If your device turns on but the screen is black or if you when take a picture it comes out distorted or blurry, you may need to change the main board. A bad main board can also cause distorted sound or no sound at all.

How do you actually get the mainboard for replacement? Is it directly through Samsung?
Nevermind, the parts are available at Samsungparts.com.
I believe the particular part of interest is the AD92-02282A, although I'll write a followup if this is not correct.
I can now confirm the part is the AD92-02282A. Following this guide worked very well and saved me risking $800 on ebay for a used nx500.
i’ve been told that after replacing the mainboard the camera needs to be adjusted which could only be done by a professional workshop.
did you run into any problems with the new mainboard?
Where to get or address to obtain or purchase new board for replacement?
