Samsung TV TXE2545 Bottom Half of Picture

Apr 12, 2005 7 Replies

Hi,



I have a Samsung TV TXE2545 mfg 4/97 in my shop with half a picture (bottom half) which is linear (normal). At the center (top of half of picture) is a bright horizontal line. Above, the screen is black. I scoped the input signal (pin 1) to IC301 TDA8350Q and it looks normal. Pins 4 and 8 have a little above normal voltage. Could the cause of this problem be IC301?



Thanks in advance, Brad

black.

normal.

I Had one last week with a bad Bi Polar ..the Orange one in front of the IC.

Vertical IC, but there is an upgrade for those sets also. They (Samsung) recommend adding some components to the vertical section (zeners and ceramic capacitors, I think) to stabilize the circuit. Someone may have that information available.

They run as hot as a firebrand, or at least did when I worked on them.

55-60 degrees C on the heatsink, if memory serves. Maybe a Peletier cooler is in order for them. :-)

Hmmm, that bugger runs real HOT. Change all 3 caps for that vertical circuit and the IC. This one uses dual voltage design, one positive, one negative.

Yes there is Samsung's bulletin on that design.

Cheers,
