I am NOT a TV repairman. This video involves high voltages that can KILL you. Please do not attempt this stuff unless you are comfortable working with high voltages, capacitors, and plugging things into the wall outlets! \r

This is my fix for a friends Samsung Plasma Smart TV. One day it wouldnt turn on. The RED LED on the front of the unit just blinked, and he could hear clicky sounds from the tv, but no picture. It wouldnt power up. So he gave me the TV and bought a new one. This one is around $3k or so. or at least it was. Basically Samsungs best of the best.. \r

Here is the link to the video that inspired the fix..\r

update: 10/2017. this tv has come back into my possession. it stopped working again, only this time, it TOTALLY stopped working. I suspected the power supply, so I swapped that out for an ebay power supply. no dice. swapped a few other boards ( i was guessing . no good) .no go. Months later I revisited it and swapped the power supply with a new one off ebay. PERFECT. I know this is guess and check, so if you want to check out a channel that isnt about guess and check, please check out 12voltvids channel here on youtube. He does much more in depth component level fixes.
