Samsung TV repair help

**marsh chicken** · 06-21-2017, 06:30 PM

Wife is watching TV the other night and the TV emits a loud bang or pop. Screen is blank and no sound. Light to the TV works fine so it is getting power. Any ideas what it could be?

60 inch plasma
3 years old

Exact same problem. This is the second time mine has done it. Apparently it is a common thing that happens. I've gotten it fixed one time and I think it was around 200 bucks. I think there is actually is or was a class-action lawsuit about it. There's a catchy name for it but I can't remember what it is.

I had a dlp tv years ago that did the same thing. The bulb cost $150 or so to replace and was a 5 minute job. Not sure about plasma but prob a similar scenario. Google it and the TV size and you prob get the solution

Otherwise I have a bad ass led I got I'll sell you for a little more than I paid for it.

On the bulb for dlp it was a bulb amd the key was to not touch it with your bare hands.

Where did you get it fixed?

I took it to some TV repair shop off of N. Main St. It was the only one that was open and I needed it fixed ASAP because I think a bowl game was coming on or something

This one was in the G550. That's part of the reason we are upgrading.

I thought you was going to trade the 550, I see you still got it. You upgrading the interior with some laminate floors and counter tops

The 650 will have a stamped concrete floor and butcher block countertops made from California redwoods.

Google your tv and the symptoms. People sell the boards, usually both for under 100 bucks and it's usually only one of the boards inside. I changed mine pretty easily but I had to buy both because I couldn't diagnose which side was bad.
