Samsung LCD and other brands of LCD tv sets had been having problems with their power supply. Normally it is cause by a blown low quality capacitors on your power supply board. On my previous post, about on how to fix a Samsung power supply, knowing the symptoms will help you see if it’s an easy fix or not. Below are what the other Samsung LCD owners are experiencing with their LCD TV sets.
- Several Clicking Sound on power up.
- Delay power up, from 1 min to 10 mins +
- After power up vertical lines appears (reboots normally fix it)
- Blurry images after power up. (reboots normally fix it)
- (Worst Symptom) It starts right after your warranty expires!
From the comments on my previous post, it seems like Samsung finally “kinda” acknowledge the power supply problem. Their are some LCD TV owners that got their warranty extended by Samsung. This might require a lot of time on the phone but if your not up to the task of fixing your own LCD you can go this route.
If you didn’t see the symptom that you have experienced with your Samsung LCD set and want to share, please leave us a comment!

I have a sanyo dp 50747 which is a samsung p50hb004a with a 850hw-yb03 power board. The tv clicks once, then the screen lights up (video 1) for 1 sec, then the rainbow screen, for .half a second, then clicks off. I checked all 6 fuses all are fine. Non of my caps are bulged. How else can i check if the caps are bad. thanks.

dalla mia di lunga esperienza ho notato che 30 anni fà il componente duravo in eterno oggi dura un giorno , non mi sembra ragionevole , e tuttavia una questione di mercato con tutta la sua disonestà di mercato , e inutile capire perchè e non perchè fuziona e non funziona tanto il danno il guasto ritorna sempre per via del componete che fa mercato cia o …ciao..

Steven, the only thing I can think is maybe you have the caps the wrong ways. Double check on that and also search for more blown caps. It could be a leaking cap or its bulging from the bottom part of the capacitor.

I changed two blown capacitors and three others just in case, and the flashing and clicking were still there so as suggested on youtube I shorted pins 5 and 6 on the eeprom with a very small screwdriver and the led stopped flashing and the tv clicked only when I pressed on the remote as it should, but there was no picture so don’t know if something else has gone but shorting the eeprom did stop the led flashing and the repeated clicking. It was also suggested replacing the eeprom but this requires soldering 8 tiny contacts which looks very difficult for a novice solderer.
