Samsung UN40EH5000FXZA UF04 Service settings

[SolderMaster]

Replaced a main in this set and I'm not quite sure what the settings in the service menu need to be.

When powering on, it gives the message to set the Local, Type, and Front Color.

I also notice while in service mode, the failures in the attached photos.

Hopefully someone can tell me what the settings should be.

I've looked online and couldn't find much about the actual settings.

Can you do a firmware update to resolve the problem?

Did you try factory reset?

Re: Samsung UN40EH5000FXZA UF04 Service settings

Firmware is the same as what was downloaded from the Samsung site.

Yes, tried factory reset. Was able to set language, time zone, etc.

When hooking up a video source, Blu-Ray player, it will show the Blu-Ray symbol as the player boots up, then the screen shuts down. Not off, but the backlights go out and nothing appears on screen. EDID and HDCP both show FAIL after factory reset.

Also, forgot to mention, replaced all three LED strips. Shopjimmy.

Does tv work right when hooked up to antenna or cable?

Yes...sorta.

We don't have a digital tuner box in the basement so I hooked up an Atari... picture is fine through the coax connector.

Post #2 might be helpful, seems like he went into EDID sub menu and turned it on. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/166-lc...menu-work.html

Most articles say always reapply firmware whenever mainboard change.

Always be careful when changing things in service menu, make note of original settings, could also be a bad mainboard as in hardware failure instead of a software issue.

Can you force an overwrite somehow? After the set scans for the USB, it says Same Version, Please check and try again.

I think this is what you need to follow, look at the part about mainboard replace and reset,
make note of your settings before so if you have to you can put them back in, read it carefully go step by step.

Sorry, got busy with my day job.

I removed the back to make sure this was the set I replaced the main on...and it isn't. (I had 4 sets apart at once and confused the main repair)

This set I replaced the EEPROM on. This set also had the backlights replaced. I will pick up a whole main board and throw it in there to see if that gets her goin'.

Again, sorry for the delay in responding. I rewind electric motors by day and we got pretty busy.

I really appreciate your responces. Thank you all!

Re: Samsung UN40EH5000FXZA UF04 Service settings

New main did the trick. Checked the service menu and both EDID and HDCP had SUCCESS after it. Did a factory reset and all is well again.

Thank you all for your help!!

Re: Samsung UN40EH5000FXZA UF04 Service settings

Thanks for feedback, so looks like the service menu settings didn't help with the edid and hdcp giving failure report, needed mainboard for the fix, thought that mainboard was buggered up, glad you got it sorted.
