Samsung LA32A550 takes 10 seconds to turn on

[timk]

Hi guys,

I've got a Samsung LA32A550P1FXXY that takes 10 seconds to turn on. It has gradually gotten slower to turn on over the years. I did some Google searching and found heaps of posts related to bad capacitors causing issues, but I had a look at my power supply board and the caps don't appear to be bulging or anything like that.

Not really sure what I should look into first, but any pointers would be appreciated!

Cheers

You need to check the standby Voltage, PWR ON/OFF signal, DC Voltage right at the two legs of the main yellow filter caps, etc.
Also upload the pictures of the whole backside of the TV and other boards too.
Also Verify the model number if it is Samsung LA32A550 or LN32A550.
It may also have this cap problem on the main board:

I would replace the 4 small caps in the centre of the board 2 blue and 2 black
with panasonic FR FM from a reputable dealer. They dry out and do not show
any visible signs that they are bad.
