2 COMMON WAYS TO FIX SAMSUNG TV CLICKING ON OFF TUTORIAL GUIDE 

Please be careful!! You can still get shocked by the capacitors even when the TV is unplugged!!! Only a trained technician should be doing this.

4+ year old video and you're still helping fellas like me out! ordered the capacitors off Amazon, followed your instruction and fixed my TV for $6.03. Thanks very much Tampatc!

Awesome set of videos- Very easy to follow and I sorted my 44" TV that had been sat in my garage for a year. Cost me 59 pence for a new 1000uF capacitor and 40 minutes work. Awesome. Cannot thank you enough.Just awesome.

These how to videos are awesome!!! Now, as an electronics engineer with over 30 years experience in several industries including consumer video electronics, I’ll point out a very key missing point regarding the caps. The failure mode is outgassing due to overheating hence the swelling and bulging - no surprise as most know. And, true, replacement caps are easily available. But here’s what I want everyone to know and it is not being mentioned on these how to sites. The problem with the caps as you might imagine are that they are cheap, Chinese supplier go figure. The reason these caps overheat is they are as this video explains, are used to filter fluctuations on switching power supplies. so what occurs is what we call ripple currents. I will simplify Ohm’s Law by restating that voltage equals current times resistance, but what is that play in these failures is the fact that there are time varying currents i.e., the ripple currents flowing continuously through the capacitors due to the switching mode operation of the power supplies. so, now the problem with this. no electrical component has ideal properties in the real world. let’s keep it to the discussion of capacitors. capacitors have what’s called equivalent series resistance. as with the operation of space heaters we know that resistance with current flooring through it will result in heat. so overtime this ripple current flowing through the parasitic ESR of the capacitors will continuously generate heat which in turn causes the electrolytic material to outgas and eventually bulges the capacitor and it loses its capacitance characteristics. in the complement industry for electro lytic capacitors there are specialize capacitors they cost a bit more but they have very low ESR. in safety critical applications Mike automotive and dustrial and avionics it is absolutely important to select low ESR electrolytic capacitors. so, after seeing these how to saying go out and get replacement capacitors I have waited long enough to hear someone mention that the selection should be to get low ESR electrolytic capacitors. to put it in real terms I repaired our Sam song back in 2009 with low ESR electrolytic capacitors and have not had a problem since. A friend of mine did he is independent of consulting me and he had to go back in and replace them after about three years. by that time I got wind of his reoccurrence and got him some low ESR electrolytic capacitors. so my suggestion to the creators of all how to videos for this problem is to please guide people toward low ESR electrolytic capacitors and not just a garden-variety replacement. good luck off.

You saved me 1,000 bucks. My better half was all set to buy a 60 inch Sony before I fixed our 52" for $5 in capacitors. Well done, good job.

Hoping to find an answer to a really strange problem. I have a Samsung UN60F7100AF from 2013. It turns on, no problem. When I connect a "source", like an Amazon fire stick, the Amazon logo comes on the screen, like normal, but then after the boot logo disappears, the "source" (indicator of which source your set to), drops down from the upper left of the screen like I just connected a new source. Then it starts the blinking again. I've reset the TV, reset the picture, unplugged and let sit for an entire day, tried different HDMI cables, tried different Fire sticks but the same thing happens. This issue isn't the auto darkening feature that the TV has either. If I test the picture using support, the picture is loaded and looks absolutely fine. If I use the smart TV app feature, the picture doesn't blink. So I'm convinced it has something to do with the board that the HDMI ports are connected to. I just don't know what that is called. Any suggestions? The screen then gets bright then goes dark and continues to do that over and over every 2 or so seconds (we'll call it "blinking" from here on)

"Then you're screwed. You have to get a new cable. The cable is like ten bucks."

never getting another samsung tv again just stickin with philips smart tvs havent had a problem with mines in 3 years

I found a quick fix that helps for a short period and thats to hold down the power on button on the tv for about 12-15 seconds and it will boot into shop mode.

Hello I have a question about my tv If you can help me please! I have 65 inch curved Samsung LED TV screen is brokered and also the power is getting on and off What is your suggestion about this!? can I fix it can!? If I order a screen in all other parts?

Sub'd..great video. I have electronic s tech degree that I never get to use and live in an upper scale apartment complex where people just leave their TV's by the dumpster if they either move or have an issue with them. I think I'm up to around 4 TV's so far this year. The latest has this same issue.

So I have a Samsung LED tv model# un50es6900 bought in December 2012. I'm having a problem where when the tv is turned on, it turns off and back on about 3-5 times, with about 3-5 minutes between each power cycle. Then aftet 3-5 of the tv turning off and back on, it's good to go... unless you click it off and back on, in which it will do it again. I disassembled it to visually inspect everything, which looked fine. I unplugged the wifi module to see if that was causing it, and it no longer does it. Ever heard of this? Hope this comment helps someone else experiencing the same problem. I'm going to take it apart again tonight to get the model number off the wifi module and replace it. Hopefully it will be good to go after that.

excellent job showing what your doing and what the problems can be. And please don't be mad about Samsung and capacitors, most do not have this problem, and many don't have it for a very long time. Plus its easy to fix. I've had my current tv for a good 5+ years, and only recently has it had this problem, and currently its an easy problem because without even replacing stuff you can simply blow a hair dryer in the vent of the tv to heat up the capacitors fast for the tv to work fine, The more capacitors that fail the longer the tv clicks/to warm up and come on. If you know of a local repair shop you can just take the board to them they can soder in/out new capacitors for cheap.

My Samsung UN58H5202AF isn't really clicking on and off but it appears to be stuck in a reboot loop. I will turn it on and see the Smart Tv logo but then after a minute or two it reboots again. It also gets to a point were the remote is non responsive as well. If I want to change the input source or try pulling up the menu I have to do it right away. However, the screen usually goes a bit garbled and then shortly after reboots. I called Samsung but it was 16 days past it's 1 year warranty so they won't help me. It's a tv in a room where we hardly watch tv so it seriously only has like 40 hours of watch time on it. Should I just try a shotgun approach and order the repair kit for $59.95 from shopjimmy? I do know how to solder and change capacitors etc... if there is a cheaper and easier solution. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. Thanks! Robert

the IC your looking at arround @4:10 is the flash storage. that shouldnt be hot, if so, some datalines or the powerplanes are bad. what might be misleading is that commonly with these board is that they will have had a sticker on the flashrom, nand or eeproms to note wich version they istalled. due to age and surrounding heat, the glue will nolonger work and the actual paper will seperate from the glue. leaving a nasty looking nand/flash chip, but maybe perfectly working Yeah, if the boards dead, replacing it would be the quickest and easiest way. if the cpu/SoC is dead, yeah then the nand wont be read and nothing apears on the screen ;)

Will keeping the back of the tv cool help the situation any? A humble Master and Professional Gardener Bernie De Lonay from "It's Not Work, It's Fun." 🐦🇺🇲⚘️

Hi mate it's good to see your videos again, it's a while since I repaired plasma tvs and it's great to get a refresh on doing it again, so thanks a million for your videos and great work and help. 👍

Nothing worked to stop the samsung tv on/off/on/off UNTIL I disconnected a control pcb inside the tv, powered it up ( nothing happened of course), removed power, then plugged the flat cable back into the control pcb. Do this at your own risk. It could have damaged the tv, but I was ready to toss the tv. It has been, maybe 3 months now. Tv works fine. Who knows, I could have just jinxed myself.

Hi my tv makes a humming noise which comes on for a few seconds then goes off again, and then starts making the humming noise again any ideas mate thanks

Hi, please can you advise? I have a Samsung Smart TV which comes on with picture and sound then will turn off and come back on, on a different channel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in anticipation. Regards, Brian

Under your index finger at 0:47 man that's an odd size/shaped capacitor... (the 450v 220μf one) REALLY short and squatty compared to most electrolytics!?

I Got A TV From My Neighbor Downstairs In My Building Wen I Plug It In I Get A Standby Light Wen I Push The Power Button I Get No Picture & No Sound.

My Samsung is powering on/off over and over again (out of the blue). Sometimes at the top left of the screen, it says "HDMI No Time Information". Due to the quick on/off or rebooting it's doing, there is no way to get to settings or input. I'm trying to open the Samsung TV case and it's stuck in one area and I'm afraid it will break if I continue. Thanks for any help!

Great Job!!! If ever there was a perfect video to solve my problem this is the one ☝️ Thanks Big Time ✌️

Your video is the BOMB. I bought a small kit that had a plethora of capacitors.I replaced 2 defective capacitors. Put TV back cover on, works perfect.Thank you for the very informative video.

My Samsung plate screen TV recently stop turning on . I instinctively turned it off and let it set for w while . When I plugged it back into the wall outlet . I heard about 3 to 4 click click and when I pressed the standby power switch. It won’t turned on . Please help .thx

You should make clear whether you are talking about STDBY voltage OFF or STDBY voltage ON as I have steady voltage when the TV is off which you seem to be showing but that voltage fluctuates when ON so now this video has confused me about whether I should be focusing on the Main board or power board. By this video, it would seem that only OFF is the test for steady STDBY voltage then you automatically move to replace the Main board. Is that the correct take away from this?

Hello thanks for the information can u help me I have a Samsung led HD TV when I turn it on the picture and everything works fine it then flickers and gos off I've opened the back and where the capacitors are there's a buzzing sound coming from that area would it be bad capacitors thank you for reading

So if you’re getting clicking coming from the power board but a fairly steady standby voltage then it is likely the logic board and definitely not the power board?

Can you help me? Samsung TV keeps turning off/on? Can you fix it virtual by instructing me?

Please help. My Samsung does the flickering for about 40 minutes then is ok but soon as I put my hdmi lead in to play my ps4 it spases out and turns on and off. No sound at all

Can't you just order the IC from Samsung? I have never tried to order board components from a company before.

Great video! No drinks near the electronics!!

Love your videos Sir all information with no bull

Question for u, I have Panasonic TH-50PX60U Plasma TV. It has no picture but the sound is fine. Do you think it has the same problem as Samsung TV Y-sustain board went bad? Thanks ahead of time.....

I have a Westinghouse 50 " tv it comes on and the picture does everything so the volume goes all the way up to the max .

What would cause the panasonic avchd video camera to not power on but make a ticking sound

My samsung 32" F5100 tv on something minute tv off but why please tell me

I would like to know the backup system for the tickon panel for sumsung tv

you don't even know what you do, for some of tech cause some of kind of tv's more issues than the CRT TV's so thank you for your video. I also need your help please.

Samsung told us it was software. It was not. I am determined to fix that 12 yo tv.

You should get an alligator clip attachment for those multimeter leads.

thank you you helped me fix a 2000 dollor tv for 20 bucks

So you’re saying go by a new tv..........no time to be checking flux capacitor an what not.. The game is about to come on bruh.

Thank you for this helpful tutorial. I'm having this exact problem with a Samsung TV right now. I'll try changing the capacitors first.

How do i know which logic board to get for my Samsung TV?

and this switch on and off awesome

Dude I can’t do all that and my red on and off light and tv keeps going on and off

my Samsung tv comes on and the picture goes in and out every two seconds

i will try this method on my tv... tnxz for making this video...

My Samsung did this after 14 months.

Thanks for this. I hope my problem is just the caps or regulators...

Really great and informative video! I woke up to my tv clicking on and off. I was able to sort it out, at least for now, by unplugging it for a couple minutes. Still, I wanted to see if this is a common issue and plan ahead just in case. Thanks so much for a how-to that isn’t obnoxious, overly technical or boring.

hye my tv samsung blinking on off..please help

Is that what i have to do my Samsung plasma tv is going on and off

Can bad capacitor make the tv buttons not work?

Tampatec very much enjoy your vids. I have a Samsung TV 50" I think it is 50". I will not be using it as a tv. The black screen was broken. The tv was left here when we bought the house. I took out the black screen and will be using it as a light for my electronics bench in the garage. It turns on and in about 15 seconds it will turn off. Would this be the same issue you described in the video? Any help would be great. Oh it does not power on and off. When I turn it on in 15 seconds it turns off.

Hey man I have a Samsung UM55ES7500Fand I swapped my power supply board and the Tv turns on.. But the power plug inet faces straight out and makes It so the back tv panel doesn't close.. All my Capacitors look good to me.. and just clicks.. with old board.. Can you show what I should swzp from the board I got..?? My original was a BN4400523A and the sent me a BN4400521A...

Hi, i have a samsung plasma, Yesterday night it turned off by its self and it's standby light like keep turning on and off ever since.. it is as if you are holding the remote control and keep pressing the power button in order to the TV on and off. what do you think is the problem ?

HELP PLEASE ** I have a PN51E550D1FXZA Samsung TV that turns off and on and at one point stays dark. I really just want to swap parts. What could be the fix. Thank YOU.

Thank you for what you do and everything you have done and your contribution to RU-vid and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Hello, I have a samsung tv ln52a750r1f, it turns on for a few seconds then off for another seconds and same thing all over and over, I already change the capacitors all of them but the problem continues. Do you think it's the main board?

I have a Samsung UN55B8500XF, the TV would not turn on and all you can hear is clicking, all the capacitors look intact, no bulging or burn marks of any kind, how would you go about it?

Is it the same for plasma tv? I have an lg42pj350-ta.. it clicks but dont start up. Has standby voltage 5v. But it doesnt load the screen.

WHAT do I need for Samsung model-LN40A500T1FXZA...line thru middle with inverted picture( as above so below) so to speak..a light tap used to fix it!! Is there a replacement board from shop Jimmy for this?? I really appreciate your videos!! I have a video out as well- VW42LFHDTV1OA hummed then went completely out! Plus HDMI port out! Any help appreciated!

Hey Paul, I have a weird issue here. I have a samsung un50nu6900fxza and it was working great until it just started switching on and off. The standby light kept flickering. So I went to lift the tv up then realized it stayed on. After a little troubleshooting I realized that if I disconnected the ir sensor the tv stays on. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

What if it goes off after some time, then back on again

My Samsung Plasma Tv PN51E450A1F has chime sound and standby is on,but no pic. What's the best way to fix

I have q7f 55 and its flickering on off and what should I DO and how much it would cost me? And can you specify the expected defects?

Hello, I have the same problem with my Samsung UE46C6000. The powerlight is binking on and off , also i hear Clicking and its coming from the Powersupply. The capacitors seems to be good! No bulb or leaking ones! What do i have to do to fix it?? Please help! Greats

My 2013 Samsung 64” Plasma PN64F5500 powers off completely (the red standby power light is off) just a few minutes after first turning it on. I was told by the Samsung tech to disconnect the power cord and press the power button on the TV for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord and try turning on the TV. Holding the power button on when there is no power supplied to the TV allows any "residual" power that is in the TV to dissipate. By doing this any corrupted data which prevents the firmware from functioning correctly will be deleted and the TV will revert to default operating condition. Unfortunately, that didn’t work for me. So I tried a highly technical procedure from the 1970s: I smacked the back of the TV with my palm. That causes it to power back on! Unfortunately, it’s not a permanent solution, but I’ve been doing it almost every day for the past few months until I stop procrastinating and try the steps in this video. Don’t be like me! Thanks for the video!

Today I got the same problem in my Samsung smart 49 inch curved tv . Its clicking screen . I felt this could caused monsoon season i kept it under fan let's see tomorrow what happened

My questions I'm asking example some people on RU-vid get paid for there videos and the video's they upload to there channel and the content ad's generate will that all change if a person who has RU-vid change if they try RU-vid red

Mate could you tell me if i measure voltage on power supply board and in the information shows me 5v and I've got 5.35 v is it correct? The same is on 13v . I've got 12.76v. Does it mean that I've got to change power supply board? Please

I have a Magnavox. After it gets warm. ( Maybe fifteen minutes ) it shuts off, for about one minute. And turns back on. ( Repeatedly ). Is this the problem indentifyed. With your Samsung video ?

Do you have a good source for capacitor kits? The kits on eBay don't include the one I need. Seems crazy to pay for shipping from Digikey for a single part, and in any event, they don't even seem to have the one I need 450v, 470uf, 35mm diameter max, 26mm high max, radial lead, electrolytic.

I have a Samsung 32j6300 smart TV ,, and I running this TV on UPS ,,, when voltage fluctuate the UPS sound like tak-tak and TV screen off ( TV is on ,only screen and sound goes off) for 1 sec and on again ,,what should I do ? Should I use stabilizer ? Please help!

Hello Good Day. I have this kind of issue, but has a little bit difference. It has a loud sound in a Samsung UA65NU model here in the philippines but only when i turn off the tv. I already tried to replace the Power supply but the sound is still present. I also tried to replace the Main Board but still has a cracking sound. Is there a chance that the cracking sound is coming from the display itself?

Hey hey! :-). I have a Samsung Smart 3D tv model un46f6400 that power cycles, won't stay turned on. Power supply when unplugged from mainboard, works fine, lights up backlights n all. Plug mainboard back in, cycles with 5 flashes. T-con, plugged or unplugged makes no difference. I did check the cable that runs from the power supply to the mainboard and it's fine. In my head, this all tells me it's the mainboard? Or is that too obvious and it can still be something else?

You still answering questions? I've got a Samsung PN42C450B1D plasma that's still giving me issues after replacing the Y and X boards :/

I never had problems with TVs until I bought a "Smart TV"!! They're not so SMART are they? All my other TVs lasted for ten or twelve years, my "smart" TV lasted eight months before it started screwing up!

Watch put when pulling apart these TV's - some of the capacitors can store a lethal voltage even when unplugged power - short them out before handling.

Great video: Have similar problem on a Samsung PS59D555. Clicking noise no picture. Disconnected Y and X board, still clicking... Attached Y and X and measured STB as you suggest. Should be 5.1 V. When I measure it to 5.3 V the clicking stops and the TV "boots" and the start image appears on the screen. When I remove the multimeter from then pin the picture disapear, and the clicking starts again. Suggestions? Is it mostl likely the Power supply or the Main board?

Hello, I have the same problem with my SAMSUNG tv model LN40C530F1FXZA. After about 1 hour it turns on and off but my tv also keeps doing ramdomly commands. It only stops after I unplug it from the power outlet. Any help will be appreciated. I open it dusted off with air can, and capacitors they all look in good condition.thank you

ppl me problem is next : me PC monitor works until i turn off me pc and i go to sleep and next day when i turn on PC i go t pictures on me monitor for 2sec and disepire and what i do?? in start of me problem i found solution 5-6 click on power buton of monitor and i got pictures and monitor works totaly ok until next day and new turn on me PC can some1 tell me are is problems in capacitor or what? tyyyy

samsung LN32450C1DXZA it keeps going off and on and I have replaced the power board and it did the same thing so both power boards work but the tv wont stay on

I have tried 2 things with my clicking Samsung.... I replaced two capacitors... but it still clicks...The original capacitors looked perfect...no bulges I contacted your suggested company and got a replacement board....installed it and it still clicks. I need help to resolve this issue. What do you suggest I try next????

Hi,I have a problem with my Samsung ps50c6500 that would keep clicking and would not start I believe it's a common problem do you suggest that what you have shown in the video will be the causes ?Thanks Mr T

hi dear sir i have a question ,i have LG LCD 42 inch TV Modele No:42le2r-zj . not powering up clicking many Tims but no sound no picture and no back lite. only power lite is on, thanks .

How do I now which composter to get or the main logic board? Can we rent that device you used to check the volatage? Please help my Samsung is an 08 year & has stand by light & clicking noise please help

Check your link for parts for my Samsung UN40FH6030, but all parts were out of stock. Do you have another source I could check?

Hey i also own a Samsung TV and it is Clicking but my Standby voltage is supposed to be 6v. My Voltage is going up to 12v and then down to 6v again. Is this caused by the Power Supply?

Thank you for the information that I needed, because I have 2 CRT widescreen TVs that has the same problem, both TVs switch on and off randomly because they are 30 years old as in tripping, and I understood your logic because you spoke in English, that's my language, I have googled other videos about the same CRT widescreen TVs and they were foreign. The make of 2 TVs are Beko and Akura two different TVs but the same models.

I have a TCL LE55FHDF3300ZTAAA My TV started turning itself off from time to time, then more frequenlty sometimes it would sit a hour or so and then it would work again, then recently a day or so and it would work for a while. when it turns off standby light always comes on. When it does work the picture is always clear no lines or distortion. I've seen this model TV also in a Sanyo with the same boards. Any help if it is the T-con or the mainboard? or at least which one I can try 1st

I think my capacitors are on the way out. Suddenly lose power randomly and clicking on and off with the flashing standby light. Thanks for the vid!!

Oneloverecording had posted (below) to hold the power button down for 12-15 seconds to "reboot" the system. I was all set to replace boards and I tried the push and hold on the power button. Amazing, it acts like a brand new TV. I understand "rebooting" devices. Had to "reboot" my chromebook as an example. Thing is these companies don't tell you how to reboot or when it might be necessary to reboot. We live on the top of a mountain and sometimes lightening gets a little close in T-Storms. I suspect we had a close strike that made things a little wonky. Its happened here before with sensor devices, even a lightening protection device I had on my computer. After doing the 12-15 second reboot the TV is working perfectly normal. I suspect now that some people might have replaced power boards that didn't need replacing, only needed to be rebooted.

Awesome instructions....thank you so much.

Tampatec, I'm replacing my capacitors however I have a capacitor 35v/1500uF but my capacitor kit that was delivered doesn't have 1500uF can I up the uF?

Hi cheers for the video I have a Samsung le40r74bd doing the exact same thing but I'm.out of knowledge and ability haha what fixed this one? Capacitors seem ok although not tested with a meter. Standby light on turns on with image then goes off straight away...HELP please....any help appreciated mate

My Samsung 40" does come on but after 2 seconds the screen flashes off & then back on repeatedly, without losing power though. Which board causes that problem?
