Samsung S32D850T Monitor

November 9th, 2025

I have a Samsung S32D850T monitor with some issues - the power light LED will flash and the monitor will not turn on.  The problem is definitely in the power supply board (confirmed with swapping in a known good board).  Unfortunately, a replacement is not readily accessible.  Below are links about the monitor and board information.
