Re: The Dreaded Clicking Sound And No Power On Samsung pn59d530a3fxza

I bought a power supply board off eBay for $40 that was being sold as possibly working but untested. When it didn't fix the problem I gave up and sold the TV for $50 on craigslist.

Re: Difference Between BN44-00445a and BN44-00445c Power Supply

Ah. I was thinking I could go ahead and use the BN44-00445a as a replacement and keep the BN44-00445c for spare parts.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a BN44-00445a and BN44-00445c power supply board? From the pictures I've seen they appear to be identical. I have a Samsung 59" plasma pn59d530a3fxza that needs a new one. The bad one is a BN44-00445c but is proving to be hard to find where the BN44-00445a is more readily available.

Does anyone know what the difference is or if it would work?

Rodeo9ine can you post pics? The capacitors should be bulging or leaking if they're bad. On ebay the BN44-0045C boards don't last long. I did find them on another site but if ljintexas has one I'm going to grab it from him.

Budm, I just moved and haven't been able to find my multimeter. As soon as I do I'll post the results. LJintexas, that sounds reasonable. Thanks!

About a week ago I picked up a Samsung 59 inch plasma that someone was throwing away. The model number is pn59d530a3fxza. When I attempt to power it on the red indicator blinks and it makes clicking noises. I know that Samsung had an issue several years ago with bad capacitors causing this problem. Please bear with me, I have very little experience troubleshooting at the component level. I did not find any bulging or leaking capacitors but it appears that one of the transformers is damaged. My problem is that I can't find any information with what I believe to be the correct part number. The power...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello all! My name is Mike and I'm from Lakeland, Florida. About a week ago I pulled a Samsung plasma TV out of someone's garbage and decided to see if I could fix it. I have about 18 years of IT experience but very little of that is at the component level. I came across this forum while troubleshooting and hope that someone here might be able to steer me in the right direction. With any luck I'll have a more detailed post up soon. Thanks!
