I have 32" samsung lcd

chang the electrolitics on the power supply top right most are 1000mfd 16 volt

hi,

it is the ip board (power board) capacitor had already exhusted. got to replace either the board or capacitor.

It would cost almost as much as this & as the price of Samsung's 32" screen have dropped in price it would be economical to buy a new TV. You could try to make a claim under your home insurance as accidental damage, this might recover some of the cost.

Call 1-800-Samsung to set up a warranty service call. They will repair it in your home if they send a Samsung Field Engineer. You probably have a bad Main bd.

Thats Samsung for you. They are designed to last just right outside the warranty then fail. Typically the LCD panels are bad, and they are the most expensive part on that Korean unit.

Try to check the connection from your HD reciever it could be a loose signal from the reciever that why the sounds cut out..

Tell me more.

Thanks

It's under warranty, call for service.

How old is your TV? If its more than six months old it more than likely has a thermal problem. This results from the fact that all lcd and plazma tvs never entirely power down and after six months or so depending on the model if they are suddenly devoid of power for even one hour they may not turn back on.
The power boards have a tendency to warp slightly after a period of time and after an hour or so with no power they shrink back do to contraction. As stupid as this sounds if your moderately mechanicaly inclined then remove the back cover and stand being careful not to scratch the screen. Get an ordinary hair dryer and without removing th RF shield ( metal cover ) gently heat the power supply till its hot enough to be uncomfortable to the touch. then try the power again. This should work temporarily
and isolate the problem. Good luck.

i have a samsung LCD tv 32 inch tv. when switched on the pic is seen for about one sec then goes off. when i change channels the audio changes but the screen is blank. every time i switch off and on the same thing is repeated there is no display on the screen looks like a back screen light fail . can the problem be sorted out by changing the inverter or the whole LCD panel needs to be changed? pl be free to answer.
