Samsung 12YFHD320SL4LV0.2 Board for 32" LTJ320HN07-L Panel in UE32EH5300W, UE32EH5040W TVs

User question

QUE DISPLAY SAMSUNG 32 POLEGADAS É ESSE 12YFHD320SL4LV0.2

Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

  • The alphanumeric code 12YFHD320SL4LV0.2 is not a retail TV or monitor model.
  • It identifies a pair of driver / scan boards (“left” & “right” side-boards) and, in many service manuals, the T-CON sub-assembly that work with Samsung’s 32-inch Full-HD LCD panel family.
  • In practice it is mounted on the LTJ320HN07-L (and LTJ320HN07-K/HN08) 1920 × 1080 LED-back-lit panel, which Samsung used in several 2012-era televisions such as the UE32EH5300W, UE32EH5040W, UE32EH5450, UE32EH5000, UA32EH5000, UA32EH5300 and close derivatives.

Key points
• Size : 31.5 in (advertised as 32 in)
• Resolution : 1920 × 1080 (FHD)
• Interface : 8-lane LVDS, 60 Hz, Vcom-DAC on board
• Back-light : Edge-LED, 3-channel, 105 V typ.
• Typical use : Samsung series EH5xxx TVs (2012), a few later re-badged models


Detailed problem analysis

  1. Decoding the string
    • 12Y – board design family released in 2012 (Samsung/Amtran joint layout convention)
    • FHD – Full-HD timing (1920 × 1080)
    • 320 – 32-inch panel class
    • S/L4L – Side board, Left (“SL”) revision 4, LVDS signalling (“LV”)
    • V0.2 – HW/PCB revision 0.2

  2. Where it sits in the panel electronics
    The LTJ320HN07-L is an “open-cell” LCD module delivered with an edge-LED back-light, but without the timing controller (T-CON); instead, Samsung integrates the T-CON together with the left- and right-gate driver boards on one long PCB that runs across the top of the glass. The service part number for that PCB set is what you see on the sticker: 12YFHD320SL4LV0.2 / 12YFHD320SR4LV0.2 (left & right halves).

  3. Service documentation cross-references
    • Samsung parts database lists BN96-21452A (or –21452B) as “BOARD P-TCON; 12YFHD320SL4LV0.2”
    • Same board appears in UE32EH5300W service manual, section “Panel Parts List → FHD 32”

  4. Electrical specification (excerpt from panel datasheet)
    – Logic supply: 12 V ±0.3 V, 0.6 A typ.
    – LED driver input: 90-140 V, 160 mA (three series strings)
    – LVDS mapping: JEIDA-24bit, 8 lanes, clock 74.25 MHz

  5. Mechanical interchangeability
    Samsung sourced secondary 32″ FHD cells from CSOT (V320BJ6-PE1) and AUO (T320HVF05.x). Those use different T-CONs (names start with 32Txx or 13Yxxx). Hence 12YFHD320SL4LV0.2 is only compatible with LTJ320HN0x panels; mixing boards will result in a dark or garbled screen.


Current information and trends

  • 32″ TV panels have largely shifted to open-cell + external T-CON layouts and often use eDP instead of LVDS.
  • Samsung Display stopped in-house production of small/medium a-Si TFT-LCD in 2020; panels of this class are now typically supplied by BOE, CSOT or HKC.
  • For repairs, the availability of LTJ320HN07-L and its 12YFHD… boards is declining; refurbished pulls and NOS stock are the main sources.

Supporting explanations and details

Example workflow when this board fails:
1 ) TV turns on → back-light lit → no video or vertical coloured bands.
2 ) Measure 12 V on the T-CON supply fuse → OK.
3 ) Oscilloscope on LVDS clock lines shows activity, yet panel blank → suspect 12YFHD320SL4LV0.2.
Replacement requires removing the metal frame bezel, unclipping the side PCBs and transferring COF ribbons carefully to avoid glass damage.


Ethical and legal aspects

  • Samsung firmware and service manuals are copyrighted; distribute only excerpts necessary for repair.
  • Ensure ESD protection when handling bare LCD glass—latent damage is a frequent cause of repeat failures.
  • Counterfeit boards labelled “12YFHD320…” appear on online marketplaces; always verify supplier reputation.

Practical guidelines

• Always order the exact revision (0.2, 0.3, etc.).
• Match the panel suffix (-L / ‑H) printed on the glass; mixed versions can shut down due to Vcom mismatch.
• Perform a panel ID read-out via I²C (service jig) before replacing parts to avoid mis-identification.
• After replacement, run the built-in aging pattern (white-black-colour cycle) for ≥30 min to equalise Vcom.


Possible disclaimers or additional notes

  • Some UE32EH5300 units were shipped with AUO T320HVN02.1 panels; in that case the correct T-CON part is 13YFHD32…—not interchangeable.
  • If glass is cracked, replacing only the board will not restore functionality; entire panel must be swapped.

Suggestions for further research

  • Compare Samsungs’ 12Y-series board schematics with later 14Y/eDP designs to study the migration from LVDS to eDP.
  • Investigate gate-driver-on-array (GOA) failures on LTJ320HNxx panels; common in field returns.
  • Explore aftermarket adaptive boards that allow cross-branding of 32″ FHD open-cells with generic T-CONs (RTD-based).

Brief summary

The code 12YFHD320SL4LV0.2 belongs to the driver/T-CON board set used on Samsung’s 32-inch Full-HD LCD module LTJ320HN07-L (and close variants). That panel, driven via 8-lane LVDS, equipped many 2012-era Samsung EH5xxx televisions such as UE32EH5300W and UE32EH5040W. When you encounter this code you are looking at an internal service part, not a consumer model; replacing or diagnosing it requires matching the exact panel family and PCB revision.
