It pays to do a little research. Last week our Samsung LCD TV started taking a very long time to turn on. The first day it took about 20 minuets, the next day about 45, the next day an hour and a half, the next day 2 1/2 hours, and then nothing but a black screen. It was trying to turn on...but nothing. On Friday I went to the Samsung website but couldn't find any advice on what the problem was or how to fix it. Saturday Hubby said lets go get a new TV today. We figured we would get a new one for the living room and try to find someone to look at the Samsung and see if it was worth fixing for the game room . Before we went I decided to google Samsung LCD TV won't turn on and waalaa!!! I found an article. It turns out that thousands of people were having the same problem for the past few years. It’s caused by apparently defective capacitors that help store energy to smoothly operate the televisions. Each capacitor is relatively inexpensive, about $5 a piece. But if it’s defective it can overheat and shut down your TV. After lots of complaints to Samsung they decided to offer a one time free fix for the problem. And right there in the article was an 800 number to call to see if you qualify for the free fix. You had to have a model that was manufactured between 2006 through 2008. Ours was manufactured in 2008. So they arranged for a local repair service to come and fix it for free. YAY!!! So do your research...it may pay off!
