Quick Rundown-My TV (Samsung LN46A750R) starts shutting itself on and off all by itself last Sunday, about 6 months past the warranty expiration date of 12 months. I wont go into my battles with Samsung,but after researching the internet and finding thousands of others with similar problems with Samsung LCDs, I made a startling discovery. Basically, they took Samwha WB series(which according to Samwhas own site, are obsolete since 1999)capacitors and installed them on the power supply.These power supply capacitors have a very high tendency to blow up in these LCD units, but Samsung will admit NOTHING. They are abusing the high failure rate of these to sucker people into extended warranty and expensive repairs.
Now heres where you guys come in. Take a few minutes and look up Samsung LCD on off issues on google. Between the internet and anecdotal evidence, this thing is HUGE! Where I need your expertise is finding out all you guys can about the WB series capacitors I removed from my TV, a 5$ fix instead of the $800 through Samsung.
There were 2 of each in my power supply:
Samwha WB series 25V, 1000 uf, 105 C(M)
Samwha WB series 10 V, 1000 uf, 105 C(M)
They were installed in circuits rated on the power supply board rated 32V and 13.5V respectively, which I do believe means there were underrated too(need confirmation on this too)
I have a friend with a very high priced corporate lawyer friend(lol I know), and he wants me to put together a package for him so he can see Ive got a case. I need your guys expert information on these capacitors so I can present some expert opinion to him, so any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Samsung has stonewalled me every step of the way, they know about this and are covering it up(they deleted many of my posts on cnet.com and banned me for no reason), the level of corporate spin and deception I have experienced is almost nauseating, it almost seems like a movie at times its so surreal.
Thank you in advance for any help, many people are affected by this, maybe even you.
