Samsung lnt4042hx/xaa 40in lcd tv wont turn on

I have a samsung lnt4042hx/xaa 40in lcd tv and for a while it was, what i think ppl call, cycling. making clicking noises and taking a long time to turn on until it finally did. now it wont turn on at all just clicks once but nothing happens. ideas before i take it in?

    My Flatscreen is doing this Cycling thing, it's when i try to turn it on it clicks several times like its trying to turn. Eventually it turns on but im sure one of these times its not going to.

I concur with Lightnbaby.... had same problem... my TV LNT4042HX/XAA took 10 min to start sometimes... the capacitors on the power supply board had bubbles on top 4 of them all 10/1000Uf. Samsung wanted to charge $220+ to have a guy come out and fix. J&J parts (samsung vendor) wanted $108 for a new board. I replaced the 4 capacitors for $4.68 and the TV works fine now!!!!!

  • Pattym782 Aug 30, 2010

    Can you tell me what size capacitors you used to replace old ones? I have the same tv model and need to replace them as well for the same problem...

  • jon15872 Nov 28, 2010

    I have the same model with the same clicking issue. where do you buy the capacitors at and is there any diagrams showing how to replace them?

Just an FYI: I called and Samsung is sending a repair tech out to replace the Power Supply for free as part of a Class Action lawsuit:

When you turn on the TV it takes about 20 to fully turn on. sometimes we get pink lines on the screen.

CHECK POWER SUPPLY BOARD ...OR REPLACED
POWER BOARD NO:

3 year old Samsung 40 inch LCD TV will not turn on

The problem is 4 capacitors on the power supply board. Just had mine done under warranty. They (Sears) replaced the whole power board but you can get larger capacitors and just replace those for alot cheaper if not under warranty.

SAMSUNG TV WONT TURN ON JUST CLICKS

I just fixed this very same problem. The capacitors are the problem. However, I think that if you have some minimal skills with soldering, you can fix this yourself. You just need to take out the system board, then the power supply parts are on the top right. The bad capacitor(s) will be bulging at the top and possibly have some brown stuff coming out. The ones that go bad are 1000microfarad, 10V, however you can replace them with higher voltage. I got 35V caps from radio shack for 1.59 each. You just need to solder out the bad ones and then put the new ones in and solder. Remember that the negative end goes on the side with the bold black part of the circle on the system board. Then just cut off the extra ends of the capacitors. If you are capable of doing this yourself, you will spend at most 6 dollars instead of however much a technician costs.

I have LNT4042HX\XAA. When I try to turn power on, I get many clicks (on and off). Never turns on. What to do?

You probably have a bad Power Supply and or a bad Main bd. Have a trained Samsung tech troubleshoot the set.

Tv doesn`t start

Howdy,
It sounds like you have a Power Supply Board problem. The PSB is the center Board (towards left) after you remove the back off the TV. Remove Board from TV with the 6-7 screws. Replace capacitors CM811, CM812, CM817 & CS806; 1000ufd 25volts. The board on left, you will see the cap tops are swollen.

Thanks for using FIXYA, BIG IRISH.
