Hello,

A friend gave me his UE46C6000 which had weird color lines, and it was a problem with main board BGA chip.
When i press or hit on it, the lines went on and off.

So I reflowed the main board in my oven, it worked few days, then problem went back.

I tried to relow it again, but now the tv doesn't power on, I hear the relay clicking, I think the main board is burnt.

The part numbers are : BN41-01444B / BN94-03611H
But I don't find this board online, it seems to be out of stock.

I saw lots of same looking boards, with same BN41-XXXXXX, but lil different BN94-XXXXXX.
Do you know if any of these other boards may be compatible with my tv ?

Thank you for your help.

I ordered a "UE55C6540SK" board from UK, I got a "UE55C6540SK" lol.

I changed the board, all is working good, as expected.
I went to service mode, and changed tpye and front color according to http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/europ ... ed_tip.pdf. I don't know if it was necessary.

I enabled PVR in service mode, and it works !
Internet@tv and apps are working too.

The only two thing that disappointed me are :
- In the settings of numeric tv, I can only choose country "United Kingdom" or "Ireland" not France...
- After a channel search, channel numbers started from 800, I have to change all numbers manually.
When I want to change local set in service mode, I only have EU_all or EU_only, not EU_france, I don't know if it matters.

Firmware is 3005.1 version, do I have to upgrade it ?

Change to EU_all and see what happens

I already tried EU_all, but I still only have UK and Ireland available.
I don't think it's a problem because search found all available channels..

So no problems in general?

No, but I don't know if channels starting from 800 are caused by country set to "UK".

I was wondering why I can't set a different country, as all firmwares are identical.

I found why I only had UK and Ireland !

Since the board was from UK, Tuner was set in SEC_T2, which is DVB-T2 TNT.
But DVB-T2 is only available in those countries, so...

I changed tuner to SEC_T, which is DVB-T, and now France is available !

Well done

Bad news...

When I select SEC_T tuner model, I can choose all Europe countries, but tuner doesn't receive any channels.
I have to go back to SEC_T2 and UK country.

Maybe SEC_T and SEC_T2 tuners are different and incompatible.

It's from a time DVB-T2 was only used/available in UK, demonstrating how Samsung "support the future"
