Many Samsung LCD and Plasma TVs are experiencing problems
when turning on. The most common symptom that we experience is a clicking noise
coming from inside the tv when attempting to turn it on. Sometimes the tv will
come on and sometimes it will not.
The cause is defective electrolytic capacitors (shown in the picture above). You can find
a lot of information online on how to repair this problem. Much of the information is helpful and
efficient, but in this article, we want to suggest a recommendation that will
help your Samsung tv repair Chicago to be even more effective.
All capacitors have a string of numbers printed on them that
indicates their voltage value.
We recommend replacing those burned/defective capacitors
with new Panasonic capacitors that have a higher voltage value and a higher temperature rate.
Here is a list of the capacitor upgrades that we suggest:
820uf 25v -> 1000uf 25v
1000uf 10v -> 1000uf 25v
1000uf 16v -> 1000uf 25v
1000uf 25v -> 1000uf 35v
2200uf 10v -> 2200uf 25v
2200uf 16v -> 2200uf 25v
3300uf 10v -> 3300uf 25v
3300uf 16v -> 3300uf 25v
If the burned/defective capacitor shows a temperature rating
of 85*C, you should replace it with one of 105*C.
Capacitor brands we recommend
This is a list of some good manufacturers that we recommend and use at our tv repair shop in Chicago.
Panasonic
Nichicon
Rubycon
United Chemicon
Sanyo
Look or ask for low ESR capacitors as they are the most effective to repair your tv circuit board properly (lower is better, but usually higher cost)
You will probably not find these Low ESR capacitors easily at a local store.
In many other articles, people advise buying capacitors from stores like Radioshack, and it's fine, it will work but it will not last. We suggest contacting your local tv repair shop or buying capacitors online.
