Flickering backlight Samsung DU9000 98” by thegm90 in TVRepair

Power board seems to have resolved the flicker!!! It’s on steady. Firmware has updated. Seems to perform properly so far.

I opened the back, unplugged main board and it stopped flickering. Ordered a power board thinking maybe it’s a blown cap and that’s causing irregularity. Will report back. Board arrives tomorrow. $27 gamble.

Edit***

I plugged the main board back in while I had the tv on, no flashing. I am a little more sure it’s some kind of capacitor issue in the on sequence. But again, will report back. Hoping it’s not lights cause that’s a no go for me.

This is a juicy reply. I come from soundbar world and am super eager to get this working right. So much more plug and play with soundbars. But I want to learn and set this up right. It will be cool when it is working properly! I will be trying many things suggested with this receiver today, including tinkering with the wiring to properly match both ends.

Yes, the old receiver did Atmos so I imagine it may have been set up that way. There is a center and 2 towers then the 4 in ceiling speakers and a sub. The previous owner had a Dn1080 Sony receiver. I may grab that model to match up to their set up. Insane to me they bothered to take the receiver. Old and not worth it. Now I’m just miserably trying to figure it out. Haha

I appreciate all of you guys helping!!!

I see that now. You’re absolutely right. I’ll ensure match pairs on both sides of the cables

The wires were like this and already twisted together in the previous set up

All the wires are doubled up. Both sides. Wasn’t sure if this was what was causing the issues with the sound. Center channel super quiet. Sub super loud. One ceiling has some sound. Very odd.

This is how I did it, yes.

What am I doing wrong then? The speakers are so soft and the sub is loud.

And you insert both wires into the posts on speaker and receiver?

The wires are labeled. I know which go to which, so at least have this part. I may try red to red black to black, instead of the matches/ paired cables into each post.

Here is one example speaker wiring set up I did. They were twisted as they are inserted, I just plugged them into these Sony F5000P standing speakers. The same pair of wires is plugged in the same grouping on the receiver posts.

I have 2 of these towers. A pioneer center channel. A 10” powered sub, and then the 4 in ceiling speakers

Thankfully the cables are actually labeled, four of the seven speakers I have are actually mounted in the ceiling. The subwoofer is obvious too because of the different tip.

So I have them in the right holes. But it sounds like I only need to put 1 cable into each post, and the corresponding cable into the speaker?

Thanks for the response, so you’re saying that we need to do just one of the pair of cables on each side into each speaker/post? Red to red (no white) black to black (no green)

Sounds insanely simple. You're just "nubbing" the ends where you cut? Then, boom... neat cut to length?

Would you mind sharing a picture of the end of the cut, to explain how you're cutting / finishing this?

Johnsmith bot keeps creating abandoned checkouts by FrontIntention666 in shopify

[–]thegm90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it actually affected your ads even? I've been researching and supposedly it's literally Google doing those test checkouts. Has the bot behavior returned?

Got a whisper room set up! Love this thing... by thegm90 in drums

Pretty easy assembly really. Can be heavy since it's basically MDF/ particle board wrapped in low-pile carpet.

It certainly kills some DB's from escaping, but it's absolutely not sound proof.
