Hey all
Am not very technically minded here and reading some posts on here confuses the hell outta me, but I have a similar problem with this relay thing although after about 10-15 seconds the tv set will come on and is fine from then onwards, I have noticed now tho that it has started to get a little worse if the tv has been turned off for a while where it never used to.
Only had it for 2 years and am annoyed that its going on, Samsung dont seem too bothered by any of this and the guys they referred me to want around £100 plus parts to fix it.

Hi chips01
With a bit of luck you will just need to replace the 1000Mf electrolytic capacitors on the 5volt line. These components are located in the corner of the power board. Often they will have domed tops indicating their stress. If left unrepaired the set will eventually fail to start and there is also the risk of a corrupted or damaged eeprom IC. See also other posts on this site relating to similar Samsung models.

Hi Contrast john
I have had a look at loads of forums with others having similar problems and there was a diagram on there regarding the capacitors, I have taken the back off and looked and they all seem fine i.e no bulging or leakage. Regarding the eeprom IC, I have no idea what you are on about lol.

Ok have taken back off again and looked closer and there are 3 capacitors that are bulging slightly on the top, gonna go down this route and get them replaced, just need to find someone that can solder now lol
