My Samsung flat screen TV died.

I have a dead Samsung UN55H6400AFXZA... one year old... (already replaced) I would like to attempt to repair it then give it to family, or charity, or something. Seems a waste to simply take it to the dump. Bottom Line Up Front: I think its a logic issue of some kind. Starting with the TV unplugged... then plugging it in the STBY Light comes on. The remote will power it on, the Light blinks a time or two as usual... The SMART TV graphic appears as usual... then the screen goes dark (although with the room darkened the the back lighting can be seen) with no further video to be seen. The remote has no further effect... no menu, none of the remote buttons cause anything to change... cannot even turn the TV off. To turn it off it has to be unplugged. I am guessing that either a MAIN board or T-CON or the interconnecting cable are the issue. However, I am not totally confident in this assessment, and if it happens to be correct, then I am sure I don't know enough about the function of each of these parts to prioritize the likelihood of failure... can you advise?

You fail to give us model information and age of this unit.
If all else fails wallyworld has a 60" 1080 on sale for $395.00 at that price it might be cheaper than fixing yours.

Testimonial: "Thanks... but it already has a successor. It is a Samsung UN55H6400AFXZA... one year old... I would like to attempt to repair it then give it to family, or charity, or something."

    Thanks for reply, inspect power supply board for swollen caps, burnt components. if it looks ok could be main board, probably replace both. power supply around 30/40 bucks main board around 50.00.

SOURCE: TV does not turn on/red led flashes 7 times in front

this is common issue with this model and through your troubleshooting is tied to y main board. blinking led on logic main in normal operation. when replacing y main always good idea to replace y upper and lowe buffer boards as they complete a circuit and sometimes replacing one without other could cause additional failure on remaining boards

Check BL_ERR pin on back light inverter board, what is volt reading that you get before and after tv shuts down? Let me know to proceed.
Thanks.

BTW, I really enjoyed your quote * I don't trust the blinking anymore *

Hello
If cable box converter has damaged, there is no question about the main board of your TV. It has been damaged. Before replacing it, you have to check the power supply board also. If the TV has been pluged to power supply, surely there will be fault to it also. We can't predict the exact fault occurs during a lightning, because Trillions of volts are passes nearby. You have connected the TV with cable connection and to the home power supply too.
Just replace the main board first. If it does not hel you, replace the power board too. I hereby send picture of both boards.

Did you check the service manual troubleshooting guide yet. You can try disconnecting the power to the inverter board and see if it will stay on and have sound.

Main board is most likely but that is an educated guess--problem with all these is you can only check so many things and then have to guess and try a board.

The screen was hit by a toy and now stays black, can this be repaired?

The tv LCD screen panel itself it is dead,by force.Sorry,no not repairable.Only way to repair this tv,it is to replaced the whole LCD screen panel itself,not practical or possible because the LCD screen panel it is mission impossible to buy as a refurbish items,only can buy it from tvs manifacture itself only,but it 90% important to the tv and it functions and it is very limited production items,so they'll sell it to u,but the cost it is the same as a new tv.Buy a brand new tv it pretty cheap these day at Walmart stores.Tries buy another tv same make and model as ur old tv.Save the dead broken LCD screen panel old tv somewhere for later years,as refurbishes electronic PCB boards for ur new tv later uses.

White dots all over the screen

Hi,
White dots are due to bad DMD chip and qualified tv tech can replace required DMD chip in this tv to fix the picture issue.
Please contact nearest Samsung service center or local tv repair shop for repair estimate.
Thanks.
