Main features of the SAMSUNG LE40F71B device:
Installed matrix (LCD-panel) LTA400HS-LH1.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) 400HSC4LV0.8.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SAMSUNG LE40F71B TV are generated by the BN44-00140A power module or its analogs using ICE1PCS02, ICE2BS01, DM0565R microchips and power switches of the 06N80C3, 20N60C3 type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a BN41-00762B module.
The tuner BN40-00083A provides the reception of television programs and tuning to channels.

 SAMSUNG LE40F71B signal absence is often caused by malfunction of the display backlight. Moreover, the problem can be both inside the LCD panel (matrix) LTA400HS-LH1, for example, a malfunction of CCFL (EEFL) lamps, and outside in their power source - an inverter.
Without backlighting, sometimes you can see a barely noticeable image with a certain successful hit of external light on the screen.
Often, repairing the backlight requires disassembling the LTA400HS-LH1 LCD panel - a painstaking process that requires special attention and accuracy from the technician. In such cases, there is a possibility, with the slightest negligence, to damage the glass or loops and the TV may become unrepairable.
We strongly do not recommend doing such work to owners of TVs and craftsmen who do not have experience in repairing LCD panels! Moreover, at home (at the owner's home).
If there is no image in the presence of backlight, the screen becomes slightly lighter when turned on, and if the TV is open, the light from the lamps can be seen through the holes in the panel case.
In this case, there may be a malfunction inside the panel, damage to strips, loops, the T-CON board (Timing Controller) may be defective. But the main board MainBoard BN41-00762B often turns out to be faulty, a software failure is also possible.
In such cases, the master first of all needs to check the main supply voltage of the panel at the LVDS connector, the fuses on the T-CON board or the panel brackets, as well as the supply and reference voltages for the line and column drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If all of the above measurements are within normal limits, then the oscilloscope must track the passage of LVDS signals from the MainBoard BN41-00762B, as well as synchronizing signals from T-CON to loops with drivers.

 Owners and users of SAMSUNG LE40F71B   TV should remember that self-repair without special knowledge, skills and qualifications may be fraught with negative consequences that can lead to complete non-repairability of the device!
