I dont know what this code means but could be display driver, main board etc.
If you ring samsung service centre in your area and tell them a code they should be able to give you an idea and a very rough idea on cost.

Replaced capacitors, though they were showing no obvious signs of failure. No change, standby light flashed 5 times then went out. No response to remote.
Phoned Samsung and they just referred me to local repair centre.Phoned them, didnt want to know unless I took it in and charged me £25 non refundable to diagnose.
Left TV couple of days, plugged it back in, no change...lol.Tv previously has switched itself on randomly which I believe was due to auto-software utility update soi thought I would leave set on to see if it tried that..Fiddled, (for the want of a better word) with remote and tv buttons while plugging in power lead and the standby light actually came on and STAYED on!.TV still would not come out of standby.Left it about 20 minutes and it switched itself on!. Now the standby light stays on and I can actually switch the TV on and Off now....? Could there be a dry soldered joint somewhere?. Anyway, dont know how long this will last but for the moment...ITS WORKING.
