Samsung "Silent" Repair Program - LCD TVs

If you are experiencing the clicking problem where the TV takes minutes to power on, fill out a trouble ticket here or call 1-800-Samsung:

They will send out a contracted tech to replace the 10v capacitors on the power board. There are a lot of youtube vids on how to solder them on yourself, but Samsung has actually stepped up here to pay for repairs on their defective cheapass capacitors. They replace them with 25v ones. Mine was repaired free of charge 18 months out of warranty and turns on instantly again now. Just an FYI. Not sure if this applies to the plasma sets or not.

That's what the Koreans get for buying Chinese capacitors...
