Testing Samsung Power Board

BN9603775A

Most common fault: Stuck in Standby

Remedy: Replace F9222L IC

After replacing the F9222L IC and performing cold checks to the Power Board, across the
Mains Smoothing Capacitor and primary MOSFETs, you can check the O/P voltages of the
PSU on the workbench with the following procedure.

Tools Needed: Multimeter

Variable Bench Variable Power Supply (Ohm uses 12V 1.5A)

Method:

1/ Attach an Isolated Mains Supply to the Live & Neutral Connector CN801. (Fig 1)

2/ Switch on the isolated mains. (Fig 1)

3/ At CNM801 Pin 2 check for the Standby +5V. This is an EVER voltage used to Power the
Main PCB in Standby mode. (Fig 2)

4/ Turn off the Isolated Mains supply. At CNM801, Pin 1, attach the Variable Power Supply.
This is the ON/OFF pin used by the micro to turn ON the Power Supply. (Fig 3)

5/ Turn on the Isolated Mains.

6/ Turn on the Variable Power Supply and apply approx. 1V. (Fig 3)

7/ Test for switched voltage:

CNM801 Pins 6-8 = +12V (Fig 4)

CNM801 Pins 12-14 = +5V (Fig 5)
CNM801 Pin 16 = 13V (Fig 6)
CNM802 Pins 10-14 = +24V (Fig 7)
CNM803 Pins 10-14 = +24V (Fig 8)

This method allows you to check your supply rails before returning the Power Board into the
TV for final checking.

NOTES

When this board is faulty, I test it before replacing the F9222L to make sure that the board is at fault.

Usually this board is stuck in Standby and I check it by reading the O/P voltages at CNM802 / CNM803.

As shown above they should read +24V. When faulty these read approximately +15V. The switched

+12V rail at CNM801 Pins 6-8 also reads low around +7V.
