I have a Samsung LCD model LNT4665FX/XAC that is 5 years old and started have problems a few months ago turning on and now, I cannot get started. It used to click on and off for a few minutes before turning on. This got progressively worse until it now does so indefinitely. I was about to throw it out until I started reading online that it was a common problem and that the potential fix was relatively cheep. I have absolutely no experience replacing capacitors or soldering but am somewhat handy. I have removed the back cover of the tv and have found a total of 3 capacitors that look like they are leaking. One is rather obvious and the other 2 are somewhat subtle. The middle capacitor in the series of 5 is the obvious one, also the one right to its left looks like it is leaking a bit. Finally, the far left one in the middle row has a slight leak as well. The board is a Hansol model SIP460A and the capacitors are Samwha. The last one I mentioned is 1000 uF 10V and I am assuming the other 2 are as well but I can not read them as they are too close to the other capacitors on the board. From what I understand, the fix is removing the board, removing the capacitors in question and replacing them with new (better) ones. As I am new to this, any guidance would be immensely appreciated.
