Samsung LE40R87BD LCD TV - relay clicking repeatedly but wont start
RichardOtter:
Hi All,
Had the clicking issue earlier this week. Googled it, and WOW! opened a can of worms. Opened it up, capacitors bulging, replaced them, still no joy. Attempted the EEPROM reset, no joy. Decided to put it all back together and try calling Samsung........
......if you are in the UK, I would suggest not even bothering to open it, they are completing FOC repairs to this problem. the guy on the line (number above) said, it was difficult for people to get any assistance from them to begin with, but the powers that be have seen the light.
Dont bother trying yourself, get it fixed for free, well done Samsung for growing a pair at last!

hi telly people, i am in the same boat as you but i dont even have a soldering iron so i cant fix it, the supprt number in the back of the manual doesn even work anymore, just say service is unavaliable!!

Sorry if this is the wrong place to make my initial post but, I just have to say that you guys are truly fantastic! I 'had' a TV with the same fault as originally described at the beginning of this thread! Resetting the ROM worked for me!
I recently started out repairing Plasma & LCD TV's after my dad gave it up after 'millions' of years in the trade, he just couldn't be bothered with surface mount technology, He's standing by me now teaching me more, I've always been by his side where I could over the years and have a good backround in electronics but what you guys have showed me recently just takes his knowledge and modernises it!
I can't thank you enough! I have now signed up to this great forum and WILL be back, I'll help out where I can, you can be sure of that!
Nice one!

All, contact Samsung first! I too have this problem, and I was advised to go through the retailer and use the Sale of Goods Act, goods fit for purpose. :chok: But on reading your posts above, I contacted Samsung Customer Services. They have agreed that it is a known fault and that a local tv repair company will be in touch to come to my home and repair the TV free! :yahoo:
So I'm just waiting for the call......
I'll keep you posted.
Mark
