Caps wont go bad in a 2 year old TV. You probably have a shorted LED in the backlight. I would start there.

    I do warranty work for several makes and have seen capacitors bad in sets that were a couple months old, some of the Chinese caps are really bad quality manufactures are using

  • rostit Feb 02, 2018

    I never saw this model listed in the database for counterfeit or substandard caps. At least not this model and series. Id expect that in an older series but not a flagship SUHD. Interesting.

    So I put my DMM on the output of the power supply. Printed on the board, it says standby is 8V, and On is 13V. Meter shows On = 12.83V and STB = 9.0. Seems like the Power supply board is ok. Most of the online posts say most likely cause is the main board, but I'd like to confirm somehow......

    Turns out it WAS the power supply board. Shorted diode. LED's don't usually go out that soon......lots of advice on the internet, most of it wrong. Other people said it had to be the main board. Right.

It is the lamp cover. There is a switch behind it and the post on the cover will slip off the switch. If this switch is not depressed, the tv will go off. No lamp light flashing or anything

SOURCE: Samsung TV clicking and won't come on

Did you find out if that would solve the problem? I was really excited to learn that all I needed to do was change out the capacitors but after installing 4 it continued to click. I to removed the cover to the and found the relay where the noise is coming from

In almost all cases where the set is taking a long time to turn on and then turning off it will be the Power Supply board that will have bulging capacitors, usually three to five. Look on the upper right side of the Power Supply and look for any blown caps. You can replace these caps and you will be fine. Now the other cause can be the Power Switch is shorting out. You can disconnect the the Power Switch but not the IR sensor and then turn ON the set with your TV remote and see if this stops the problem. If you are not skilled in component level repair on the Power Supply board then buy a new Power Supply board and install it.

Call Samung customer service, they are doing this repair for free. I had the same problem at 11 months, they replaced the power supply board under warranty. At 2 years I had the exact same problem again and this time they replaced 2 - 50 cent capacitors on the power supply board. It took the repair man less than an hour and he had the replacement capacitors on hand. The original board and the replacement board they gave me had capacitors that were faulty. Hopefully these new capacitors will last. I have to say that I was thinking (no more samsung products for me) but I got excellent customer service and they admit that they had a faulty product and they accepted responsibility.

Samsung TV won't turn on. Red light is solid, won't blink when pressed. All capacitors seem fine (none swollen or vented).

That model is covered under a class actions lawsuit settlement over bad power supply boards. You need to contact Samsung about this and get a warranty claim started, even if the original warranty is over the settlement terms will cover parts and labor. You can get additional information about this along with contact information here: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/samsung-has-reached-a-settlement-in-class-action-lawsuit-over-faulty-tv-power-supplies/

I have a Samsung 52 LCD TV about 2-1/2 years old. Start clicking about 10-12 times then it turns on. today I turn it on and it just keeps clicking and will not turn on? any Ideas.

The power supply board it is dying and most likely causes by weak and dying capacitors parts bulges up or puffing up leaking.The power supply board,that the board where the power a/c cord plug into it.U have all the tools,understanding basic electronic also can do basic soldering work?Yes check the power supply board carefully replaced all dying to be dead capacitors parts or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

The tv is 2 years old. it would turn off after turning on by itself. this happened for 2 days. it would stay on afetr you turned it on a couple times. then the next day wouldnt turn on at all

Had the same issue with my Vizio Plasma VP322HDTV10A. At power up it would turn on and off a number of times before it would stay on. In thinking it might be the power cord, I pulled it out and replaced it with a spare I had and it would not power up what so ever. I opened up the case and traced the the internal power coord to it's source and this lead to the main power supply board. I found three capacitors on this board with buldges on them (which the tops of the capacitors should be flat). I found a web side (SHOPJIMMY.COM) which had the parts I needed to repair the TV myself. the following is how much it cost to replace the needed parts

Samsung TV turns itself off every 10/15 minutes

I had a similar problem with my Phillips 42 in. LCD HD TV.

Here's the problem. The Power Supply Board. I opened my TV up(warranty was up of course) and found several bad capacitors. Phillips and several other companies were sold capacitors that although were highly rated failed within 5 years because of a lack of preservatives. All sorts of electronic equipment is now being effected due to these defective capacitors.
Solutions?
1. Take it in and have it fixed
2. Open it up, check the board for faulty capacitors(bulged or leaking) Buy a new Power supply board and install it.
3. Remove PSB, remove faulty capacitors and replace with compatible new ones.

Hope this helps
