Samsung has many issues with bad capaciters to panel board miss match.
My other samsung capaciters would not hold the power, i had to change them out
for stronger ones. I will be checking into Sharp on my next buy. I
always bought samsung even a washing machine but they are not doing the right
thing when you have a legitimate poor part issue under 3 years old, should not
happen.

My TV started doing this clicking before it turned on (40F86 purchased in 2007 in the UK) shortly before I installed it on a wall in the bedroom. It now won’t turn on and just clicks incessantly, along with turning on in the middle of the night randomly like in Poltergeist. I had unplugged it and left it for dead until I chanced upon this thread yesterday. Oddly enough, this fault happened before with the first model of this TV I bought in 2007 within days of owning it, where it turned on and off randomly and the touch controls didn’t work. This is therefore the replacement which is now breaking. I have emailed Samsung about it and will see what they respond with. I’m not very impressed with Samsung, as I owned one of their Fridge-freezersm which died within warranty and they took 3 months to tell me that they couldn’t get the required part anymore and offer a refund leaving me with no fridge in the meantime. The chances of me buying anything made by Samsung again after these two experiences is negligable, it is safe to say.

I checked with Samsung Sweden again about my clicking issue and I just got a response: “Samsung Sweden does not have an extended warranty for this particular problem.”

Strange that Samsung have different rules in different countries of the EU.

I have the exact same issue. My TV is 2 years old (bought in Feb 2010) but Samsung says it is not one of the TVs that they will fix for free. They are willing to supply the capacitors but will not pay for the service. As henry states, it makes no sense – same problem with newer TV but they won’t fix it. I’m happy for those of you who did get the fix but wouldn’t it make sense to take care of all their customers, not just some? And, obviously, they are still using the faulty/cheap capacitors on the newer model TVs.
