My Samsung LCD screen does not turn on because of...

The stangest thing happened to me: I usually watch movies from my PC on my TV troug a regular VGA cable. Usually when my pc goes on sleep mode, my TV follows, and then wake's 10sec after my PC. Now, I just installed Windows 7 on my PC and as soon as my PC went on Sleep mode, there was no more way for me to turn on the TV. I've tryed everything! No f* way to turn it on! and it's not burned or anything! Just on sleep mode.. forever.. help? this is a Samsung TV that I've paid close to 1K in store less than a year ago... I've unplugged all cables in the back, left the TV close to 3 hours unplugged and still nothing! I'm now waiting for an answer from Samsung....

@MeliSpirit : Hey Meli, mine broke down 3 times since I've had it (about 3 years now). So last time, I was tired of bringing the TV to the shop Samsung recommends. After watching a few videos on the same issue on Youtube and reading some comments, I told myself I should try changing the capacitors for some higher quality and Rh or Rf ones like most of the ppl suggest. So I did, I went and purchased all the tools and capacitors, got everything for about 30$ and followed the instructions.

@MeliSpirit : .... since I've repaired it myself, no issues, started working right away and it seems to work like a charm. you see the light flashes now 5 times instead of 3, so I guess it can pack more power or something... I'm not an expert but I managed to fix it and I was very happy with myself. So I suggest you give it a try if you are out of warranty, before spending 150$ on a repair... Let me know how it works out for you. Peace!

@drew7721 @drew7721 I really hope that you get this message I have the clicking issue when my tv is trying to turn on & it does it over and over I have been told by a repair man that it is the capacitiors &he said it would be $150. I have a friend who is able to fix this for me but I don't know what kind of capacitiors to buy or where to buy them. Can you please tell me there you got your capacitiors and what kind to buy? THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I look forward to hearing from you.~ Mrs. Willis

@davidandkaytywillis Hi, I guess it all depends where you are. I'm from Montreal, so here there is this small electronics shop called AddTronique that sells all kinds of little electrical tools and stuff to fix stuff... But I'm sure a place like FutureShop or any electronics sore might have it. Maybe a google search from your are might get you the needed results. I would like to do more... Hope this helps!

have the same problem, did you fix yours?

[drew7721]

@selektajahmaica ....... but I got this repair CO next to me that fixed my tv the 2nd time around and they gave me back the TV without screwing any of the screws in the back of the TV. Front-half of the Tv almost fell off once I had it mounted on the wall... so be carefull... inscept well before taking your TV out of the repair shop !!! Good luck! Drew
