20 Most Recent Samsung LE32R41BD 32 in. HD-Ready LCD Television - Page 9 Questions & Answers

do this test, turn tv on and touch the screen if you can see light in the background it is the panel if no back light is present then it is the power board.

press mute/182/power button on the remote control that came with the Tv that should put you in the service mode then scroll over to reset and push enter, after tv shuts down then turn back on, if this does not reset it then disconnect from cable box and reset cable box.

It looks like the power supply is giving up on your TV. The strobing is because the TV may not be getting enough power or is not being filter properly.
How old is the TV?

press on the DTV button on the remote control & then DMENU, select CHANEL , auto search, its very simple.

I had a similar problem, mine was a bad earth connection on the main (tv input) board. it earths through the screw mountings so check they are screwed in nice and tight, probably best to remove and then refit it.

i think you should replace your power board.

the lcd panel needs replacing.

I would check with samsung support/customer service that is usually a bad panel that needs to be replaced.

It's under warranty, call for service.

i had the same problem it was the inverter PCB and cost me £245 to get a new one fitted although they only cost about £65 but i could not get one anywhere to fit myself as it is a easy job to do.
hope this is of help to you

I would first try replacing the cable if the problem remains the same it will almost certainly be a bad connection on the socket or panel in the back of the TV.

Simple to solve if you have any soldering/TV repair experience.
If not take to the repair shop, it shouldn't cost a lot to put it right.

Take it back... That is either the digital board or the logic main board and that's way too soon for you to be having those problems.. Heck a Poloroid usually lasts a couple of years before having these type of severe problems, and even that is sooner than most major brands... You still have warranty - I STRONGLY recommend you take it back..

Check your component cables. You have 3 colors coming in. Red,Green and Blue. Make sure the Red cable is good. You can do this by substituting the red cable only, or just change all 3 cables

One of two scenario. One, you have a bad LDS cable. This cable is found inside the set. This is the cable that is plug into the panel, The other end is plug into the main board. This cable may also just need cleaning. The end that plug into the Panel may have some glue put on it to keep it from getting loose. You may want to unplug it and try cleaning it . Two, You may have a bad panel. In that case you may want to consider getting a new set.

Hello johnque,

I would suspect that this might be a back-light problem. However this may also be a screen issue. There are many things this could be and it will require that a person troubleshoots the unit to actually find out what is wrong. I know you wanted a quick fix for this but this unit has to be diagnosed, so to that end, if you have a background in electronics these are the tools you will need to complete this task;

1) A schematic diagram of the TV
2) A Multimeter
3) An Universal Video Analyzer or Computer Monitor Analyzer
4) An Isolation Transformer

With the tools and knowledge of electronics this becomes an easy problem to solve. Now if you do not have knowledge of electronics I would suggest that you take your set to a qualified TV repair shop for servicing.

Thank you,

Hi

I just got the sky hd and i have a 32" samsung tv and the reception is crystal clear would defo recommend it!!

It requires repair, 1-2 hours. Or $50-$100

I have the same TV, and it has developed exactly the same problem! Hopefully there is a solution...

If this is brand new and you're experiencing this type of problem 10 minutes out of the box you either have a real lemon or something may have come loose in transit. There are ANY number of possible answers here and I would STRONGLY suggest not making it any worse by attempting to do surgery on it yourself now take it to a shop for an estimate. Explain what you have to me and they might find the loose connection or poor solder joint during the estimate.. Worse case scenerio one of the main boards are cracked and in that event if the tech finds it he can probably get the board for a VERY reduced rate directly from Samsung. Hope this helps. Bill
