This was a CFL unit, I didn't want to mess with those.On Thursday, July 6, 2017 at 10:53:10 AM UTC-4, amdx wrote:

The LCD/LED panel has broken. This is not worth an attempt to repair.
The replacement panel will cost more than a replacement TV. Send it back
or otherwise dispose of it.

Or sell the boards on ebay. List the model and part number for each board.
You may make enough to buy a new TV.
Hey, I listed three PCB's from the TV on Ebay on Sunday, I got offers
on two of them today. I ask $65 for each pcb, I got a $50 offer on one
and a $45 offer on the other. I accepted both rather than sending away a
buyer. Fedex has them now.

That's the good news... here's the bad:
A lot of people do their own diagnosing or follow someone's (alleged) success on youtube and always assume their TV has the same issue. What happens is they buy the wrong board, or the TV doesn't need a board at all if the display itself is bad or has an open LED in the display or a wiring issue inside.
Recent Samsungs are known for LED failures. It would not surprise me if you don't get a return request on one or both of those boards. My dad always told me not to count my chickens before they're hatched.
Good luck.
After I sold the first two pcb's I decided to list the third pcb.
It sold, but, it happened, the third pcb I sold is being returned.
Customer (a TV repair shop) says 'did not fix backlight problem'
The board worked when I removed it. I suspect poor trouble shooting or
I'm getting back a bad pcb. I did mark my pcb with my intials, so I'll
know if I get the same pcb back.
I posted a picture of my markings to ABSE and to my dropbox account,
this morning I also made a Ebay listing showing the picture of my
markings on the pcb. I used a very high price so no one will bid.
I hope I get back a different pcb. Today is the last day the seller
is supposed to ship it. No notice of shipping, I provided notice to
return on 6-28-17, he has had 6 business days to return.

A lot of TV "repair" facilities are guys we call "trunk monkeys"; repair shops operated out of the back of a car. These guys have no training and no state license, but just swap boards around hoping to run into a repair.
Yes, it was indeed poor troubleshooting on the buyer's end and now it's aggravation for you. Samsung LED failures are epidemic, and the repair shop should have known this. Most shops built their own LED testing tools years ago, but now anyone can buy a tester for LED strips that will light even give a voltage readout of the run voltage of any given strip at the tester's preset current limit, and do so without disassembling the display.
It's possible that the buyer made the return request in the hopes you would credit back the money and tell them to keep the board. It wouldn't surprise me if you don't hear from them again.
Too bad you also didn't remove the LED strips from the carcass before scrapping it. These bring good money and are in high demand.
