Question about Samsung HCN4226W 42" Rear Projection HDTV-Ready Television
The power light on the TV blinks a soft pink/amber light, but wont turn on. I've tried it both with direct cable connection and hooked up to the digital cable box. I've looked all over the 'net, and all i can seem to come up with is articles about convergence problems, which this is obviously not. Is this something I can fix by myself, or do I need to break down and call in the repairman?
Take off the back there is a board at the top right with two black stk-392-040 chips on it unplug the red connector at the left side of the board then plug set up and see if it comes on if so the chips on the board are bad or replace the board about $100.00

I have the same problem. I turned off the tv and the cable box; waited between 30 mins to 1 hour. Turned on the cable box first then the tv and it works. I don't know how this will last. Black Friday's coming.

Did you unplug the red connector at the far left side of the board this plug dissconnects the convergence board and lets the set come on i have one in my shop right now with the same symptoms as you described and my set came on but the picture was way out due to the board being unpluged. there are five plugs on this board on three of them it will say red , blue ,green ,this is not the right plug . the red connector that i am talking about on my set has two blue wires that has a black and white wire in each of them. is this plug the one that you unpluged.

Yes this is a convergence problem the chips are shorted and keep your set from starting up it is called shutdown mode if you unplug the red connector on the board the set will come on but picture will not look good due to bad board.

Well, I did just what you suggested and still nothing. Any other troubleshooting steps?
I unplugged the red connector with blue wires, that is on the far left side of the convergence board.
Could it be the main board?
my e-mail is [email protected].
Thanks so much.
For what it's worth, when I unplug the connector on the convergence board, I can hear the set click on, but there is no picture whatsoever. No sound, nothing. THe power button blinks, but nothing else happens.
Ok, I was going to move the TV out onto the porch tonight, but thought I'd plug it in one more time. I did, and it came on and the colors are all over the place, but it came on this time. can't adjust the convergence at all. I'm guessing this is a tell-tale sign that it's a bad convergence board????
I've attached a picture of my screen, now that it will turn on.

I have the same problem. Â The power light blinks but the tv does not turn on . no sound, no picture.
Samsung HCN4226W. The power light blinks but the tv does not turn on
I replaced the convergence board because I had the symptoms above. It worked great for about a week. Now the screen flickers, no sound and have to unplug it to turn it off! There is little to no response with the remote too. Convergence board cost me near $100, so I am hoping this is a cheap fix this time! Please let me know. 04/17/2009
I have a hcn529w, which is similar. Same symptoms, won't turn on, when power is pressed standby light blinks 9 times then goes out like it should. When I unplugged the convergence board the tv does the same thing. What else should I be looking for?
