Previous owner said it was difficult to turn on. Originally suspected backlights but they come on with the main board disconnected. Suspected EEPROM next and freezing it gets the TV to turn on. However backlight is dim in TV mode but fine in smart hub and media player (backlight set to same level). Didn't check HDMI inputs yet.
Would like to fix this TV but can't find any reasonably priced main boards and unsure with the backlight issue. Was going to plug it in to check for a firmware update but this model doesn't even have an ethernet port. Internet is only available through a wifi dongle. So much for smart features since YouTube is only supported on Samsung F model years and newer.
