Looking for a parts source for the S500.

Video section has become compromised and no longer functional. Audio being separate from the Video may work perfectly, but the Video portion sustained damage to the circuit board or the inline safety diode blew. If any parts of the Circuit Board fail, you need to replace the mainboard. The cost to generally fix a circuit board is usually more than the replacement cost for a new unit. Check all fuses or circuit limiters inside the TV and if there are no shorts, burned parts, or obvious smells on the mainboard, transient current may have trickled in and damaged sensitive electronics. Have a professional Technician do tests to locate the source of the problem.

hi there,

Yes, it's capacitors issue.
I will explain how to fix it:

• Open the case of the LCD

basically in all LCD monitors have two circuit boards (power supply board and system board)

• After you open you will see the two boards are

• You see a board that has a socket for the power source. wrote that the board we're looking for (power supply board)

• Remove all cables connected to the board and take out the board. (get noted before you unplug it)
  

• Now you see it components on board, we looking for capacitor.
• Looking for damaged capacitors, physically you will see a capacitor on the top like a bloated
  
• Replace that capacitor. Done

For More details please read my tips here

Please let me know the result

Thanks.

Dear showmetoo99,

Surely you can fix it yourself with a very low cost.

• Remove all cables connected to the board and take out the board. (get noted before you unplug it)
  

• Now you see it components on board, we looking for capacitor.(see picture below)

• Looking for damaged capacitors, physically you will see a capacitor on the top like a bloated (see picture below)

• Replace the damaged capacitor with the same value that you can see on the surface of the capacitor. (In this step you need any soldering tool)

My advice: replace capacitors with higher voltage, like 10V replace with 16V or 25V will be fine.

Dear Bradleyphan,

two weeks ago I fix samsung LCD TV with the same problem and I've managed to fix it.

Hi,
This problem is due to damaged of flexible board which connects LCD with the main board,
The part number and description is given below:
Part number 1-864-761-11 Description FP-185 FLEXIBLE BOARD figer is also for your convenience.

Thanks for using fixya.

If an LCD TV has sound but no picture do the following:

Use the source button to ensure that source is not set to the wrong input.

Try unplugging power cord for ten minutes, to ensure it is not a setting problem.

Check all the video cables at the back of TV.

Check Light /Color settings.

If problem persist and does not depend on external receiver or settings, then it is likely an internal fault.

If it has sound but no picture then one of the following parts is faulty, and must be tested and replaced:

Theinverter is the high voltage board that provides variable power to thebacklight lamp. This is the most common. When inverter is faulty youcan get no picture, or a very dim picture that can only be seen bypointing a torch light with a 45 degree angle on the LCD surface fromvery near distance.
The inverter must be tested by reading voltages with a multimeter.

The LCD ribbon cable/LCD display and connectors.
Thisis quite uncommon, but happens. If the TV had been hit or moved the LCDcable may have slipped out, or the LCD connector may be damaged.

The LCD controller board.
Thisis the board that controls the video signal, it is difficult to test,as there is need to read determined values on IC pins. To test thisboard you need to purchase a service manual and follow thetroubleshooting diagrams on service manual.

Input/Output Signal boards.
This are the boards where youconnect the video and audio cables, if a signal board is defective,then you may get no picture on particular inputs located on faultyboard.

If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual.

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

I think you are looking for following thin cable between unit and LCD ..


yes, its part number is as follows..
1-873-619-11 FLEXIBLE BOARD
Available in Part Store.

If part is different, post its picture here for further help.

I have opened my camera and found that the flexible circuit/ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the inside of the camera is broken. This is due to poor design, in which the flexible circuit cannot withstand the constant movement of the LCD.
I have managed to buy a new cable from a Sony repair dealer, and will attempt to fit it later on this week.

The part number for the new flexible cable is:
Ref no. 171
1-864-761-11
FP-185 FLEXIBLE BOARD

if you are interested in how I get on with it, you can mail me at [email protected]
I won't bother trying to complain to Sony directly, because it is quite apparent that they really couldn't give a toss.
