Samsung LE40R87BD LCD TV - relay clicking repeatedly but wont start
AdyAde:
Hi all,
I have just signed up after finding this site from google.
I have a Samsung LE40R88BD, and it has started the clicking itself on & off, i changed 6 capacitors all to 25v 1000uf even tho 3 were 10v. but still no joy, when i disconnect the cable from psu to av board i have no power (see pic) do you think i need a new psu or a new av board (sorry if it's not called an av board just presume it is as it houses the scarts / hdmi's etc)
Is there a way to test my psu before i spend money i dont have?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks :biggrin2:

Hi All
Had another one of this model in for repair and after persuading it to start with the shorting links found I still had problems. After setting the tuner option to auto and doing a reset I found that a retune failed to find any stations. This was cured by toggling the 'Ready' option in section 2 of the service mode and leaving it in the 'off' position. A vertical column of interferance (small dashes about a half inch wide all the way up the screen) was cured by adjusting 'FEE Delta' in section 13 of the service mode to a value of 0. Might sound like a quick fix but took a good while to sus out. It seems that a lot of attention may be required to the settings in the service mode whenever there are problems after replacing the capacitors.
Would also like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their contributions to this and related threads on these Samsung models. Our combined knowledge and observations have enabled us to build a picture of the possible/probable failings and how the engineer might tackle them.
Thanks to everyone
John.

Hi, I have a LE40R83 BX . It had the usual power supply fault but still :bo: has a problem. It powers up and runs for 25 seconds then clicks off. it then starts again , it keeps cycling on and off every 25 seconds. I have tried a new eprom ic .The tuning and every thing else works fine while its on . Any one else had the same trouble. Regards Kittys boy.

Hello all,
New to this forum and was searching the net for the same problem as most of you are or were having.
having found that it wasn't a handfull of people with the same problem I decided to ring samsung today, as with my tv being just over 2 years old I was a bit hacked off!!!
The moment I mentioned about the clicking when its trying to switch on they said I was eligible for a free repair as they have accepted there is a problem with this model, RESULT!!!!
H&H TV repairs in liverpool have contacted me already so thats a good start. :cheesy1:
My TV started having problems when I lost my HDMI3 port, it completely disappeared of the list, then I noticed all my digital TV had disappeared also, which meant no access to d-menu on the remote, luckily I have sky+ so I could still watch telly, but clicking has got worse this last week and wont come on at all now :mad:
So just letting you know its definitely worth a call before you do fiddle around inside your telly, I'd rather they break it and have to repair it than me. :ciao:
