tv tony:
There is an increasing use of the forum from people stating simply their tv does not work, please help. If the people dont even attempt to make cursory checks then how on earth can us people with a technical background possibly aid in a reliable diagnosis, I have noticed in the last few months hardened users of this site post less and less, apart from the much missed Doug(rip) I know of at least four regular contributers who we dont see as often, if this is taken in the wrong text I apologize, but it is happening more and more, with Muljas permission I take the spammers off as and when so lets get some real posts going again, as we used to.
Regards
Tony Walker

Well said tony there are people who are in the trade on this forum

few componets

Well said Tony, I confess I check in most days but there is rarely a post I can contribute to. And the re-emergence of the Samsung clicking fault made me SCREAM, :41: before xmas I had 4 Samsung jobs in a row, 2 plasmas, 1 LCD and a VCR for gods sake, and every customer said the same thing “been on internet, it’s a common problem, caps in the PSU, it will only cost a few quid to put right” for the record NONE of the faults were caused by caps in the PSU.
So come on people, as much detail as possible, do some checks and we will try to help. If you have no electronics experience please takes it to your local engineer.

Thanks

Ps. For my sanity, please no more Samsung clicking posts! There is already more than enough info on the site.

Hi Guys,
I’ve got this proby  with this Sameysongi LDC it’s NOT WORKING  has this click click click noise coming from this black square plastic thing on one of the boards.
As you have gathered I do know what I’m talking about.
Any help much appreciated as I’ve got my soldering station turned on.
Regards
Pan   
ps I do agree with your comments.

Hello Pan, I didnt know how to take your post, it may be a couple of those little round things on a circuit board somewhere in the tv, on a serious note a few of the caps might have failed, look for any swelling on them, they dont always swell but may have a high ESR, worst case scenario the eeprom may want doing as well. Good luck.
