My 3-year old samsung hp-t4264 started cutting off after a few minutes and makes a clicking noise. We can't watch anything as it only runs for a few minutes. Have unplugged trying the reset but this doesn't work either.

I would suggest you take it to a service center , sounds like an internal problem .

had the same exact problem. The customer service people at samsung were **** and had no clue. After doing some research I narrowed ti down to two potential problems. First one was check for the blown capacitors on the power suplly board. You can find lots of forums on this and is a very well known problem with samsung. Second, which was my fix, is try the firmware update for your TV from the samsung website. The rpoblem was fixed in 30 seconds and no money spent. The clicking and tv on and off problem is gone. Good Luck.

I had the same problem. Fix it using the firmware update from Samsung Website. The customer support people are ****. They said it would caost be 500 to fix it.

the problem on ur tv is the main signal board , replace main signal board

No way, Jose!
Those bastards manufactures are always making sure you won't be able to use parts from one model to the other. Especially-display! LCD panels could be rigged, but no plazma's. Sorry!
Sell it for parts to some repair shop and get yourself LCD or LED panel. Plazma is gone!

Your power supply is probably bad. Here is a link from a Samsung tech manual that helps to trouble shoot the problem and fix it. http://www.mediafire.com/?kmyydjk2mil

Reset to factory specifications by turning tv on, and then using the remote, hit power off, mute key, 1, 8, 2, and power on. Interval between key strokes is less than 3 seconds. When tv comes back on it shows Service Mode Display, key up to reset and press enter. Was able to autoprogram without any problems.

Hi,

if you have ice buildup then the fridge may be low on freon.
or there is dust clogging around the pump or fan is not running.
remove the bottom or back and look around the compressor.
see that the fan is running.
