General advice about LCD LED TV repair
Possible problems

- SAMSUNG UE55J5500AU TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote and control panel buttons, does not shine or blink indicators.

In this case the main switching power supply (PMS) BN44-00704E is most likely defective. Make sure there are no output voltages and if not check the power switches (MMF60R360P, MMD50R380) and rectifier diodes for possible short circuits.
At breakdown of semiconductors in the secondary circuits of any converter, as a rule, it can work in the short-circuit emergency mode without output voltages, and at short circuit in the primary circuit elements the mains fuse and more rarely the current sensor at the source of the key most often break down at once.
Breakdown of Mos-Fet switches, used in pulse sources, is often caused by failure of other elements, for example, in PWM regulator supply circuit, in frequency-retaining or damping circuits, as well as in the Negative Feedback Stabilization. PWM chips FA5695N, PWM FA6A20N are usually checked by replacement with new or known good ones.

- No picture, but there is sound and reaction to the remote control. Or the image may appear for a second right after turning on.

In these cases the defect in the backlighting of the LED panel is the most probable. Often the cause of the malfunction is the lack of current in the circuit of the LEDs, for example, their breakage or short circuit, or violation of the contact connections of the connectors 2014SVS55_3228_R05_REV1.1_140111, 2014SVS55_3228_L07_REV1.1_140111.
To test LED strips to open all LED junctions, several tens of volts or more are needed, it is best to use a current source for such purposes. Breakage of several PN-junctions connected in series cannot be detected with a multimeter or a tester. In such cases, you need to open the panel and check each LED. If your multimeter can't open the transitions of the LEDs in forward bias, you can sometimes detect the PN junction of a protective stabilizer by connecting the probes in the opposite direction. If the regulator is open or broken in K/Z, then the LED is faulty and needs to be replaced.


If the SAMSUNG UE55J5500AU has no picture but there is sound, often the display backlight of the T550HVF07.0 simply does not work. Moreover, in LED TVs usually fail the LEDs inside the panel, less often the LED-driver.
In such cases you can see a faintly visible image when external light hits the screen.

To replace the LEDs requires disassembly of the LCD panel T550HVF07.0 - the process requiring the master of experience and skill. We do not recommend to make such repairs by yourself to owners of TV sets and craftsmen without any experience in LCD panel repair

READ HOW TO REPAIR THE TV LED BACKLIGHT --------------> HERE.


If there is no image, but backlighting works - the screen becomes a little lighter when turned 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 BN41-02353B 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 BN41-02353B, as well as synchronizing signals to driver stubs.

Filled or unsuccessfully washed LED TV screens can be restored in about half of the cases, usually, if there is no significant damage in the cables and panel bars.
- TV does not go into operating mode, remote control does not respond. Front panel LED is either on all the time or is blinking.

Repair or diagnostic of the motherboard BN41-02353B should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microchips and matrix. If necessary, software (software) should be updated or replaced. Complex repair of MB (SSB) is possible only in the conditions of the service center with the necessary equipment. Check or replacement of elements CPU: SDP1415, EMMC: THGBMBG5D1KBAIT, RAM: K4B4G16460-BCMA requires the necessary training and professional skills to repair modules at the component level. Problems associated with the use of BGA soldering technology can sometimes be diagnosed by the heating method.

If you cannot tune to the on-air or cable TV channels make sure that the software is correct, and also that the supply voltages on the tuner BN40-00318B outputs correspond to the nominal ones. Also it is necessary to supervise with the help of an oscilloscope the presence of the tuner data exchange pulses with a processor via the I2C bus.

Warning. Users and owners of TV sets UE55J5500AU, not having the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience, strongly advise against trying to repair yourself to avoid the negative consequences that can lead to total unrepairable device.

Appearance of the power supply

The main features of the device SAMSUNG UE55J5500AU:

A matrix (LED panel) T55HVF07.0 GJ055BGA-B1 is installed.
The matrix is controlled by the Timing Controller (T-CON) T550HVN08.3.
A converter combined with a power supply is used to power the backlight LEDs and is controlled by the SLC7014X PWM controller. FDPF3N50NZ type switches are used as power elements of LED-driver.
Required supply voltages for all SAMSUNG UE55J5500AU components are generated by the power supply module BN44-00704E or its analogues using FA5695N, PWM FA6A20N chips and power switches like MMF60R360P, MMD50R380.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a module BN41-02353B, with the use of chips CPU: SDP1415, EMMC: THGBMBG5D1KBAIT, RAM: K4B4G16460-BCMA and others.
The BN40-00318B tuner allows you to receive TV programs and tune to channels.
