Samsung fully acknowledge that there is a problem with their TV’s capacitors manufactured December of 2008 and prior.
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 kids just got off for Christmas break and low and behold my TV went out! LOL! Thank God for this forum… I called the samsung phone number listed above, and Voila, my TV is covered! Too bad the holiday is on Tuesday, so I may have to wait until Thursday for a technician. If it is the capacitor or the power panel it will be replaced at no charge in my home! Thanks to the original lawsuit and Samsung, I am not going to have to pay!

What phone # ? There is no phone number for Samsung on this site.
The claim form states prior to March 2012. Am I out of luck ? My power supply just died and it is March 2013.
Thanks
