Good afternoon. My name is Webb Davis. I have a Samsung UN49M5300AF tv. Please help me. When I plug the TV into the power outlet. The red button comes on solid. When I push the power button the screen does Not show a picture. So what I decided to do was take the back plastic all. I looked at all of the circuit boards and I saw no Visual damage. So this is what happens when I plug it in I get power red light turns on solid. And then I see the actual LEDs inside of the TV turn on. When I run my fingertips across the front of the TV at light flickers. Please help cannot afford to buy new TV right now I’m in the damaged area where the hurricane just was in North Carolina please help me .
@websterd from your description it sounds like your TV comes on and the backlights turn on but you do not have any images. This is usually an issue with the main board or the T-con board (less likely). Make sure that you check all video inputs. Test with a DVD or game console as well. You would need to measure the voltages going from your power board to the main board. Post some images of your boards and the connectors with your question. That will enable us to see what you see. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that.
