I was watching TV the other day, I heard a “click” sound from inside the TV and it turned off, and it has not turned on since. There it power in the outlet it is plugged into, any guesses as to what it could be? Tv is 55 inch Samsung series 6 NU6900 model
I got a new TV for the living room a couple months ago and this older one got moved to the basement. I don't use the basement TV much. Went to fire it up for the first time since relocating it and I get this. I'm guessing it has to be something related to physical damage and wouldn't be easily fixed or even worth it for a 5 yr old TV.
Could anyone confirm my diagnosis just by seeing the symptoms? It's a shame though, I really thought I was pretty careful with moving it. I have a hard time figuring out why else the TV would work fine the last time it was used and suddenly be trash after moving it. Maybe I should've put it back in the box before relocating, even if it was just downstairs.
One day I heard a loud sound from the back of the tv and then noticed Peak Luminance stopped working. Toggling Off and High doesn't do anything. Samsung sent a technician and he first replaced mainbord (the big part in the connect box) but that didn't help. Next time the PCB was replaced (with the old mainboard back inside) - still nada. They're now clueless and claims nothing is wrong. Of course we tested factory reset etc. What else in this tv can be replaced? I think the panel itself has a t-con board? Also noticed that White Balance now looks much warmer than before. Obviously less blue light is coming through. Btw this is all for HDR. Anyone?
Hello everyone, I have had this TV for a few years, but unfortunately the screen has suffered damage. The device still works fine, but one corner of the screen is dark. Can anyone tell me where I could find a replacement screen? I searched online without success. I'm Italian, so something I can get in my country would be good. I also wanted to say that this is the first time I've posted something on Reddit, I might have done something wrong and if this was the case I apologize. Thanks to anyone who tries to help me
Vizio M55-E0 will no longer turn on. If I disconnect from power and then plug it back in, the status light will come on for a few seconds and then die. It reacts to me pressing the power button too, but nothing from the display.
Could be unrelated, but there was a plastic-like burning smell when the tv initially stopped working.
I opened up the back check if I could see any indication of burn marks on any of the boards and did not see anything. Also checked the fuse on the power board with multi-meter and it’s not blown.
Any ideas what the issue is?
I had white spots on the screen, I bought a replacement used one on ebay and installed it, the lamp light is on and the screen comes on but no mitsubishi logo on startup and i only get what looks like dust on the screen, when i move the tv the dust moves, it like shakes on the screen, looks like i needed to maybe wipe the lens off? in my haste and inexperience i guess alot of dust mustve gotten in things, but why no mitsubishi logo on startup, and i get nothing on screen when i press menu on remote and i cant turn the tv back off.
Hey gurus,
I don't really know what to call this, yet whenever there's the slightest motion, like that of the cursor, or an animation in the UI, the whole screen becomes shaky. The effect is particularly pronounced with text items and straight lines, which get distorted visibly. I've tried changing every setting available, and the only thing that seems to make a difference is switching the source type to 'PC'. However, the picture becomes visible interlaced (didn't know that was even possible on flatscreen TVs). Happens with Mac, PC, or console connected. TV service menus aren't affected, so it likely isn't a panel issue (c).
TV set: Philips Aurea 42". Reluctant to give it up as it's quite unique.
I recently upgrade my 40ne5505 firmware with a wrong one caused my motherboard not power on it blinks red and blue and the backlight not inluminate . I bought a new motherboard for the tv .No luck same as the old one I disconnect the display nothing I disconnect the backlight nothing What I can do ??
Yesterday the TV turned off randomly then started flickering black and blue. Since then this happens when i turn it on. What should be the solution? (I already tried hard reset it didn’t do anything)
TV model is a Sceptre JJTV53PA. Already replaced power cable (rated for same voltage the TV requires), my laptop detects it, but I get no screen output (it’ll flash as shown in the video but that’s it) and when shining a flashlight up to the screen nothing happens. Not sure how old this TV is as it came from my mom’s work. Already tried leaving it off for hours, unplugging and replugging, etc. Please help?
My Sony 2016 model KDL -60W630B is showing neither my fire stick or ps5 when plugged into the HDMI. The TV will turn on, we can control the volume and turn it off/on, but it will not connect to anything plugged into it. Me and my dad suspect it has something to do with a possibly damaged port, but we don’t know for certain. Photo of port is attached, any help is appreciated.
Evening everyone,
I've got a Mitsubishi model WD82838. This TV was handed down from a friend, and I am assuming that it is either 13 or 14 years old. The lamp was replaced ~3 months ago, and we have had 0 problems since.
Earlier today, me and a friend were watching a movie. After it was over (approx. 2 hours), we turned off the PS4 that was running the film, and then found that we were unable to turn off the tv with the remote. It was stuck on the blue standby screen. I neglected to try and use the physical power switch on the TV, and went straight to the power strip. Once I turned the strip back on, I could hear a switch throw inside the TV, and then the status light blinks green for approx. 15 seconds. After that, the TV will not turn on- physical button or remote.
I tried to cycle power by unplugging the unit and holding the power button for 10 seconds. I've also tried unplugging the unit for 5ish minutes and then retrying. Each time the unit is plugged back in the green light blinks for 15ish seconds. I removed and replaced the lamp. I even asked it nicely to turn on. No results!
3 hours and more than a few google searches later, I'm still lost. I can't find anything regarding this specific issue online. The manual says that a fast blinking green light means that the lamp needs to cooldown. This has happened before but it always goes away after a few minutes, unlike this event, so I don't think this is the issue.
Has anyone experienced an issue like this with their Mitsubishi DLP? Did I fry the power supply? Faulty engine? I would really like to keep this TV in service, it's too cool to throw away. Any advice is appreciated, I am new to television repair.
Thanks all!
Greetings i'm having an issue with a xiaomi l65m5-5s TV. The light is really dim of the tv i can barely see it with the lights on. Could it be the LED strips? The logo starts for a second as usual then after that the image goes really dark.
I found this tv outside in good condition with the remote. Brought it in, fired it up. Backlight flashes and it keeps rebooting. Ir sensor flashing red as well. No obvious damage on the main board. No I’ve disconnected every cable one at a time. This 12 pin connector has something to do with the issue 100 percent, I believe it’s the backlight. With this cable disconnected, the tv no longer boot loops and can be powered on. When powered on I eventually hear a start up chime so it is booting. Not sure where to go from here though. I’m experience with soldering so that’s no issue. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Have had the TV for a while but this issue started a while ago, and clearly can't be used. It's just been downstairs sitting there since. Figured I'd see if anyone knew what the issue is. Was gonna throw it away but I hope it can be fixed because I liked the TV when it worked lol. This is what happens as soon as it's plugged in the outlet. Can't use any buttons on the remote...endless flashing is all I get the moment it gets plugged in. It's a Sony. UN49MU7000F is the model number.
Hi All, I'm new to the group and would like to get some advice. So I have the above mentioned tv that has been given to me as non working. The power supply sounds like it's trying to "stand up" then makes a tup sound and it's just keep on repeating. Have replaced 3 bulged cap on the cold side (believe they are filter caps for the backlight) but no change. What I found if I press on the board the tup sound stops. Also when it does the tup sound the blacklight flashes and the 13v that goes to the mainboard spikes to 19v. When I press on the board the 13v stabilizing, the backlight comes on but no picture and after a while it restarts, the backlight start flash again a couple of times then comes on. Also I don't get a standby light and the standby voltage was off as well before replacing the caps(forgot the check afterwards)Anyone had this issue before? Or something similar? I can upload a video later when I get home Thanks in advance
Yearish old. Tv turns on with the remote but just a white screen appears then fades to black. Can't get any action to appear on screen or change input.
When I turn on the tv, the Toshiba logo flashes and then fades. After it fades, the screen glows slightly, but it's brighter on the right side. The flashlight test showed no image, and there is no obvious damage on any of the boards in the back, even though there is a smell of rotting eggs when it's first plugged in. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance.
Can this be fixed by a simple repair?

My Sony Bravia Kd-55XD9305 has a „double image“ and a horizontal line which isnt of static color.
What are the possible causes, is this a known issue about this model? I would be very greatful for any advice on troubleshooting this Tv.
