Samsung UN75AU8000fxza model year 2021 will not turn on.
MY Samsung UN75AU8000fxza 4K UHD tv will not turn on, there is no remote
so I have to use the power button. There was a remote and the tv would not turn on with the remote either.
I have the back of the tv off, there is a power board, a main board and a buffer board along the bottom of the set.
there is a ribbon cable from the power board to the main board
there is a ribbon cable from the main board to the buffer board
The power board is screwless and plugs directly into the backlight connector(no cable
I have checked the ac voltage on both side of the power board fuse and have 120vac
With everything connected and the tv plugged in I have no standby voltage and do not read voltage at the backlight connector.
If I unplug the main board cable to the power board the is no change, still no standby or backlight voltage.
I also unplugged the cable from the main board to the buffer board and no change.
I reconnected all of the ribbon cables, backed the power board out of the backlight connector and now I have 12.9 VDC Standby and 290 VDC on each of the 4 backlight power pins.I have a jumper wire from a grd lug on the power board to the tv frame.
With the power board backed out of the backlight connector the set tries to come on.
The red power light shows 2 slow flashes then the samsung starting sound then 1 longer flash, a very quick flash and the boot process starts again and continues until I unplug the AC.
The power board and main board were not much so I replaced them both and the symptoms are still the same.
I never see the backlights come on in any configuration, would bad backlights cause this?
Thanks for any help, Charlie

This picture is the main board, if I disconnect the ribbon cable to the driver/buffer board there is no change.No standby or backlight voltage
When I disconnect the power board from the Backlight connector I have standby voltage 12.9 VDC and backlight voltage at each positive pin 290VDC. It is in this configuration
that I get a reaction from the standby light.
