  • thumbs up if 8.37m scared you too

  • 8.37m you scared the hell out of me because i kept thinking...what if he dropped the tv as it seems to be heavy.

  • If its the inverter, is there a way to determine if it's the left or right one?

  • Hi. I just did this for my 40" (lns4092) but it didn't work. Still sound but no pix. What part number now??

  • anyone can do this ....even i guy with one arm hilarious!!

  • if you have sound and no video then its the inverter, thats how i fix my sons tv cost 25 pounds ,great for a 600 quid tv

  • I have to commend you on this video! Bought the t-conn part for $98 on ebay and purchased 2 grounding bands ($3.99 each) from Amazon. My husband and I followed the video diligently.There was only one part that seemed to be missing - removing the tiny screws off the plate (located on top of the t-conn board). Once we figured it out, we continued. Hardest part was the small screw on the side. Changed the board, put the screws back on and.... THE TV WORKED PERFECTLY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

  • Did This Tv Fall Or What. Because I Have One That Fell That I'm trying To Fix Now

  • Hey, my westinghouse had this similar problem. I replaced the tcon but it didnt fix the problem. You can tell the backlight is on but no pic, jus sound.

  • I've got a similar problem, my screen is half darkish plus there's a green line going up on the left... the brightness, contrast, sharpness is at full! Please take a look at the video of my 46inch Samsung please, it's in one of my uploaded videos. Thanks, any help appreciated & God bless u all, happy 2012!!

  • Samsung is bad quality and the resellers are also of bad quality . I had purchased one lcd tv was broken,took it back and after a serious fight, they gave me another not perfect and never watched tv again .pc or mac best solution for me,hope apple produces the tv set they are planning bad business should be getting "broken knees".

  • Please i have a problem with my LCD Samsung, i have a ghosting effect when i play with my Xbox, so this problem have fix?

  • 15 people work for Samsung!

  • Nice house. What do u do for a living?

  • At 1:26 someone let's out a huge fart. The only reason I knew was because of the sub woofers hooked to his computer.

  • @PhattyMo Do you really need a grounding strap for this? With such high voltage able to run through a TV aren't you better off just wearing rubber gloves and waiting a few hours after you unplug before you begin making the repair?

  • @MissSamanthaRex If you're careful about static charges you can get away without a ground strap for a lot of electronics work..It's still a good idea to use one though. My previous comment about adding a high-value resistor was for exactly the reason you mention. If you DO happen to come across some kind of voltage while working on the set,the resistor would limit the amount of current that can flow,thus keeping you (relatively) safe.

    That said,LCD's are mostly low voltage.

  • I have a Samsung ln s4692d tv. I have great video but in order to have the audio work I have to leave the tv on for about 15 minutes and then turn the tv off and right back on and usually the audio comes on then. Please msg me what the issue may be as it's driving me batty? Thanks for any help.

  • I have a problem with a samsung 943nw bur mine is vga for pc. It shows a white screen when I turn it on, all white, like only the blacklight is on. Do you know what could be the problem?

  • How do you know if a T-Con card is bad? Besides a faulty TV, is there a way to test that the T-Con card is the problem. Some people on youtube and the web are calling it a logic board but I believe the main board is also called a main logic board although printing on a Westinghouse main is just called "MAIN BD" adding to confusion. My Westinghouse has no pic but sound is on, there is no blown anything on either card as far as I can see.

  • Hi i really need some help i have a samsung 52inch and it needs a new tcon board i was just wondering if you would know witch tcon board would i have to get to go into a 52inch as im not sure if any would be ok to use ? Thanks again and i will subscribe

  • How can you call them dishonest when the fu*king thing is two years old. When you buy a $3,500 TV you HAVE get an extended warranty. Did you have one? If I was Samsung I would have told you fuc* off too!

  • I've got samsung 46inch, it's got a green line going up on the left side abt an inch thick & it seems like half the screen is darkish while the other is ok. Why's this & how do I fix it?

  • Samsung is a piece of shit. Bought one product from them and never again. Go fuk yourself Samsung.

  • One simple solution. Don´t buy Samsung again. Their quality is just crap no matter how expensive the product are. Samsung spend more money into design rather then to actual quality. Behind the nice look you will find the cheapest crap electronics that will last no more than three years at top.

  • .....THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS BOARD BUT THAT SQUARE COPPER ON THE CORNERS...YOU JUST NEED TO CLEAN AND TIGHTEN THE SCREWS FIRMLY .. THATS IT. DONT SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON A NEW BOARD!

  • i need help to anybody that can help me

    my Digitstar LCD TV wont turn off after i turn it on and when its on it has a black screen then, like i said i can't turn it off and i don't know whats happen to my TV if anybody and i mean anybody please help me!!!

  • how long was your warranty????

  • My Samsung has sounds but the screen was entirely back. I replaced the T-Con card, I can now see the bright screen but only on 1 side, and the screen is super white with many vertical strips. Do you have any idea what is still wrong with the TV?

  • I have a Philips 52 inch lcd. The screen is "glows" black and I still have sound. Is that the issue you were having? Looking for a cost effective fix.

  • @TylerBeatty95

    There aren't many forms of recourse for a cracked screen.

    1. Buy a new replacement panel, whose cost will likely be higher than the price your broken HDTV sold for when it was brand spankin' new.

    2. Find a used intact panel of the same type used in your HDTV, which you may not be able to find unless you're patient, lucky or both.

    3. Buy a replacement HDTV. This is perhaps the most prudent way to go.

  • LCD Tvs are the same as HDTV's? Right? I have the same problem with my HDTV

  • Thanks man, very clear instructions. Replaced the PCB in in my TV (especially appreciate the hint with topmost screw), it works now. Will never buy anything Samsung ever again.

  • LMAO i'm sorry but I just could help hearing this guy let one rip hella loud as he was talking. Is it just me or he farded at 1: 37?

  • thanks for your help........

  • do you think this same solution will work on my samsung plasma that just has a plain white screen when it turns on?

  • I just bought a card for 50 bucks on eBay. I can't believe it was that easy to install. Thanks Dishonest Apparel! You saved me a couple thou on a new tv!

  • I purchased the T-Con board from Parts Store.com:

    Samsung T-Con Board, part# BN81-01286A

    Replaced the board per the video instructions and the TV works like a champ! Thanks Dishonest Apparel for the help. Samsung sucks.

  • valuable information and very usefull , Thnks so much for share this one with us

  • my tv have the same problem...samsung 46 lcd LN4A630..only sound and the screen is dark...i have this tv for 13 months...can anyone tell me how to fix it..please....this company suckssss!!!...SAMSUNG THE WORST>>>>>>

  • @arturo090974 More than likely it has to do with a problem with the inverter board. Many of them are made by Darfon. Take a flashlight and shine it to the tv, if you can see the picture, it is probably the inverter board or the lamps. If you are feeling brave you can take out the board and visually inspect it, and replace any components that may be damaged.

  • @dishonestApparel GREAT video. Can you tell how did you get the serial numbar of the T-con card you changed??. I have a Samsung LN46A650A1F with image and sound but the screen is dark. Image and sound works with different sources (camera, dvd, computer, etc. but the screen is dark.I want to change the t-conn card but I have not found the card serial code. Thank you for your answer!

  • hey did your tv have no visual or no sound?.

  • hey did your tv have no visual or no sound?

  • I have a samsung going out. It is fine for about 15 min and then gets rainbow lines and then goes to black. Do you think it is capacitors or TCON? Did your TV just turn black or did it slowly go out?

    Thanks man:)

  • Take a small philips head bit from a screw gun and lock it into your needle nose vice grip, that will give you a right angle screw driver.

  • can you tell me where shoul i buy 52 inch lcd screen?. i just need the LCD screen.

    thank...

  • Everything is built this way today, I have been fixing stuff for many years. Used to be you bought a tv and it lasted 20+ years. VCR's also lasted for many years but then they started using more and more plastic parts in them. I hated working on them because they would break. We would use super glue to fix the plastic parts that broke. As we say in the repair business "they are finding cheaper ways to make things cheaper".

  • hi I from malaysia. like which I do want to found in the form of a $100 T-Conn card (BN81-01286A) for my lcd bro.....how?

  • Put a large value resistor in series with your "ground strap". Having a direct connection to the chassis is rather unsafe,if you were to come into contact with some kind of voltage.

  • @PhattyMo Hell yes! Buy a decent ground strap. They only cost $5. They have a one meg resistor in series to keep you from being electrocuted. You might also get a capacitor problem with the set but I would not worry unless you get new weird symptoms. And for that many bazoos that you paid for it I would fix it again. Unlike the board the caps should be under $20. Good job!

  • i just got my samsung lnt3242h

    it was the T-CON board lol!!!

  • hey man nice vid but i got a question. my picture went black yesterday but when i turn the tv on the picture will flicker on and off a few times before just staying off. i managed to change my backlight setting to 0 and the picture stays on. if i set it up to 1 or 2 it goes off again. its a 40inch series 5 lcd samsung about 2 yrs old. i kno you're not a tv repairman but whats your opinion. i've read that it could be t-con card, power supply, panel, bad caps, etc. think the t-conn is most likely?

  • @NotoriousHP Do the good old flash light trick, when it the TV goes dark, if you can see a picture it is probably not the t-conn card. Usually bad caps, or inverter. You can get a replacement board or attempt to fix it yourself. The card will usually have a pink and white cables that connect to the lamps.

  • please i need to know where can i buy the T-conn card, can you tell the name of website. urgent thank you.

  • @BigokMr please put the part number in a google search and click 'shopping'. You should find it by searching online.

  • @BigokMr I recommend TV Parts Guy. Google their name. They have a website. Really reasonable prices.

  • alright dude before i buy the tcon card,i wanted to know if these 3 light showed on the bottom right of your tv,1 green and two red,just to make sure i dont replace something that doesnt need replace,also i have sound but blank screen

  • @technorocktrance I really have no idea...I just learned how to fix this particular problem on this particular tv...

  • @technorocktrance LED TV AND LCD TV 3D-TV MODULE  Y X Z driver and AUDIO Module

    HK DAZELONG ELECTRONIC CO.,LTD

  • that sound u were wonderin about,it was ur camera farting,mine did it alot

  • I have a cracked LCD 46" screen tv. Something hit the screen and now there are leaked spots

  • everything breaks

  • you are one goovy dude but you fix it never new that a person looking like you can fix anything besides your skate board.

  • mine has the same issues, but with a very bad smell at the back. its smell like a burned electrical wire every time I turn it on. what seems to be the problem. Audio is fine.

  • know anything about LED 46 inch mine started to have a bunch of multicolor vertical line all over the screen and i cant see shit do you know wht could it be

  • @lionstrike5858 try and watch plasma repair video.

  • @DishonestApparel

    I am also having the same issues. Samsung wants the original receipt from 2 years ago. Who has that? Do you think the vertical lines are from a bad T-Conn card? Where can I purchase one? Thanks!

  • @DishonestApparel

    JediScientist: I am also having the same issues. Samsung wants the original receipt from 2 years ago. Who has that? Do you think the vertical lines are from a bad T-Conn card? Where can I purchase one? Thanks!

  • @JediScientist Sounds like screen to me. Is it lcd or plasma!!!!!

  • @lionstrike5858

    watch?v=xGbAgbZrmXM&feature=fe­edwll&list=WL sounds like bad capacitors

  • Was this a permanent fix? I had the same issue (sound, no picture) and I replaced my t-con card. It is working far more consistently, but the problem still periodically exists. So perplexed.

  • @cewan302 yup!

  • FUCK SAMSUNG!!!!!

  • @foxdie126 agreed!

  • you payed $3500 for a 46" LCD LMFAO!!! you got screwed over.

  • @norge696 in 2006 moron.

  • Now I am having sort of the same issue. The screen went black, but still has audio. Would replacing the Tconn Card fix the issue?

  • @ace12306 I'm not a TV repairman, but I fixed a tv with the exact problem you are having. use own judgement here...

  • Great video.

    When the video went out, did the audio still work? I'm just trying to diagnose my issue...wondering if it is the same.

    Thanks

  • @cewan302 watch video. Audio works.

  • Shame on samsung I am also disappointed. after 2 years I have issues with the TV not truning on only after 8 clicks.. Not like my old sony that I sold after 5 years and was working fine.

  • All I had to do to fix mine was to connect the hicky dodger to the new thing a my jig and then reconnected all the red to blue wires and just plug it into the wall and Bingo!!

  • @lyerlyman yup! same here.

  • Congratulations. I really happy for you that you were able to do that.

  • @AraBlak thanks

  • It would be so funny if you dropped the TV at the end

  • @PawlOwl agreed. There would be a lot more views

  • my samsung went black just hours ago. wondering if you have the same problem and if this fix will work fr me. i get audio, but the screen is black. Same issue for all inputs (cable, all hdmi, rca, componnent, vga). let me know...would like to try this fix.

  • @udub671 Mine has the same issue. Sound, no video. Have you tried this?

  • @cewan302 ?

  • @udub671 did you watch the video?

  • good day dishonest apparel! my 42 samsung tv problem had lines and half of the screen is kinda dark.do you think if i replace the tcon board would fixed the problem? hoping for your prompt reply.thanks!

  • @bokkirk not sure, unfortunately.

  • why replace the tcon board, 99% of the time a small fuse label with t, k or o blows 6.3a 125v smd just grab a soldering iron get max hot some solder, get an old resistor or piece of wire and jump the fuse i charge people $125 for this total cost for me 1 penny.

  • @thomaswil8 Make a video and help people out rather than rant about how smart you are.

  • Both boards went on my 3 year old Samsung and yeah, I was pissed, but this video was a lifesaver. I bought both boards on Ebay (new) searching by part number. I can't say taking the back of the tv off was easy, but once off, the boards were relatively easy to replace. It's like a brand new tv. Shame on Samsung for forcing me to resort to YouTube to find out how to repair without spending a fortune. The boards were $75 ea.

  • @emotpix Awesome. Glad it worked!

  • Mine has sounds but no picture. Is this the same problem you were having?

  • @gene54321 same here

  • @gene54321 watch the video

  • Hey, please could you tell me what was the problem with your LCD?? I'd like to know cause I don't know if I should change this part or the main card... Regards

  • Good morning, please could you tell me what was the problem with your LCD? Cause I have this LCD and I don't know if this card is the problem

  • @Angelito3100 watch the video

  • Ok thanx :)

  • What about taking the plastic bezel off. Will it be snapped together after I take the screw out?

  • @austn12345 Not sure...has been a while since I replaced it

  • Samsung company never tell us about recall power problems, Why ?

    My Samsung Lcd 32" is 3 years old, I took it to Tv repairer, He told me, this power card was crap But New one cost AU$350 plus labor !!!!!!!! Waiting for ship from Japan.. Oh man, Very Mad at Samsung !!!! Huh ?

  • where can i buy a tcon card?

  • @jjjp0619 search google 'shopping'

  • good video. will this fix my samsung lcd model LN-S4051D? my tv has sound but no picture, is that same problem as shown on your video?

  • @jjjp0619 Yes, I believe so

  • Thanks you so much DA...had the same prob watched your vid, sourced a replacement board for £18, fitted it in my 32" Samsung LCD and it sprung back to life. I would recommend that anyone with the same prob give this a go, just make sure your replacement board is the same as the fried one. Thank you agaon DA :)

  • @SimonF1967 You got it! Don't ever buy Samsung again!

  • I bought a $3,000 Samsung LN-T4066F LCD TV at Best Buy in 2008 and in less than one year it goes blank when I turn it on and for almost two years now its been sitting in my fuckin room doing nothing because Samsung gotta be a fuckin' douche when it comes to customer service! Fuck You Samsung!!!!

  • @AppleMacTech Did you fix it with this method? Mine was a wall decoration for 2 years as well, till I fixed it!

  • My telly is fucking broke i just got it its a 32 inch plasma and the green light comes on when you switch it on but no picture

  • @FruitsSoft See if this fixes it...

  • Will this work for any type of flatscreen

  • @InThIsMoMeNt911 I think LCD only...and where no picture but Sound...

  • Spend over two grand on a tv and then you have to learn how to fix it is BULL SHIT !!

  • @bever49 I agree

  • Comment removed

  • dude i am having the same prob ... u made it look a lil too easy ... but i think im gonna have to try it looks like that one screw (R angle) was a beast .. and by the way was it a t-con card ? any suggestions on where to buy ?

  • @POLISHSUMO11 Try Sears Parts Direct or search on Google 'Shopping'. Sorry about the late reply. You've probably had it fixed for 2 months by now...

  • this worked for my 46" Samsung!! Thanks

  • @tonym3021 Awesome!

  • Should I take the stickers off of the tcon card?

  • I know this might be a stupid question, but did you take the stickers off of the card? Does it matter or would it just be smart to remove them?

  • @bryri541 Don't think it was necessary...if you are relating to the small white stickers with number info on them...sorry for the late reply

  • @DishonestApparel My Samsungs problem is when you turn it on, it makes a kind of dududu noise and then it goes to the source menu, tv guide etc, but now it isn't and the telivisions blue light goes on and off repeatedly making the dududu noise and no picture coming up, any suggestions, thanks.

  • So did your sound work? I don't know where you described your problem. I have a Samsung TV where the sound works, but the picture won't display. I'm about to purchase a T-CON Card because I don't get a picture, but I get sound.

  • @bryri541 Hi, yes the sound was working. Only the picture was out. T-Con will fix it.

  • will that card replacement work with a zenith plasma TV. mines blank and i dot see any black or budge on power supply

  • @fmarcelino18 no clue

  • THAT SOUND WAS A FART LOL

  • As a novice to electronics/LCD TVs and reluctant on paying for a new TV/Engineer, I'd like to say many thanks for the video/tutorial, which has helped identify my Samsung black screen problem. I'm awaiting a TCON card (£15 from ebay). As I have two identical Samsungs, I was able to test successfully with the second (working) card and fix a handful of bulging capacitors on the power board at the same time and eliminate inverter problems. Fantastic stuff!

  • help me out dude, my tv just wont turn on at all, it makes a sound like if its about to turn on but it just doesnt, please help me, whats wrong with it?

  • @CangelesSlick I am not sure. I'm not a TV Repairman, I just happened to repair a tv.

  • @DishonestApparel i see haha well if any \one else knows let me know, thanks anyways

  • @CangelesSlick Did you ever fixed your Tv?

  • @TheLordapoc nah dude haha i dont whats wrong with it lol sadly

  • Buying samsung is like playing russian roulette that you won't be screwed.

    DON'T BE A SHAMSUNG SUCKER !!

  • @kf4pbb711 can't understand you

  • wow it fixed tje tv thx dude

  • @jake1230157 Sweet...

  • Awesome vid! fuckin' Samsung. I will never buy another piece of shit samsung again!  Thank you for sharing.

  • @kyrieeleison1 And neither will I and about 30,000 other people who view these videos...

  • @DishonestApparel

    It worked. I did EXACTLY what you did; and I got up and running again. But, I will say this much...I'LL BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF SHIT SAMSUNG AGAIN. I'm glad you posted this vid.

  • @kyrieeleison1 Was that a Typo? You WILL buy another or you WILL NOT?

  • @BandWagonDisaster

    Yeah, that was a typo. And, NO I'll never buy another piece of shit Samsung again. My only regret is that I didn't read any of the consumer reports ahead of time.

  • sup man i have a 32'' westinghouse lcd tv and frecently the screen will g blank and the sound too but the tv power will stay on it does not go in standby mode. and it wll not come back on till i rest it for about a week or so. it will work fine for ablout a month if am lucky then will go out again. what do you think?

  • @grenadasblessed I think if it has a T-Conn, that is your problem...

  • Thanks for the detailed instructions. I purchased the part at on line for under $100. Shamsung's website is nice and it said I needed a tech. Called Shamsung and they scheduled a tech for me. I'm still waiting for the call. Thanks to you my TV is working.

  • @irvs65 alright!
