Replacing capacitors If I leave the tv on all night it takes hours to turn on

You probably have one or more burned-out electrolytic capacitors in the power supply. Any competent electronic technician can replace them. The capacitors are usually priced between $0.40 and $2.00 at major electronic component distributers such as Digi-Key or Mouser Electronics. Make sure the replacements are selected for long life, high temperature rating and high ripple current. I use Panasonic FR1 series or United Chemi-con EKZN series capacitors for this application.

Burned-out electrolytic capacitors usually have the top of the can domed out instead of flat, and may have brown or black stuff leaking out of the vent scores. The photo below shows two typical capacitors with black plastic sleeves around the can. The one on the left is good, the one on the right is bad.

your power supply needs new capacitors!

Tries tv unplug,replug it back like about an hour later for the tv to do it resetting itself back to the factory setting,tv might work again.If not still same problems.The tv 90-95% it is the board that call the tv power supply board is having a problems.That the board where the tv power a/c cord plug into it.U have all tools and know basic electronic and also can do basic soldering works too?Yes,take the tv aparts,check the tv power supply board carefully for dying and soon to be dead capacitors components parts.These capacitors components parts are alway bulges up or puffing up onto it tops.These dying and soon to be dead capacitors components parts are bulges or puffing ups on to it tops must have to be replaced will solved ur tv power unstable and flashing red light.Or try website like Ebay.com to buy a whole new refurbish tv power supply board for the replacement.

Take the tv back cover apart,check the tv power supply board,that the board where the power a/c cord plug into it.Check all over the power supply board,for dying parts call capacitors.The dying capacitors are alway bulging or puffing ups on it tops.U have all the tools and understanding basic electronic also can do basic soldering?Yes.Repalces all those dying capacitors,with new capacitors with same Micro Ferid but the voltages higher like 5 or 10 voltges for better heat resistance.Or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Had a fair bit of experience with these

Normally the Electrolytic capacitors in the SMPS dry out.
and when you power up the tv after a while the cap gives up dropping a supply rail causing supply to shutdown turning off tv.

2 ways of fixing this:

1. Take to Local Service Agent or electronics repair shop and explain that its the capacitors (they won't think your dumb and charge you heaps!)

2. If your feeling confident power down and disconnect from wall power..
leave for a hour or so to let the main capacitors discharge.

next take off the back cover and have a look for the SMPS PCB
it should be dead centre on the back of the screen and have large heatsinks onboard..(Aluminium fin looking things).

now scan the board for any faulty capacitors. and good capacitor looks like:

A Faulty Capacitor looks like but not limited to:

You'll notice that the good capacitors are flat topped and clean
any bad capacitors will have bluged tops or there insides hanging out!
then all you need to do is de-solder and replace with new capacitors.
whole job should take about 4 hours for a beginner and about $10 worth of capacitors

hope this helps,ben

my tv wont turn on makes clicking noise and there is a green light in the back flickering

Yes. Flashing LED with no image on the screen is the first sign of the power supply gets overloaded. That may be caused by blown/shorted electrolytic capacitors. Open the monitor, take metal lid off and observe for those caps which are rounded on top. Replace them with proper ones.

My TV had a simular issue...delayed power-on with repetitive clicking. I found a post at Techreport.com about bad capacitors on the power board. This and other Samsung models seem to have an issue with these components failing. I replaced the capcitors myself last night, and the tv is now working perfectly. Cost me about $15 in parts and an hours time. Hope this helps!

Is the light blinking 7 times on front of TV ? If u take the back cover of the TV off you should see two leds on the bottom right of power supply turn on when u push the power button. When the TV go into error protection on the upper left of power supply you should see. A blinking green light. Please inform me of the error it flashes and ill will be able to help further. ( Serveral possiblilties it could be from audio, bad power,and faulty Y-main.)

Spounds like the b+ feed filter capacitor off the flyback that supplys voltage to the three drive transistors on the crt board is bad.
