flashing red lpght and clicking ln46a550p3fxzc

[v.i-guy]

hi everyone I posted this in another on going thread but I thought I would start a new post about my problem. I have the same problem as most guys do that have a 46 Samsung. I got this tv off of a guy for free he said it wouldn't turn on will when I got it home it turned on and worked for a couple of months but once in awhile the right side of the screen would go kinda black brown shady .if I moved the screen or tapped the tv it would go back to a good pic again. will I went to turn it on two days ago and the dreaded flashing red light and clicking. so I pulled the power supply and found that someone had replaced the capacitors but they were not soldered very will they were cold soldered so I resoldered them and put it back in and made a mistake I crossed the two plugins at the bottom of the board cn1808 cn1809. I still don't know I how I could have done that but the tv still came on for about 5 minutes and the picture was great but then it shut down again and back to the dreaded flashing and clicking. so did I fry something else by getting them backwards any help with would be great.

Have you tried unplugging and swapping cn108 and cn109 to where they are in the correct position?

Swaping the cn1808 cn1809 won't make any difference, they are just for the backlights
I would check for bad solder connections on all components attached to the heatsinks
