I remove CM808 and it measured 20pf. Open actually. Fortunately I had on hand .02uf @ 600 v and decided to give it a try. Presto, the set fires up and works like a charm.

                                      I likely should order a higher voltage cap in the future but for now I’ve managed to save the landfill one more tv for the sake of a $1 component.

                                      Thanks for the info and schematic. It made my day.

                                          Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                                          by PantherDave
                                          Hi all!

                                          I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                                          I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                                          hello, �� i have been sitting on some microsoft surface pro 4 tablets for a while now. i was originally tasked with replacing the battery in one of the tablets, and ended breaking the screen and logic board in the process. decided to buy another tablet with the same specs. got that screen off successfully of the second tablet. the logic board appeared good, but i guess i shorted something out in the installation process of the logic which i've read is a common issue if there is no barrier between the logic board and battery pins. all that said, i ate costs of the repair and have...

                                          LG 39ln540v - red light flashes twice, no power to LED driver?
                                          by russpall
                                          Hi there,

                                          I've got a 39" LG 39LN540V that's just spontaneously stopped working! The symptoms are - when I plug it in, the red light will flash on twice, then go out, there's no visible picture, and I couldn't see anything using a torch on the panel either. If I press the power button (either remote or on TV), the red light comes on continuously. If I press power again, the red light flashes twice.

                                          The TV is using a power board EAX64905301. I've attached a diagram of the power output, I've tested the voltages with a multimeter and I'm getting the following:
                                          ...

                                          Hi everyone and thanks in advance for any help I might get here

                                          My Samsung TV is about 4 years old. The exact model number is UE75MU7009TXZG.
                                          About half a year ago I started seeing occasional green frames pop up while watching movies. I mean literally green frames. Not the image turning green, but the entire screen turning green for a split second. This happened maybe once or twice during a 2 hour movie. So no big deal, but clearly something was not quite right.

                                          Since a few days, the TV won't turn...

                                          Saved this TV from the trash but it will not power on the red power indicator light blinks 6 times with no display. I've attached pics of the power board(1st pic) and mainboard(2nd pic). I don't see any blown caps on pb like I expected so what do y'all think is the issue?...
