When the TV is turned
Hello
There is some circuit defects [either short or open] inside the circuit board of your Samsung TV. It may be either in its power regulator secion of in its horizontal output section. You are seeing short circuit self protection as LED blinks. To checkout, you have to open your Tv
Open your TV after disconnecting it from the mains power socket. As far as power supply regulation system is concerned, it is working, otherwise green LED shouldn't light up. Therefore 5vDC powe section is correct. You just chek for other voltages in the secondary side of SMPS tranformer. There should be a 120VDC and an 8V Ic regulated supply. It is a common fault in Samsung TVs, that this 8VDC supply will be interrupted, as it has been derived from a regulator Ic [7808]. Check for this voltage first. It is a three terminal device. Its pin number 1 is for voltage input, usually 13vCD of so, and the retlated output come out of it pin number 3, and will be a steady *VDC. Check for any loose solderings on the terminals of this regualtor IC. If this voltage is absent, horizontal oscillator section of the main Ic will not work, resulting in total horizonta output failure. If this voltage is ok, chek the main secondary voltage; 115 of120VDC, supplies to horizontal output section, which in turn drives LOT and so on. Check the line driver tranformer, for winding open. Check its primary winding voltage, and if you have a digital multimeter capable of measuring frequency, check the frequency of horizontal drive transistor's collector, connected to one end of the above said horizontal driver transformer. It should be around 15625Hz.
If these should not help, or the set shuts down as you switch it on, test this. Desolder it out the horizontal output transistor, which drives the LOT [Line Output Transformer}; which can be located very near to the above said LOT. If the all the supply voltages come normal after resodering out the horizontal output transistor, it means that either horizontal output transistor is faulty, or LOT itsef isfaulty. If so, replace the horizontal output transistor with a new one; identical both in number and type. After replacing it, switch on the set for a short period, say 30 seconds or so, and check the heat of the replaced horizontal output tranisitor. If it overheats, LOT must be replaced, and it is the fault.
