General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible malfunctions
- SAMSUNG UE55NU7090U does not turn on, does not respond to buttons and the remote control, indicators on the front panel do not light or flash.
In such cases, the BN44-00932C power supply usually fails. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and in the case of their absence (full or partial), the serviceability of the power switches (TO-220) of the converters and rectifier diodes should be checked for a possible short circuit.
In case of any breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually operate normally in an emergency short circuit mode. There are no output voltages. And with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, as a rule, the mains fuse breaks and, less often, the current sensor in the source of the key.
Mos-Fet power switches used in switching power supplies sometimes fail due to a malfunction of any other elements that can disable it in the key mode, or create an excess of the maximum permissible key parameters. These can be elements supplying a PWM regulator, frequency setting or damper circuits, or elements of negative feedback in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers PFC, PWM, in the absence of visible damage or outright short circuits between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with new ones, or knowingly working properly.
- There is no image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control, the channels are switched. In some cases, the image appears when turned on and disappears immediately.
Most likely in these cases is a malfunction of the LED panel backlight. The reason can sometimes be in the power supply of the LEDs, but more often in their malfunction (breakdown or breakage), sometimes in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips.
When trying to detect a break in the LED lines, you should take into account that it is difficult to do this without disassembling the panel. For example, a current source is needed to open PN junctions connected in series.
- The TV does not turn on, the indicator signals the standby or operating mode, or blinks.

Repair or diagnostics of the BN41-02662A motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters required to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Repair of the board and replacement of Audio: TAS5745 microcircuits are made if the necessary equipment and the corresponding element base are available. Failures associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can be localized by warming up.

Before changing the BN40-00331B tuner, if it is not possible to tune to TV channels, you should make sure that there are supply voltages, which must be measured at the corresponding tuner terminals and check the software for correctness. The pulses of data exchange between the tuner and the processor can be monitored with an oscilloscope
I remind users again! Attempts to self-repair the SAMSUNG UE55NU7090U TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!


Additional MainBoard Repair

Main features of the SAMSUNG UE55NU7090U device:
Installed matrix (LED panel) CY-NN055HGLVCH.
A converter combined with a power supply is used to power the backlight LEDs. TO-252 switches are used as power elements of the LED driver.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SAMSUNG UE55NU7090U TV is carried out by the BN44-00932C power module, or its analogs using PFC, PWM microcircuits and TO-220 power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a BN41-02662A module, using Audio chips: TAS5745 and others.
The BN40-00331B tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.

Attention! Panel CY-NN055HGLVCH of LED TV SAMSUNG UE55NU7090U is an expensive and unreliable element.
Do not allow any impact on the glass and pressure on the screen surface to avoid damage to the LED panel!
It is also unsafe for liquid to spill onto the screen. Sometimes one drop is enough if it drips down the glass onto the cables to make the TV unrepairable.
