I have a forgein model Samsung TV LA40D503F7R
My Tcon board is bad BN94-04845S is the board but of course living in the US I cannot find the exact board. The only one which comes close and is readily available is the BN94-04845T but it has an extra HDMI port. Correct me if I am wrong but these TVs need the exact board to work?
I am just trying to find an answer before I end up scrapping this TV. And yes, I have called, emailed, live chat with Samsung US and UAE with no help.
Is this a good question?

@cmb "need the exact board to work" not necessarily. There are some interchange abilities. Where in the did the TV come from?

Hi @oldturkey03
He mentioned that he contacted Samsung UAE (United Arab Emirates) so think perhaps it might be from there. If so they use the PAL B/G system.

@jayeff yeah I figured something like that since this model pops up a lot on the African market as well. Looking at the LN40D503F6FXZA HN01 which appears to be the t-con counterpart to that, the NTSC/Pal standards do not seem to matter since the digital TV supports those.
