Big thanks to everyone on here,
I have had the same TV in the basement now for 6 months, I paid £1100 for this tv about 2 - 3 years ago. Had it working for 14 months before the clicking and the not powering on started. I assumed it was dead.
Had to buy another on one of those buy now pay later deals.
Yesterday after reading everyone's comments about the capacitors I thought I would open it up and have a look.
4 of the little buggers were blown or bulging, I replaced with 15v parts from maplin (£1.84), I have a fully working TV. Very easy to do.
Typically I bought another Samsung a 46" series 6 and am wondering if this has better components?
Will keep my solder iron handy just in case...
This is a terrible oversight by Samsung and I am shocked that they will not see these capacitors as a fault. Its as if these tv's were manufactured to fail after the warranty expires. My next TV will be from another manufacturer.
More complaints needed to Samsung's CS.
More praise needed for this forum.
