Samsung LCD TV model number:LN40D550K1FXZC. No Back light problem. Audio works, Flash light test shows picture. i have changed the Back light inverter with no change.

I had a coworker give me his old TV that he said just stopped working one day. I preformed a flashlight test just to see if it was a dead back light or something easy like that. Preforming the flashlight test i found that the TV had both Audio and video present so i quickly assumed it to be a bad back light inverter and ordered one off of Shop jimmy. After i got the new part I quickly put it in and to my dismay nothing changed. I took a couple of days off from the TV at this point then busted out the Volt meter. With the TV TURNED ON i am getting 0v off of the High and Low marked leads to the back light inverter . I am by no means a TV tech so before i replace the Power board im wondering if im correct in thinking the power supply is the culprit. Thanks in advanced for any kinda help !

You have to verify if there is power going in to the back light inverter. If there is power going in to it, check if there is power coming out. If no power is going in to the inverter work back to the source; most likely the main power supply area. It would be nice for you to have the shop service manual for the set if you are to spend some time on trying to fix it. You may need a scope to perform specific tests indicated in the manual.

If there is power leaving the inverter, then the problem and be the lamp assembly inside of the display. Depending on the model the display lights are not always serviceable.

I have a samsung ln40b500p3f that has sound and no picture. You can turn the tv on and the picture will flash on and off about three times then stays off but I still have sound.

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/
To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

My samsung LE40R74BD set works fine for about 10 mins then screen goes blank (black) . It would appear there is no back lighting. I have visually checked the psu for blown capacitors but all seem to be...

This does not seem to be a power supply issue but rather an issue with the backlight inverter board. When the screen goes black, take a flash light and focus it on the screen from a close distance and several angles. See if you notice a very faint image. Try changing the channels to make it more noticeable. Try it and let me know

Samsung 32 lcd tv backlight off after 4 sec. audio ok

If your TV is staying on and you hear audio after the picture goes dark, then you have a problem with a CCFL or the inverter circuitry that drives them.

Most likely an inverter problem.

Like a bad xformer (usually fogged up plastic wrapper)

Or a bad cap (bulged, swollen, cracked)

Or maybe a shorted IC or transistor (test for short circuit between the different pins of the device)
