So i phoned Samsung who informed me its not covered ( 2 years old and not one that is effect by cap problem) so called around got quoted over 125 to fix it and i cant afford that as am not out of work. so started searching the net and found you guys.

yeah im gonna try that first mate but just my luck every component seller in a 15mile radius is out of stock and only has the 85c ones not the 105 lol, so will have to wait for them to turn up from mail order grrrrrrr. out of interent do the eproms need to be programmed or can the be installed blank

Glad to hear you got the problem fixed. I have the same tv and the same problem i think. I have just purchased the service manual of ebay - could not find it anywhere. Where did you get it ?

If you dont mind I would like to contact you "to keep me right" when trying to fix this problem.

Help from anyone else would of course be most welcome. I have just joined this forum and have some knowledge of electronics and tv's - I have found it very difficcult to find service manuals, particularly free of charge.
