Introduction

Board Specifications:

Samsung UN60FH6003 Timing Control (T-Con) Board P/N BN96-28944A (BN97-07663B)

Symptoms:

- TV turns on

- Have sound

- dark screen (backlight on, changes brightness depending on content)

- can turn TV on/off, change channel, etc. with remote

Other symptoms this fix would most likely solve:

- picture shows inverted colors

- screen has vertical lines

- half of the screen has no picture (backlight still on)

- symptoms that suggest the video processing unit is malfunctioning, while all other things seem to be working

Diagnosis:

- T-Con board failure (most likely), everything except picture was working

- Main board failure (less likely), main board couldn't process visual information

Fix:

1. bought replacement T-con board (I bought from ebay) - Board P/N BN96-28944A (BN97-07663B)

2. open TV by removing back cover (place TV face down, remove all screws, lift plastic back off)

3. remove metal plate that covers the T-con board, at the bottom of the TV. use caution not to damage ribbon cables attached to the T-con board

4. disconnect top ribbon cable by squeezing the sides of the adapter and pull it out carefully

5. disconnect bottom two ribbon cables. flip up plastic cover on the adapter/socket that locks the pins. lift out ribbon cables.

6. remove and replace new T-con board

7. reconnect all ribbon cables

8. install the metal plate, tv back cover
