General discussion

power on ,no sound ,no picture

Sep 17, 2018 1:02AM PDT

I have a Samsung TV set. When it's turned on, the lights are on, but no picture and no sound. I asked abctay. They told me it might be a power board fault. You can buy a power board and try to replace it. Is that possible?

It's possible but do you want to know for sure?

Then you get the service manual and check the voltages. Many models are at www.samsungparts.com and run about 12 dollars. Basic electronic tech skills required.

How?

How can basic electronic skills be unuseful? I've been in electrical and electronic repair, design and more since about 1970's and can't imagine what my life would have been if I didn't have these skills.

If you want to shotgun the repair, sure. Do that.
