When I try to turn on my Samsung LN-T4042H LCD HDTV it is now constantly clicking in a continuous loop and will not immediately turn on. It started out small- a few clicks yesterday morning. Today it literally took 13 minutes of constant clicking until finally it took hold and turned on. Now it will not turn on and it keeps clicking until I unplug the TV.
There is a problem with the power supply in your TV. The regulator switch is causing teh clicking sound you hear. In order to fix it, you will need to replace the power supply. This is done by taking off the back cover of the TV, locating the power supply which is usually a yellow board that will have many high voltage capicators on it and replacing it with a new one.

I have a LNT4042H Samsung Tv and it just started Jan. 1, 2010 going out a static noise and then a black screen (channel 03) still on left side of screen sometimes. Then after a while it comes back on. Sometimes the black screen says Weak or no signal. I have another TV in the bedroom working fine on cable but it doesnt have a box. Also have internet cable which is working fine. We have a DVD player hooked up to the tv that is not working and it works fine.. But the tv channels are not coming in.. sometimes just the voice is working and the picture is black. It seems the cable is working ok...But the tv keeps going off and on. TV is probably a couple years old. I have checked all the connections and they are fine...Help --Sally
