Samsung TV Repair

Postby Hunkerdown II » Tue Oct 21, 2014 1:19 pm

Not to bore everyone, but I have had a Samsung TV issue lately and research lead me to believe it was the capacitors. So, i recently switched them out. TV is still not working properly. If any of you have experience with this, let me know so I can see if you have any tips.

Thanks!

TV will turn on and off multiple times when you first turn it on.

sounds like the power. Weather that be the outlet, cord, or the power supply in the TV I am not sure.

Mine does the same thing. Took it down bought a new one and made the Samsung a tailgate tv. From my research it was a cap issue as well.

Google the problem. I replaced the capacitor in mine and I am not much of a tech! you have to put a bigger size and no more problem. Videos on YouTube also.

i googled it and watched youtube which is what lead me to the capacitor issue. When i took it apart, only one was blown, so I only changed the one. Do they work in pairs? meaning, did i need to replace them both? I still have 2 of them on the board, but one is new and one is the old but seemingly still good.

I just replaced the one on mine and it was obvious that it was bad. Bulged out on top.

There's a lawsuit out there on this issue. Samsung will replace it for free if it's within the affected time period. They replaced mine a year ago.
