In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

Samsung SUHD TV UE49KS9000T, UE55KS9000T, UE65KS9000T – troubleshooting, SMPS board voltages, software update and more

Samsung 49, 55, and 65 inch curved LCD TVs

Check list for initial operation
1. Check the various cable connections frst.
- Check to see if there is a burnt or damaged cable.
- Check to see if there is a disconnected or loose cable connection.
- Check to see if the cables are connected according to the connection diagram.
2. Check the power input to the Main Board.
3. How to distinguish if the problem is caused by Main Board or T-CON Board.
- No Video

If the problem is No Video but BLU is on and Indication LED is blinking repeatedly and faster than normal booting: Replace the T-CON Board.

TV POWER STANDBY
1. TV in Standby
√ Standby LED Indicator
2. If Not Lit:
√ AC 120Vac Line
3. If missing:
√ 120Vac Source and Power Cord
4. If OK:
√ Resistance on SMPS Fuse after frst removing AC power cord.
5. If fusses are open replace SMPS.
6. If fuses are OK:
√ Standby: A13V (Always On) to Main Board. Should all be approx. 9 VDC
7. If any missing remove the SMPS connector to Main Board .
√ Standby A13V again for 9VDC.
- If OK replace Main Board.

- If still missing replace SMPS.

FUNCTION/IR Control

TV in Standby
√ LED Status
2. If LED is OFF
√ LED 1.7Vdc (pin 8) and VCC for 3.3Vdc (pin 3)
• If missing suspect Function Assy/Cable Assy/Main Assy.
3. If LED is ON
√ Switch Operation activates on screen display.

- If missing:
√ Key _Input1 Pin 6 change to 0V with a command.
- If wrong voltage or no change:
√ Switch for stuck or miss-operation.

- If no pin voltages replace SMPS.
3. If BACKLIGHTS ON BUT PANEL SECTION(S) OFF
√ The Supply Drive + pins. All should measure same.
- If a + pin measures higher voltage, a string(s) of LEDs are likely open.
- Remove Panel connector and verify same open backlight voltage condition. Replace Panel.
4. If a + pin measures low voltage disconnect connector to panel
√ The Low Plus Pin Voltage again.
- If it stays low the SMPS is defective, if it goes high, defective Panel.

For BACKLIGHT DIMMING PROBLEMS:
• Go to Menu > Picture > Backlight and vary level (0 – 20)
• If no backlight changes observed:
√ Panel Connector minus (-) pin voltages and P-DIM voltages (CNL801) while changing backlight level.
• If minus Panel voltages don’t change, and P-DIM changes, replace SMPS.
