Hi @samsungue48.

I am an engineer and this television (UE48JS500T) is my personal property, It is  now a two year old set with a value of at most only       £4 or £5 hundred pounds. I wish to keep it going a while longer but I am unable to obtain service information to enable me to repair it. The set having failed and become 'Dead' The obvious thing was to suspect the power unit.

I therefore obtained a new one, but it blew the fuse which indicated a short in the remaining circuit. I would appreciate any help or advice which would point me in the direction of the problem as i have no information relating to the location of components or panels.

Moderator's advice to contact Samsung's service department has not produced any results and I live in hope that some one else, in the forum who has had simlar problems may eventualy notice my etry and reply.
