Fix LCD TV just clicks won't turn on - Cheap easy repair for LED TV 

Followed this and it fixed my Alba 42 inch TV that had the same symptoms. Great video and I now have a working TV again Thankyou very much

For all out there who have the same issue, but don't own the tools, I bought a repair kit on Amazon for $25. It included a solder iron, solder sucker, solder and a variety of capacitors. Well worth the $--saved me at least $100 to do it myself. Big props to Mark.

Loving the antique Archer solder. Memories of browsing around Tandy. Going to rip my plasma apart in the next couple of days as it clicks constantly now. Thanks for the detailed video.

Mark your the best! I followed your instructions to the letter. I fixed my Phillips LCD tv by replacing five capacitors. I only burnt my finger once with the soldering iron hehe. Thanks again! It only cost me $18.00 for the capacitors and $20.00 for the soldering iron. Now I have a bunch of replacement capacitors. Take care and keep up the good work!

thank you for posting. couldn't hurt to test the on-board fuses while you were in the neighborhood. take care & stay safe.

Mark you are a legend. I've fixed my TV just follow your tutorial step by step. Big thanks!

Thanks for the help on Facebook mate, I have subscribed and now on my first watch of this video..

Great video. I especially appreciated the cap test at the end because you showed hard data of how they are bad.

great video as always Mark

Just fixed my TV 30 minutes ago. Your video got me there. Easy as could be. I had to change 3 capacitors. Thanks, Mark!

Wow i'm reading so many comments from people repairing thier tv's from watching your channel, great work bud.

great video fun to watch as well as educational

You absolute star ! Brilliant, I followed your instructions and I now have a working TV again. Many thanks

TV just started acting up a few days ago! Found this video ,went out and bought 2 new capacitors. Easy fix compared to having to buy a new TV! Cheers!

Your video is still helping fix Samsung crap capacitors in 2019, Thanks!!

Very good video. I have a Samsung TV that stopped working, and I will be taking off the cover tomorrow to have a look at the capacitors to see if I can get it running again. Thanks!

Thanks Mark. Followed your instructions...bought my first soldering kit and capacitors and repaired my 10 year old Samsung for $23. So stoked!

Thank you posting. Great learning tool. My Samsung is doing the clicks taking longer to turn on. Im going to give your video fixing a try. I'm hoping it work. thanks for the tips.

I fixed my industrial monitor changing two 16v 1000uf capacitor damaged. You helped me a lot!😄

Nice Video! Thanks!

Great job at least somebody has a great video out there😊

Thanks for the video Mark, very informative, my capacitors look OK so i can probably eliminate them as the cause of the problem - my samsung UE40D5520 is stuck in a non-clicking re-boot loop and ive been told by the local TV shop that either the main or power board needs replacing. Not being circuit-board literate im not sure if the orange crusty stuff on some of the wires is normal but to me it doesnt look like its supposed to be there!

Like most fixes, it's all about having the right tools!

Mark! Thank you so much for this video. My mom's tv went out a few weeks ago and I was at University so I couldn't do anything, but I found this video and when I got home I tried fixing it. I just finished about 10 minutes ago, and her TV works! So from me and her, thank you so much. Her because she has TV. Me because I learned some new things and she won't be griping that te TV is out. :D

Great video. Was able to replace the capacitors, and the TV is working. Thanks for the great detail.

I am not skilled but I had nothing to lose and followed his directions and it worked! You will see the bad capacitors when you turn the board around and find the sodder slightly burned. Just take your time and you can save your TV

thanks a lot worked like a charm..

This video is very help full.

good work mister Mark Fixes Stuff - Retro Console and Computer :-)

thanks a million

Great tutorial. I did this repair on my 52 inch Samsung plasma. 3 caps cost me $3.90 Canadian. Hardest part of the job was lifting the beast - had to get the teenagers involved! I did note that the commercial solder took a lot longer to heat up in order to remove with my home-quality iron, so it took a little more time than it should have. Shame on Samsung with this defect and their terrible customer service. last Samsung I'll buy but it's working great now. Thanks!

changed dead caps on my sasung tv and its still clicking what you think it could be? the standby led is blinking with the click aswell.??

hi there ive had plasma samsung had blown caps fixed them still never came on what else could it be as ive been messing about hobby buying tv's with same as this taking age to come and its been fine only caps but ive been put off getting any with clicking sound thanks for video

Cool vid.

Your video explained exactly what my old Samsung is doing. I think I'll try my hand at fixing it. I promise not to blame you if I electrify myself lol. One question...Can I use 60/40 solder (lead/tin) or must it be that resin core you showed?

thank you so for good tutorial sir...

I have a sanyo dp46848 that just powers o for 7 seconds then off as soon as backlights kicks off. Any ideas about this already replaced power supply and main boards. Thank you

can i use different capacitor series but same numbers i have a blown 25v 2200uf 105 c (M) capacitor the new capacitor is 25v 2200uf 105 c (XYA) and it is abit smaller in diameter and height

Mark I have a Samsung tv as well but whats happening to it is when you turn it on and it starts to cycle it will suddenly make a very loud screeching sounds and you will see a bunch of lines appear. then it will shut off on its own and try to recycle again. It will do this two or three times before it starts up correctly. Could this be a bulging cap causing this?

Thank you Mark. I do appreciate your prompt reply. Samsung should have to answer for that... Seems as though everyone that purchased one of these sets new has experienced the exact same problem. That and all within weeks of their warranty having run out. "Bollocks!" Almost as if it were planned that way. Hmmm... Now by the smaller caps, are you referring to the four green 1000 uf/35 volt caps by the heat sink at the lower right hand corner of the board? How about the four brown 470-35 V caps on the left side of that same heat sink? Cheers mate!

Hi Mark, I have a Samaung 40" LN-S4051D TV that won't turn on, it just clicks so I took it apart, noticed two blown capacitors. I bought a 5 pack on Amazon, replaced the two obvious caps and still nothing, changed out 3 more and same thing. What else could it be? Thanks in advance. Jim

Hey mate - thanks for this! Great video. I'm having the same problems, but I've got a Plasma compared to an LCD. Was going to change the capacitors as you've shown, but wanted to check to see if you knew of any other parts that may contribute to the Plasma screens while I've got it open? Appreciate your thoughts! Thanks mate.

Hello Mark, I have a Samsung model UE55F6670SS presenting same issue. I did visually verify power board and all capacitors seems perfect. I saw some videos people heating powerd board with a hair dryer and did try out... that works! but once tv turns off I have same issue back and need to heat board again to start. Any other clue to fix it? Appreciate your help. Tks

Hey I have a Sony Bravia 55 inch LCD TV. It's a 2010 model. When it turns on and off it makes a sharp ``pop'' sound. Is it the relay switch that is faulty? Some say,``That is not normal.''

Looking to take this job on myself, what capacitors do I need to replace the ones in my LE40M86BD which also does the same clicking and no turning on, new to the whole electric/capacitor thing I have done a little electrical stuff in the past however not clued up on it

Do you no these type of t.v.,s tend to blow caps,

How long does it take for those main capacitors to discharge? Thanks for the video!

Hey what if I can't find that piece can I jus change the whole bored? Please need help

Mark really does fix stuff. I've got an old LCD monitor that needs recapping, and an old laptop that needs the power jack replacing, but lack experience at de/soldering. I have four dead or obsolete PC motherboards to practice with, they are chock full of caps. Have you done any videos with desoldering braid being used. by the way?

Thank you! I have the same TV with the same issue. I've bought the soldering iron, but have been holding off for a while, because I didn't want to touch something that might zap me. This was very thorough and now I feel confident that I can do this no problem!

mark I did the power board on mine as it was only 36 bucks and it still clicks on and off. Saw a video of the little blue flip switch repair and did that and still cuts on and off. Any ideas. It is Samsung 52 in hdtv.. I just today saw video where if had no power for a while it will not cut on. It will not stay on long enough to check this setting so don't know what to do. I am going to plug everything in and leave it on and see if having the cable box hooked up overnight will allow this feature to let it cut on. Let me know any help please. thanks. My reasoning behind the nopower is my granddaughter might have flipped the light switch and the tv had no power overnight???

i have a samsung 60" inch tv that wont turn on it just has the flashing light and clicking noise ....model UN60D6420Uf i cant find the problem can you help me out with this one thank you

i'm having the same problem but the capacitors are not bulged and there are no burned/damaged components on the board. any idea what the problem can be?

Hi. Thanks for the video! I have watched many already and tried to solve clicking problem however haven't been able to yet. Capacitors seems ok. I have checked all joints as well, looks ok I think. Would anyone be able to look at my power board and identify the issue, please? 🙏 I am desperate 😵‍💫 I have pictures!

I want to try to fix my panasoniv viera LCD. The capacitor are 35v 1800uF. I can't find anything similar on amazon or ebay. What shall I do? Any capacitor will work or have to be the same? Thanks in advance.

to discharge a capacitor, with a screwdriver that has an insulated handle. with the power off, touch both the soldered leads on the capacitor , both leads at the same time. really strange the 2 other capacitors have axial leads. you can see the silk screen on the board looks like a radial capacitor was supposed to go there.

what is the name of the repair kit

Hi Mark, I have a Samsung M87 LCD which suffers from the clicking issue. I've removed the back from the TV but the capacitors you replaced 'look' fine (as in no bulging, they are flat). Is it worth replacing anyway - can they fail without bulging? Thanks

I know your video is older but I hope you will respond. I have an older Samsung computer monitor and when I turn it on it only stays on a couple seconds then black. if I turn off and back on it does the same. I can see my desktop briefly. Is that possibly the capacitor? Thanks. Great video.

The heat coming off that bar that does not need to be addressed for those capacitors??

Hey I have another size and model samsung TV that doing the same. Do you think it's the same problem.

I'm experiencing this exact problem with my 2007 Samsung model HP - T4234 Plasma. It is not the X Sus, or Y Sus boards so I'm guessing it is the power supply board. Problem is, none of the caps look bad and I don't have an ESR-70, or equivalent meter to test all of the caps in circuit. Any suggestions? Should I start with replacing all of the 1000 uf 25V caps, like the two you replaces by that heat sink? I don't know how much a replacement P/S board is on FleaBay but I'm guessing at least £50 to £75. Any help would be most appreciated.

My Samsung smart tv model number UA46ES7500R switches on and goes off with clicking sound

Hi mark.....I have a Samsung le40r87bd TV which cycles on and off!! Also crackles!! I've looked at the board and there's no visible broken capacitors...any help on this as I've tried another board and main board but still the same!! Thanks rob 👍👍

My Baird 55in tv is clicking and standby light is flashing could it be the compositor on the power board

I have a Samsung TV, that is clicking. I have replaced 4 capacitors because they were leaking. The rest of the capacitors looks fine. The TV is still clicking though, is there any good way to measure if a capacitor is broken with a multimeter?

Hello if my capacitor is a 10 v 1200uF could I use a 25v 1000uF?

I have a Electa samsung front panel LCD TV but that's not power on WHY?

I had this problem with my Samsung Plasma and it had to do with my Google fiber remote, it would just keep clicking and not turn on. I had to let TV sit unplugged for 24 hours and took batteries out off all remotes and disconnected and unplugged google fiber. After 24 hours I turned TV on and after a few clicks it came on. Then I reconnected it to Google Fiber and plugged in power to Google Fiber. I re-paired the Google Fiber remote (after blue light came back on box) by pointing it a Google Fiber box and holding down one of the number buttons. The Fiber box light flashed and it is paired and problem was resolved. It may be because my TV is older, so I have learned not to unplug TV so they stay paired and work together.

First I have a Samsung UN55H6203AFXZA (Version US0o1) I was watching the set a few weeks ago when it suddenly went off and would not power back on. This TV has a standby light and it would not light. I ordered a complete repair kit, switched out all the boards and still it would not power on. Writing in I was instructed to return the whole kit which I did. When Shop JImmy received the kit they informed me that all the boards were tested and passed. In the interim I put the TV from my kitchen into the room and in the same place that the Samsung had resided, (after all it is the NBA & NHL playoffs!). Today I came home and now this TV won't power on and it's standby light is no longer lit. When I went into my bedroom the digital clock on my bedside table was blinking so I know that there must have been a power outage while I was away. I figure that this must have been what happened to the Samsung, (i.e. there was a power outage and when power was restored it must have surged through to the television. Originally I thought since it was plugged into a surge protector that this was not the case and I blamed the TV. Now I think this is not a surge protector, rather it is simply a power strip and a cheap one at that. My question then is, if my supposition is correct, might only the power board be affected on both TV's or might this problem have compromised more than one board in the TV and even effected the LED's? I have a good multi-meter but am not sure I'm running tests correctly. The plug on this board that runs a cable to main board are labeled to test at 13v, I'm getting readings of 1.5v. NOTE: When I bought the "Complete Repair Kit" for the set and changed out all the boards the set was still dead, no standby light, no power... Should I order another power board only, the whole kit, or head to Best Buy for a new set.? The Samsung is 2yrs old... The 2nd set that failed is a Polaroid FLM-3234B Model 3200. Please advise...

Thanks for your video .. I have SAMSUNG plasma display 58 inch, and I am hearing click from it. I opened and I did not see any bulging or damaging capacitor. what do you think is the problem with my TV. Thank you again.

Where can I buy these Panasonic capacitors? I need 10v 4700uf caps and 50v 2200uf caps

my mate got given a 6 year old Samsung plasma with part of the screen missing.did a visual inspection of the caps and reseated all the leads.no joy.any ideas

Still used as the fix today. You would think that they would learn to put larger capacitors in their televisions. Even maybe put a backup on them as small as they are.

my 52" samsung has been clicking for some weeks now,now wont come on at all, have I left it to late to change the capacitors? thanks Terry

i dont I know if I have LCD or plasma it is a Samsung lnt 4016 f it is lnt4061fx / xaa I don't think that's plasma but I'm just checking before I screw everything up LOL let me know you're the best

you should clean the solder joints first

Interesting little video, interestingly you didn't mention the heat capabilities of the capacitors, i noticed the originals were only 85 degree, with the replacements being 105 degrees, should last longer :) Not that i'm one for conspiracy theory's nor do i believe a company would design in obsolescence, but it seems funny how the capacitors around the heat sink are 85 degrees yet the ones with lots of cool air around them are 105 :p

Bro how to check capacitors using multimeter

I have a Samsung and it was repaired a couple times by a repair shop for this issue and once by me, all capacitors look new and I did replace them again just in case they were bad again but now I still get the clicking and no power, is there something else, my standby power is fluctuating so I think the problem is still on the board with the capacitors, any ideas.

I have the 46" version of this TV, but mine had a bad logic board, the power was OK. Even after replacing that it still cost less than $90 all together

i tested my power supply board,in an identical samsung tv, n to my surprise there was no problem with it.. i then installed the main board into the ''test telly'' and the same thing happened as on the other -my- tv, a blinking red light...any ideas?

what if no busted capacitors but still the tv is not working whats the next to be check, too big the tip of your soldering iron,

i have a LED Samsung UA46D8000YR 46 full hd 3D TV, at bottom of TV Red Power Light Blinks On and Off several Times, led lights up showing that it tries to turn on but it can't continously its starts and immediately its shuts of its keep repeating and there is a click sound what should i do?

Mine shut off today and now clicks and wont turn back on. Nothing is bulging of course so i have no idea what it is but i do hear clicking around the power board while its plugged in

top speed up tunes

I have a Panasonic 42" TX-P42U30B which I got second hand, it was fine for about 2 weeks, and then it wouldn't turn on one day. Instead it makes a clicking sound when you turn it on and is unresponsive to the remote. Every 30 seconds or so it makes the same clicking sound, like it's trying to turn on. I googled the fault and there appears to be some people who had a similar issue. I found a thread of similar issues online (www.avforums.com/threads/panasonic-tx-p42s30b-wont-turn-on.1956403/), though the user also reported flashing lights on the front whereas mine just seems to be solid red and unresponsive. Is this something one of you might be able to solve? Kind regards,

If my tv rests for 2 days it’s good as new then after 2 days of being on it doesn’t work

In my lcd when i use flash then i see picture

dont bother with esr meters, you need to change every one in there with a higher voltage rating one, the small ones next to that heatsink go bad aswell, also fit a 40mm fan

Mine old Tv has similar issues but mine does turn on from time to time after I press turn on and of few times it will click few times or it will turn on and display will go black until I turn it on and of again and so on it’s bit annoying should I be looking for the same capacitors cause mine Tv is similar to that in your video is just a lot more bigger it’s 65 inch is the only reason is not in the trash by now, 🤔😂Let me know Otherwise I may end up buying other TV ...

i always tell my mates not to leave their televisions in standby. When you are done watching at the end of the day switch it off with the power switch (if your TV has one) or put it in standby and then turn it off at the plug.

The power boards on these tvs look like they're from the 1980s. I repaired one 10 years ago and it's still going strong today. Ridiculous how they cheap out on them.

Think the soldering iron was too hot. Good stuff otherwise!

What happens if you put the long leg on the shaded side.

You really don't even need a tester unless you see more than one but most of the time you can look at the capacitor and see that it's bad. When it's popped out like a balloon, that's bad. When it's flat, it's fine. I would recommend putting a larger capacitor there but do at your own risk.

My TV tries to turn on with no results but the capasitors seem perfectly fine. Samsung Model: LE26R86BC Model Code: LE36R86BCX/FID Type No. BP26EO

I do not see any bad caps on mine???

I fixed it by clicking the TV buttons a lot 😂😂😂

when i say missing.i mean not showing a picture. derp
