My Samsung plasma that unfortunately is already out of warranty just broke. When you turn it on then everything seems perfectly fine but after just a couple of minutes it turns off itself and starts making a clicking sound like (just like when you turn it on / press the power button). Sometimes it doesn't turn on and you have to unplug the power to stop that clicks. Funny thing but after few cycles like that, it works just fine for hours, basically until you don't turn it off manually. Unfortunately, today it doesn't even want to turn on and just clicks and clicks... Does anyone have / had similar problem and what was the damage (meaning $) and basically what was the problem? I heard it could be just old firmware and even tried to update it (when it was still working) but my tv did not recognized it. I have already scheduled a service so I just want to prepare...
Thanks!
Had the same problem, same tv... bad connection on a transistor....
There is a quick fix on this that Samsung is paying for the repairs
whether 1 month old or 4 years old. Thought I would send this since there are a lot of posts on this issue.
Called
Samsung and they took care of the issue (so far) I have a Model
LN-T5271F (52" LCD) purchased 1/12/08. It's well out of warranty, but I
guess the capacitor issue I've been reading about is covered under a
limited warranty/settlement.
Samsung just lost the lawsuit for
the 10V rated capacitors they put on 12V power-board. The capacitors
ramp up the current to turn on the TV, and rated too low, eventually
fail. It's for certain models.
Go to
http://www.samsung.com/us/capacitorsettlement/
or 888-899-7602
You may be able to get the TV repaired for free.
The
clicking is the retry on the power board after it fails. It will
continually try to turn on, but the capacitors have trouble supplying
the required voltage. To check yourself, remove the back, you'll see bad
capacitor tops bowed upward, maybe some black tar leaking also. They'll
be labeled 10V on a 12V rated board.
A proposed Settlement
has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving certain Samsung
televisions. In cooperation with the District Court of Oklahoma County,
Samsung Electronics America, Inc. is offering a settlement for certain
Samsung-branded televisions manufactured prior to December 31, 2008. You
may be entitled to receive the benefits of this proposed Class Action
Settlement if you purchased, acquired or otherwise owned any of the
following Samsung-branded televisions, and the television is
experiencing or has experienced the "Covered TV Symptom(s)" as described
in the proposed Settlement. The class action lawsuit alleges a defect
that may cause the television to experience symptoms such as not turning
on, experiencing a delay in turning on, making a clicking sound,
cycling on and off, or other similar problems. Samsung denies the
allegations in the lawsuit, but has agreed to settle the lawsuit to
avoid the costs and uncertainty of continued litigation.

My samsung does the samething. TV is 3 yrs old. Repair guy said, it needs a new computer board. Said, that about 75% can be repaired if you can see what the problems is on the board. But the others show no sign so has to replace the whole board at $175.00 for the board and total cost around $300.00.
My 52" Samsung is less than 2 years old and I'm having the same problem. It started soon after the warrenty ran out. Some day's it works fine, but other times it keeps clicking on and off and won't come on for day's. Samsung told me it was the circut panel. I see now many Samsung owners are having the same problem. I'm going to call again. I think they need to do a re-call,or atleast make the repair for out of warrenty sets.
my samsung 50 inch plasma was shutting off and on replaced one capacitors on the board cost me 3 bucks, bad cap looked swollen compared to the others check it with a meter and it confirmed it. unsolder the bad cap installed the new one and all is well

I have the same issue with a hp-p5581 I am calling Samsung tonight it is less than 6 months out of the warranty.
Has anybody ever had them repair outside of the warranty?
I am having the issue with the TV just clicking I called Samsung and they will not continue unless I am next to the TV. I am going to call them when I get home. I have had it since April 07 and it is just out of the warranty. Has anyone had any luck getting one these fixed out of the warranty period?
I am having the same problem with my plasma. After speaking with a representative, I was informed that they had not heard of any other complaints about the tv clicking off and on and told me to contact repair.
I have the same probelms with my tv it's 4 years old. Just keeps clicking and I called Samsung and they told me I could get it fixed by them but it's out of warranty and I would have to pay.

Anyone? ;)
I have the same exact problem occuring exactly the same time. It started with the on off ticks just before it was out of warranty. I ignored it thinking it was just synching with my universal remote. about 6 months of this clicking and now it wont turn on. It just sits there going on and off. I heard online that this TV was manufactured in the Phillipeans and this is a faulty piece. They will not do a recall because they have 2 million units out there. They just fix on a need to basis. I am currently working with Samsung. They seem to get scared and do things your way when you start bringing up these details. I am now in tough with executive care. We will see what happens.
Me too, but I'm not paying for their service call. Â How can we get them to fix this since it is obviously not a simple wear and tear issue?
I also have a Samsung HP-R4262 Plasma and it has the same problem. The TV keeps clicking but no picture. The problem will come and go every few days.
I have the exact same problem. I wake up and turn my TV on, a few minutes later it turns on and off by itself for 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it starts to "click" real bad like it's trying to turn itself on and off very fast.
Seems to only happen when the TV has just been turned on (before and after work). Good thing mine is under warranty until December 2010.
I have the same problem it wont come on and just makes a clicking noise. does anyone know how to fix it?
