gingerandtabby Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The sound works fine but the picture is black. Is it fixable? If so who would I contact? I bought used at least 5 years ago. It is too big for me to wrestle into my car (I can't drive right now anyway). Thanks for consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Not normally cost effective to fix older LED TV sets (that is what you are talking about)? Shop might come to pick up and give you an estimate (if in city) so that might be an option - let them keep if costs too much to fix. New sets are very lightweight and likely better picture using a lot less electric and costs have come down a lot (especially for local made brands). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Samsung will come to your place and pick up the TV, repair it and then deliver it. But honestly it would probably cost too much to repair once the warranty is over. They sell new 32" Samsung's now for about 6,800 Baht, or even less on sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Sort of on topic! Has anyone had a Samsung screen repaired. I think damp got into the layer under (in between screen layers?) so picture is very blurry. Otherwise it works perfectly OK. It is quite old (older flat screen model), shame to throw it away.

Mahseer Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Amorn on the north side of the moat will look at it and give you a quote but no idea if they will collect. They are specialists in fixing out of guarantee electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a double image by any chance? Samsung is known for that and had happened to me and repaired by following instructions on Youtube (have to cover some of the tabs on connecting strap and get it into perfect position). Has been working fine for 2 years since repair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taotoo Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I had the same symptoms, albeit with a plasma, and had success at this place: https://goo.gl/maps/eShCV6Eij442 Cost 2.5k while Samsung wanted 10k. In my case it was the power supply, but if it's the panel then I imagine it might be beyond repair. Don't know if they will collect or not.

cmsally Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Not really double image, its more like a grey cloud. It started off as a small patch and the patch has grown bigger (now covers the whole screen). It is left in a condo we sometimes use so damp seems likely to be the cause. Was just pondering whether hauling it back to Chiang Mai to fix would be worth it. Seems such a waste to throw it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) That sounds like what happened to a local tablet I had and indeed the screen is likely shot in that case would cost more to repair than to buy a new model. TV sets are now in the throw away price range for normal size models - there is not much too them besides the screen.

Regards, Joe Nothing to do with Thailand , it's my English upbringing ! The Thais throw heaps of stuff out. They would have thrown my mobile phone out at least 10yrs ago ! In fact most stuff if you hold onto it long enough , you can resell it to them as an "antique". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a repair shop 1km south of Hangdong road Big C junction on the north bound side. It says Sony service centre on the building and Google Maps but I have had Samsungs repaired in there before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerandtabby Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Thank you all for your kind suggestions. I may call Samsung to come over - or I may just let the set sit there and gather dust. I don't watch much TV anyway.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I've done an extensive Google and it is definitely moisture on the LCD panel. The local fix it guy near to me says it can definitely be repaired, now I just have to haul it back from BKK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
