My Samsung UN55B8000XF quit, found a cracked brown, flat capacitor ,1 1/2 X 1 1/2cm. Could not find it in the web. Any suggestions?

you may need to check the capacity in uF of that capacitor and shop for that in Amazon or other electronic shop.

This kit will include a replacement cap to replace the blown out one in your unit. Be sure to test the set befor you put it back together. The blown cap may be a symptom not the cause of your problem.

If it's the power supply, it is likely to work. The symptom I had was that the tv would not turn on, and was flashing an error code in the red LED. And the capacitor kit was inexpensive, and it was easy to see the capacitors that were bad. With a little soldering experience, it is easy to replace the caps, and for me that solved the issue in the supply.

You can try to do what I did. I got it escalated to Executive Customer Relations (ECR). Their number is 1-800-522-7341. Its different from Samsung Customer Service. I have sent several emails to them though they claimed they never got my photos. I will persist in getting them to accept the fact their TV was faulty and should be repaired or fixed. My beef is the fact the repair center never bothered to come and inspect the unit. I see a class action suit coming down if there are more of these faulty units.

Same experience. Nice to look at but abruptly stopped working. After resetting the circuit breaker each time, an SE error code appeared briefly. The repair was considerably more than replacement. Wrote a letter to president of samsung after customer service said. Too bad. It is a few months out of warranty. Immediately got a response and after jumping through some hoops got a prorated refund. Good luck.

i have the LN46C630 model with same flickering problem occuring just after warranty expired. technician fixed it by cutting one "jumper" (metal wire about 1/2 inch long) located on the power supply circuit board. takes 5 minutes to fix. technician said samsung issued service bulletin that told repair techs how to fix it. you can do it yourself with a screwdriver, small wirecutters. i could send a photo if you wantok, not sure how to post the photo here, but here's what the technician did for $150...unscrew 17 screws, remove the back cover to the TVfind the power supply circuit board, that's the one your TV's power cord plugs into. On the power supply circuit board, upper left corner, to the right of and below the large 46", there is a metal jumper labelled JP852 that is no more than 2 cm in length. it connects something labelled 'Input rating' and another labeled 'COLD'. the technician used wire cutters and cut the JP852 jumper. that solved my flickering issue, TV works great now. tech said that every size TV in this class of samsung has the same design flaw and can be fixed like this. good luck. i would post a photo, but can't figure it out."&lt;/i&gt;

I had the same problem (clicking upon startup). I called Samsung (1-800-SAMSUNG) and after explaining the problem and mentioning that I saw reports of bad capacitors on the Internet, the representative setup a repair appointment. In a few days the tech arrived, replaced the capacitors with upgraded ones. No charge. Problem is fixed! Give them a call if you are having this issue. Nov. 2010.

Can't help with the model but it seems these DLP TVs are pretty generic across the Samsung line and they also seem to share the same faults. The bulb housing in mine fused to the ballast cable (melted) and I broke the cable terminal in removing the bulb housing. Thus the $65 ballast had to be replaced because you can't get the $20 cable separately and so I did replace both the bulb/housing and the ballast. These TVs run too hot for Samsung's little muffin fans. I now have an external fan plugged into the cable box blowing into the TV. This extra air flow has cured an intermittent audio issue. Google 'Samsung DLP TV crackling' and you will learn about the audio problem. Maybe it will show up in your TV.

I received a Samsung LN32A450 LCD today. It was listed as being an "open box" in "mint" condition. When I lifted the TV out of the box it sounded like there was gravel inside of it; not a good sign to say the least. Sure enough, it was DOA. I called Samsung Support to be safe. Amazon Customer Service was great and arranged for a pickup (at their expense) though warehouse deals cannot be exchanged; I had to start shopping all over again. There's no telling if it was already broken in the warehouse or if CEVA, a new (to USA) shipping company is to blame. For me, it was not worth trying to save $20-$50. My next purchase will be *new*.

If you call Samsung now they're aware of the problem and are taking care of it. My TV has been out of warantee for about a year now but they're sending a tech to fix it at no cost as long as it is indeed the capacitors that are faulty.

Ian,If the issue is that your Samsung TV won't turn on, which indicates you have the same issue with your model that I and others have had with different Samsung models, one or more capacitors in this kit may well work . . . if you feel you or a friend have the skills to replace the parts. However, there is just no way to guarantee it.My suggestion: Before ordering the kit, do a Google search for "Samsung LN52a650a1fxza won't turn on", or whatever your issue is, and see if the results apply to your situation.

I don't know. I went to the Samsung website to get the part number for the correct replacement chip.

Unfortunately, I didn't keep it long enough to look. I had a loose capacitor in the unit, and put it back in the box and returned it.

I don't know about that particular model. I did read that the samsung tv's that had capacitor problems were manufactured from 2006 to 2008. You need to open it up and see which capacitors went bad and buy those if they're not in this kit. I had to buy a different solder tool than what came with this because this one didn't get hot enough to do the job. I believe your clicking problem has something to do with bad capacitors or ones that are going bad. Hope this helps.

Not sure their for your specific T.V. My T.V. is from 2007/2008. The only way to be sure is to remove the back panel and check the power circuit board. You might want to see if any Samsung forums exist for your specific model online. Just be careful when opening your T.V. Let the capacitors dissipate the voltage before removing.

Mine did the same. I was warming up water in a glass bowl, the humming noise got really loud and the whole thing failed. Studies have shown 15% of all Samsung microwaves fail. The repair person (who wanted $350 to fix it) said she estimates 60% of Samsung microwaves fail after 5 years. Samsung decided to fix mine for free, but I'm very tempted to just get something else. Also, Samsung requires only Samsung parts be used in repair, so expect repairs to take longer and be more expensive. They're still working through mine, but know that fuses blew and the mag is probably bad. Sorry you may be in the same boat I am.

Call Samsung, they were very helpful. Unfortunately because the device was not "original" as stated in the description, I ended up returning mine. (Serial number on bottom of unit didn't match any numbers in the Samsung database, I wrote about this in my review). Sorry.

I also have the same problem with my UN46C6500. I have not contactedSamsung yet, but expect that the repair will be made free of charge, since the tv is only 6 months old.
