General recommendations for LCD LED TV repair
Possible problems

- SAMSUNG UE65MU9000U TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote and the control panel buttons, LEDs are not lit or blinking.

With such manifestations the fault is likely to be found in the power supply module BN44-00912A. It is necessary to measure its output voltages and in case of their absence check the power switches (TO-220) and the rectifier diodes for possible short circuits in the converters.
If there is a breakdown in the secondary circuits, the inverter can usually be short-circuited, and if there is a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse usually blows.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in pulsed sources, sometimes caused by faults in other circuit elements, for example, in the circuits that feed the PWM controller, frequency-retaining or damping circuits, as well as in the negative feedback (negative feedback) stabilization circuits. PWM regulators (PFC) PFC, PWM, if they do not have visible case damage and outright short circuit between pins, are usually checked by replacement.

- No picture, sound is present, the remote control responds, the channels are switched. In some cases, the image appears when you turn on and immediately disappears.

Faulty usually in these cases is the backlight of the matrix (LED panel). Often the cause is a faulty LED (breakage, short circuit...), or connectors of the bars (strings), less often faulty is the LED-driver.
Without special power supply it is impossible to check the line of LEDs in series, and it is not safe to use any voltage sources over 12v for this purpose. Then you only have to open the panel and check each LED separately. Usually Chinese multimeters with 9V power supply will light up one 3 volt LED a bit if you connect the probes to it in forward direction, red probe to anode, black probe to cathode. For twin 6-volt LEDs the PN junction of its faulty regulator can be a good indicator. If the LED is faulty, its regulator will either be open or shorted.

- LED on the front panel is blinking, the TV set does not turn on in the working mode, the remote control is unresponsive.

Repair or diagnostic of the mother board BN41-02570A should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (firmware). Often the MB (SSB) board must be replaced if it has complex faults that are difficult to detect. If you try to repair, you should check its elements - CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC/DC and replace faulty chips with new ones. Some faults may be associated with the use of modern Main Board BGA soldering technology. Usually such defects are detected by local heating of the chip.

The One connect BN94-11965C tuner malfunction is detected after checking the software and all the supply voltages on its pins. The data exchange between the tuner and the processor via I2C can be checked with an oscilloscope.

If the SAMSUNG UE65MU9000U has no picture but has sound, often the CY-UM065FLAV1V display backlight simply does not work. Moreover, in LED TVs usually fail LEDs inside the panel, less often the LED-driver.
In such cases you can see faintly visible image when external light hits the screen.

To replace the LEDs requires disassembly of the LCD panel CY-UM065FLAV1V - a process which requires the master of experience and expertise. I do not recommend to perform such works by yourself to owners of TV sets and craftsmen who have no experience in LCD panel repair

If there is no image, but backlighting works - the screen becomes slightly lighter when the TV is switched on, and in the open TV you can see the light through the holes in the body of the panel.

In this case the panel may be defective - damage to the strips, cables, for example, as a consequence of moisture after an unsuccessful washing of the screen, the T-CON board (Timing Controller) may be defective. But quite often the MainBoard BN41-02570A is defective and so is the software.
Then first it is necessary to check the panel power supply voltage, fuses on the T-CON board, as well as the supply and reference voltages of the column and line drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If these measurements are within normal limits, it is necessary to trace by oscilloscope the LVDS signals from MainBoard BN41-02570A, as well as synchronizing signals to the driver stubs.

The LED TV screens that are flooded or poorly washed can be repaired in about half of the cases, usually if there is no significant damage to the cables and panel strips.

The owners of the UE65MU9000U TV set should address only to the qualified specialists with the necessary experience for the repair! The attempts of repair without proper knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!

MainBoard Appearance



The main features of the SAMSUNG UE65MU9000U:

A matrix (LED panel) CY-UM065FLAV1V is installed.
To power the LED backlight used converter, combined with the power supply, controlled by a PWM controller SOP-20. As the power elements of LED-driver are used switches type TO-252.
The power supply module BN44-00912A or its analogues with the use of PFC, PWM chips and TO-220-type power keys generates the necessary supply voltages for all the components of SAMSUNG UE65MU9000U TV.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a module BN41-02570A, using CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC/DC and other chips.
The One connect BN94-11965C tuner provides TV program reception and channel tuning.
