Angry Samsung TV Won't Turn On ? EZ Fix

If you own/ed a Samsung tv that's been cycling on & off several times before it FINALLY comes on and then 1 day it DOESN'T....this is for you. Cost for service technician repair alleged from $150 to as much as the cost for a new tv.

I read on the i-net and watched a youtube video about an EZ fix. I ordered the parts....bought a soldering iron....quit fishing for a day.....and got to work.

Removed old bulging capacitors....installed new....plugged in tv & PRESTO.

Total cost

$13.95 repair kit
$15.00 soldering iron because I gave mine to the kids when we moved to TV
