Have 50" Samsung with much talked about clicking. I did YouTube and got the back off, but none of the capacitor cylinders look bulging or bad. next?

Call Samsung directly. There might be either a service bulletin or a specific part replacement option...as there was with the capacitors on mine. In my case, cost of repair was covered completely by Samsung.

Well, I had the same problem. The technician came to my house and replaced the capacitors. The TV still has problem but the technician asked me for $ 95 for home visit and since it doesn't seem to be capacitor problem so Samsung will not cover it. Samsung customer service is very unfriendly and won't help with this.

Best bet is to take the TVs apart - find the bulged out capacitors and replace them with a higher rating capacitor - that's what I did on mine and it has being going strong ever since!There are lots of videos on YouTube about replacing the capacitors, and also a lot of people who have no respect for Samsung because of this issue!

Possibly defective. Had the same problem. I contacted the seller and got a replacement which seems to work fine. It could also be a problem with your TV interfacing with the adapter. My experience is that my old 46" Samsung TV will have issues during playback vs. a newer 32" Sony TV where it works well.

Well I too recently ordered the LNT4661F and sure enough, it snap, crackles and pops when you turn it on and off. I'll be calling Samsung on Monday to have someone come out and look at it. I just hope its as easy as replacing the power supply. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks, i wound up pulling the cover over the screws. Damaging it. Screws appeared 2 b sodered down. Wound up getting a Samsung s5. I will work on the nexus n my spare time. I hope the motherboard is not going bad.

I just purchased the Sony HT-7000DH and hear a clicking sound. Were you able to fix this problem? I may end up returning this product.

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.

I had a Samsung 55 inch, LED 3D 9000 series delivered and installed last Saturday. Animated movies such as Monsters, Inc look excellent, but when I tried watching the Mummy I thought something was seriously wrong with the unit. The above advice, to turn AutoMotion off makes all the difference! Last night I watched Iron Man, but I turned AutoMotion on and changed the setting to Clear; that works very well too. Exterior shots seem fine, but the interior shots are the ones that definitely suffer with AutoMotion switched on.Thanks for the suggestion; I'm in love with the Samsung again!

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 was able to fix mine myself from doing online research and found video on Youtube. The circuit board was contaminated from the steam. I removed it and clean it with alcohol and put it back and it has been working ever since. That's a very poor design. This is an oven range microwave. it should be able to withstand that kind of problem. I will definitely not going with Samsung again on my next purchase.

When I called tech support back in October, they described the functionality as I stated in my earlier post. I guess I got lucky and got a tech that knew what he was talking about.I am, however, getting a intermittent popping noise now from the rear of the TV... It has always been there, but it finally started bothering me enough. My local warranty service provider will take my TV set again this evening to attempt to fix the problem. Evidently there is a new kit for it.

Without seeing your set, it is difficult to provide you with an answer. However, as a former TV tech, I suggest that you check the polarity of the capacitors that you replaced (Make sure the - and + leads match the board diagram) to ensure that they are not installed backwards. Also check the quality of the solder joints. A cold solder joint will shut you down. Make sure that you have reconnected all cables and that the pins are not bent or broken. Sorry I can't suggest anything else. Good luck.

Properly installed, there's a positive audible "snap" Mine's been on for over 50,000 clicks.I also have one on my D810. Those complaining of them falling off...didn't put them on right.

The bigger problems with the Samsung TVs is the soldering on the power supply and/or transistors going out. But my Samsung would just turn itself off then back on (I never unplugged and re-inserted the power cable). I did buy this cord later when my original cord shorted out and melted. If it is the cord, then that's a cheap fix...if its the power supply board, you're looking at $100-150 for repair or replacement

Here ia a direct quote from the Samsung service manual: "Any `creaking' noise is mostly from the structure of the device itself. A short, harsh noise may occur from a distortion or malformation due to thermal expansion between the metal joints, screws and loaded parts, respectively. Any intermittent `creaking' noise can be removed by loosening the screws." I purchased the service manual out of my own curiosity as to how it works. I will not try to service this set myself while the warranty is in effect. Purchased the manual from "manualuniverse.com" for about $18.00. They also have a manual titled; "Samsung HL--Txx87 & HL-txx89 DLP TV "Halo" Problem Fix". From my previous CRT RP HDTV I often heard a loud crack after the set was turned off for a while. I have not heard that noise from my current HL-T5687S. Good luck!

There's nothing defective about your unit check the second comment for contacts. I own several of these and the internal component isnt lined up correctly. Best of Luck. Stick with it. The reward is worth the trouble.
