Samsung Plasma HP-T5054 won't power up and clicks when plugged in

[dlhodgson]

I have a 50" Samsung Plasma (Model #HP-T5054) that will not power on. When I plug in the power cord, there is one or two clicks and a green led goes on on one of the internal boards, but no power. It will then wait about 5-7 seconds and try again before clinking.

In searching the internet, I read that it could be a bad power board, so I bought a used, but working, power board BN44-00190A and switched it out for the one in there. When I plugged in the power cord, same clicking problem. I'm not sure if it's a different board (such as the one with the green LED that is mounted behind a different board) or something else.

Searched for bad caps but didn't see any.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the class action settlement here The HP-T5054 in covered and Samsung will pay to have it repaired or pay you back if it has already been repaired due to faulty power supplies. I hope this helps.
