Hi @max45 ,

Please give all relevant details such as make and model number of the TV, whether the Power light is on steady or blinks and if it blinks is there is a pattern to the blinks or not. Whether anything happened before the problem occurred such as a storm or a power failure etc.

Only the most relevant details are necessary. This will help others to help you.

Sounds like the standard symptoms resulting from the bad capacitors which plagued a number of Samsung TVs.

There was even a lawsuit that required them to fix the issue free-of-charge -- but it's no longer in effect.

If your TV matches any of the following models, then it's most likely what's causing the issue ...

  • LN-T******/XAA
  • LN**A******XZA
  • LNS4041DX/XAA
  • LNS4051DX/XAA
  • LNS4052DX/XAA
  • LNS5296DX/XAA

... even if it's a different model, it could still be the direct cause.

It's not horribly expensive to repair, and easy enough to do for anyone who's decent with a soldering iron.

  1. First, the back of the TV will need to be removed.
  2. Verify that there are one or more bulging capacitors and identify the values of them.
  3. Order capacitors with identical values online.
  4. Then, change them out.

Once they're replaced, it should work like new again.

Best of luck.
