Samsung PN50A550 Power Cycling & Screen Distortion Issue

When turning the TV on after it has been off for a few hours, the picture does not appear and the TV cycles on and off until the picture displays properly. I didn't touch the remote after turning everything on at the beginning of the clip.

So, I replaced the y-main board and it made no difference. :( Not sure what I'm going to try next, but I'll keep you all updated here.

I have the same TV and the exact same problem. Did you ever find a resolution?... I want to start looking into getting mine fixed. Any tips our leads you might have would be great... the noise is going to give my guinea pigs a heart attack soon :)

@BillyLukes I haven't found a resolution yet, but I think I'm getting close. I tried replacing the power supply board and the main board, but that didn't help. So, I am assuming the issue is with the y-main, which I am going to try next. I'll post an update when I get around to it.

I have the same issue. CAN NOT find a confirmed fix online. Have you been able to fix yours?

AAAAAHHHHHHHWWW same tv and same issue. Not the easy and common capacitor problem most people have with Samsung.

I've been having this same problem. I just posted a video of my TV.

Samsung has been no help and told me they have not seen this problem with their plasmas.

@ckdisco I have the exact same problem, for now I just put the TV on a 20 minutes before I use it. If a y-sustain board works for you, I will probably try the same thing. Otherwise I will probably buy a new TV since a 55 inch can be had for around $500.
