Samsung LCD TV 32" fullHD won't turn on | ||

| I have Samsung LCD TV 32" fullHD(1080p) series5 and the problem is, it would never turn on no matter how i click the power button on the remote or even on the TV.
of course, the TV is plugged (im not that stupid) and the red light is on. well actually, this has happened a month ago. I tried turning on the TV when it only blinked or showed the screen less than a second and turned off. then after that, it won't turn on anymore....so, all i did was trying to turn it on again and again, also using the dvd player (coz when you turn on the dvd player the tv also turns on normally). tried several times to turn on the dvd player but it is the only one that would turn on, i could even play a DVD with all the sounds on the menu but the TV won't turn on, until, i took a while, the DVD player turn on ALONG with the TV. recently, it happened again. but again, i did the same thing. trying to turn on the TV with the power button, then repeatedly turning on the dvd player, hoping the TV will also turn on. then it worked again. What could be causing this and how can i fix this? | ||

| Couple of thing to try
1. Disconnect the DVD player from the TV and see if the TV switches on and off OK - The DVD player might be overriding the TV's normal control. 2. Check that HDMI control is set to "off" for both the TV and DVD player. The TV will no longer switch on automatically when the DVD player is turned on, but that might be what's causing your problem. | ||

| Apparently, certain Samsung LCD models have been experiencing a turn on problem due to faulty capacitors on the power supply board. See this thread http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=847465&page=629 or this link

| Samsungs are notorious for faulty power supply boards, especially if it was made from 2005-2008.
If you are knowledgeable in electronics you could replace the capacitors yourself: http://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=62360 | ||

| actually i have no idea on replacing capacitors...
but what is the cause of having these capacitors to go bad, aside from being faulty in the first place? was it caused by overuse/overheat? i am still under warranty can i make samsung replace it for me? | ||

Yes you can. Call them about the nearest repair center. Get it fixed while it is still in warranty. | ||

| One of the issues with leaving a device in standby mode is that capacitors can dry out. While you still have power to them, they are OK. But if you lose power, they won't charge up properly, and therefore your device won't turn on. |
