Samsung TV's

How old are they? I saw some Youtube videos on how to DIY fix the problem but I think I'll just go buy a 4K TV. When I bought my TV 7 years ago it was C$800, now a Samsung TV with the same specs sell for $400.
There was a problem with Samsung TVs manufactured during that time period. I forget the exact issue but there was a faulty part that effected some models turning on. I had two of the same model, one had the problem. Contacted Samsung and they fixed it free of charge and I've had no issue since. Is your set clicking but not turning on? If yes, this is most likely a result of the manufacturing issue they had at the time.
Not trying to be an ass here,...but have you tried to turn it on with the button on the TV,?
FAST
Do you still have the contact info? Did they come to your house or did you have to log the TV to their place?
It is very similar to turning the ignition on an old car. You can hear it struggling to turn on and so far it does eventually come on but I fear it might not one day.
It sounds exactly like the problem I had. Each week it would take longer for the set to come on and then eventually it just stopped. Unfortunately I don't have the info anymore as this was a few years ago. The repair service was provided by a third party and they came directly to me, all I had to do was remove the set from the wall. The whole act took approximately 15 mins. I suspect a quick Google search of Samsung repairs/warranties would gather the info you need though.
Thanks. I'll give it a try. BTW: Lots of stuff on the Internet about this problem.
Your profile says "downtowner" so I assume you are here in Toronto.

Faulty electrolytic capacitors caused my Samsung monitor to act in a similar manner. I replaced the fault parts and am very happy with the monitor. This problem was discussed on the Internet for my model monitor.
Samsung makes a shitload of flat panel screens, so they should know what they are doing with respect to the panels, at least.
Whew, I don't have Samsung monitors. Don't ask why, but I have several monitors, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, etc.
BTW: I looked up my Samsung manual. I am way past the "official" warranty period but I'll try to convince them to stand behind their products even after the warranty period has expired.
My old 36 inch CRT JVC finally died after 17 years of loyal service. It was like losing a pet.
Thing weighs about 150 lbs and is as deep as it is high and wide.
I'll keep the remote as a reminder of so many lovely memories...

I'm sorry for your loss. Although nothing can ever replace the bond you had with your CRT, there's comfort in knowing that you can provide a good home to a lonely flat screen.
I'm still a Plasma guy. Can't beat those deep blacks!
Thanks.
I have a plasma downstairs. i agree that it great from a color perspective as well as from an angle viewing perspective.
I did pick up a 4K TV as they no longer have plasma's in stock (only 60" plus sizes, which is too large). Very thin and a great picture. The 4K videos on youtube look great. The picture is not great from a viewing angle perspective, but it suits the need in the bedroom as all the viewing is pretty much straight on.
4K TVs and 3D TVs are a scam imo. Available content in both are still too limited.
Will not even consider wasting money on them until they start widely broadcasting in 4K.

I agree... My Plasma is 3D capable, I've had it for almost 2 years but haven't even taken the glasses out of the package. I bought it because by all accounts it's one of the best pictures available, rivaling the Pioneer Kuro.
