by the way new TV was well over $1000 or repairman 200 plus parts!!! fix for less than $5… my kind of cheap! I have electronics background, but if you dont just work slowly, be careful and dont touch anything else…

Thanks! i almost cried when my TV when dark this week. i figured it would be the power board, but imagined it would be much more complictaed than this easy fix. ordered my slow blow fuses (from seller on amazon). Feel bad for some of you out there, mine lasted well over 5 yrs before this incident… must have gotten lucky for once in my life with electronick! (and yes i did knock on wood). again thanks for video, super helpfull.

Great video but this is a temporary fix, the problem will come back again. There is a known defect with these power supply board. The only true fix is to have the board serviced or purchase a rebuilt board!

Follow Up: Picked up a pack of 10 fuses for $10 incl S&H on eBay. Only one was bad, went ahead and replaced both. Fired right up. Seems like a common prob. w/ this unit to include repeat fuse blows. Busted out the Dremmel and cut an access hole in case of future issues.
I owe you a beer!

Well this seems to be the fix for mine as well. Super excited to have my TV back, however, if this is only a temorary fix, is anyone out there trying to diagnose which Caps are getting overloaded and blowing the fuses? I’d hate to have to cut a hole in my TV to replace the fuse over and over……
@Gregory66cham You need a continuity tester, they run about 5-10 bucks at any automotive shop. The replacement fuses I found are on Amazon.com for $1.39 for 5, plus ship, total was $5.25!

Can you tell if the fuse is blown without the meter?

you save me £230 through this video. my tv wont turn on so i went to the repair shop to seek advice. i was quoted £230 as repair price almost half of the tv.am out of warranty so samsung said i have to pay. i just came on utube yesterday and saw ur video. i immediately dismantled my tv took the fuse out went to the shop and got the same fuse for just £1 and after inserting it my tv is working .am sooooooooooooo happy.thanks very much.

One of my Samsung plasma tv fuses showed no continuity and was bypassed with a paper clip hidden underneath the bad fuse. Bad repair job from whoever had it before me.

So just a quick comment. My symptoms were a clicking every 1.5 seconds and no power on. The red light would flash as it tried to power on. Sometimes I could unplug the TV and it’d work but eventually that stopped working too. So for me, it was capacitors on the power supply block. Soldered a new one in and it worked! One 2200 microfarad 16v (replaced a 10v) at 105deg.C. The screw posts for the VGA port need to be unscrewed with a flathead before taking the back panel off this model. Kind of

Nice try, St Clair Electronics salesman!

Want to add my thanks. You saved me hundreds of dollars, I think. Other than driving an hour each way to get the parts, I was able to fix my TV with nothing more complicated than a screwdriver, in about 10 minutes.
