If you did find puffed up caps and replaced them consider replacing the power board as there may be other bad parts on it.

SOURCE: Samsung TV won't turn on- trying to fix it. A challenging problem

I had the same problem. I live in NJ and called the local authorized "service provide" listed on the Samsung website. What a joke. Quoted $350 just to show up, never showed up. So I opened my own TV. Took off the plastic back (10 screws) took off the large metal RF shield (12-14 screws) and noticed a blown component. The markings on the component were KL15L and it is apparently an NTC Thermistor. Obviously it got fried and not knowing if there was other damage I decided to set out to replace the entire Power PCB Board Assembly and not the component. There were two part numbers on the assembled board (BN97-00457E & BN94-00622E). After searching online I also found a suitable replacement number for these (BN96-04896A). I found two places who claimed to have the part or have it on order (shopjimmy.com and vancebaldwin.com). After placing orders with both and having neither come through, I broadened my search and found out that the LNR409D was basically the same model as my LNR408D so I looked for its Power PCB Board Assembly part number which turned out to be BN41-00521B. Google search for that part number showed the item available on ebay. I bought it a week ago (ebay 260311519904) for $144 plus $12 shipping. I removed the bad board an hour ago (6 screws about 7 connectors) installed the new one, plugged in the connectors, replaced the covers, plugged in the TV... AND IT WORKS!
Suggestion: If your TV is out of warranty then open it up (what have you got to lose) and see if the problem is obvious and maybe something you can fix (replace) yourself. The parts, spare boards, etc. are out there if you look.

SOURCE: Samsung LCD TV doesn't power on, just blinks 5 times

After about 5 years the Samsung LCD televisions backlight fails which prevents the TV from coming on and the powerlight just flickers the backlight can be changed but it is often alot easier and cheaper to buy a new Television

SOURCE: My Samsung LCD tv clicks over and over again but won't power on

this is common fault the capacitors have blown on main power board you can replace your self if got soldering iron
take back off tv and look for capacitors that have RAISED TOPS they look like little batteries with white line on one side and numbers (e.g 2000mf 25v ) the best way to remember which way they go back is take picture
you can get parts from charles hyde and sons web site (CHS) under general components or at a electronic shop

SOURCE: I have a Samsung LCD model#LN-T5265F and my tv is

Hey, i am now having the same problem as most ppl with the Samsung TVs. I have a LNT-5265F which I bought in 2008 (so only 2yrs old). It now only makes a clicking noise (blank screen). The clicking noise is roughly every 3 secs. Based on research I believe it is the bad capacitors issue. Can someone tell me if the power supply board is still under warranty? Also, what type of capactitors are recommended to buy for replacement? and worst case what is the p/n for a new power supply board for my model?
Also, I watched the videos showing you step by step on how to perform the repair on your own, but little bit confused about the "Hot" vs "cold" on the board? Sorry for all the questions. Thank you!

I've replaced every board on the samsung plasma and still clicks

What do you mean by clicks? Plasma televisions are hot cathode ray, there is thermal expansion that takes place due to heat.

Clicking sound on LCD TV mostly from incorrect voltage supply for main board, that problem because some part damage or short. Capacitors can make this problem. If you have electricity experience , you can open the rear cover than see if any damage part or blown. For detail Try this.

Hi, My SAMSUNG LE40R88BDX/XEU LCD 40'', isnt working! When you turn the TV on it sounds like someone is constantly turning it on and off with the remote, as its making a constant switching on and off...

It sounds like the power supply board has some bad capacitors that need to be replaced. Samsung is covering the cost to repair this problem on some models. You can call 1-800-samsung to find out if your unit is covered.

Clicking sounds and delay when turning on lcd tv LE52M86BD

Hi

A common fault with this model is bad capacitors in the power supply, Remove the back from your tv and look at the power supply for bulged / swollon capacitors on top, they may even leak a brown like substance and should have a value of around 1000uf 10v
Change these where possible with the same uf but higher voltage lets say 1000uf 25/35v
Hope this helps

My samsung lcd tv is clicking and wont turn on

Its a common problem with many Samsung LCD TVs. We had the same problem on our Samsung TV. Based on some info on the net we called Samsung Support department ( 1-800-SAMSUNG). After describing the problem and mentioning that I have read on the net that its a common problem, representative asked for the model number and serial number of the TV ( I read them to her from a sticker on the side of TV). The Samsung Rep acknowledged that it was a common problem for my model and few other LCD models and they were fixing the problem without any charge to customer eve though TVwas out of warranty. She took the required info and gave me the ticket/transaction number and forwarded it to a local technician. Technician called next day and setup the appointment with us. Technician came within the 4 hr window that he had promised and changed the faulty capacitor on the power board and was done within 10 mins. Samsung rep had indicated that the technician will determine if the issue was with capacitor or not. If the issue was something else then tecnician will charge the regular service charge to fix the issue.

Samsung LCD tv wont turn on

what the full model number of your tv?
the clicking sound is the result of a faulty power supply, some capacitors(blown heads) on the power supply for the output voltage rail of the mains board need to be replaced.

pls rate me!
