Re: Samsung TV On Off Cycle Bad Capacitors, PLEASE READ, I need your help guys

Thankyou so much for the replies.

I have read the stories about the stolen formula.So around 2001 2002 ish, this began to be a problem, and Samsung didnt know about this problem, and put these in my TV in 2007?The 5 years in between was not enough for these WB caps to be outed as bad caps?

Im sorry to be beating this to death, but I still fail to see how Samsung could not have known these were bad caps when they installed them.

I dont care what constraints...

Thankyou for the reply Wizard, I apologize if I came off as hostile.

The dark brown ones you speak of are the ones I removed from my TV.
So in your opinion Samsung would have had no idea of Samwhas reputation for bad caps when they bought them out in 2001 or 2002 whatever it was?Or that they should extensively test these before they put them in such a large production run of TVs?

So manufacturers can put faulty products within their own, and as long as it passes warranty...

And gdement- I appreciate your wish to purchase in a free market.However, if its a free market, why do we not hear that these are faulty and that consumers are at risk of purchasing "will only work if warranty installed"LCDs. It seems Samsung and all its affiliated repair shops do all they can to rake in as much money off this situation as possible, all the while denying anything is wrong. I am no big fan of legalities either, but as I mentioned, Samsung has done NOTHING to appease my concerns....

Umm, you still havent answered any of my questions regarding the WB series. I could see your arguments if they did not know the caps they were putting in were obsolete, but they clearly put them in just to prey on the consumer as their TVs failed at a predictable rate.

I already replaced the caps in my TV within 24 hours of this happening, my father is a CET and a master electrician, he told me exactly what the problem was without ever hearing any of this.I didnt need to take it to a shop,...

Research the topic, you sound like a Samsung Tech, this is a huge subindustry that many repair shops, Samsung Authorized Techs, and Samsungs extended warranty program are making BIG money on.I can understand your reluctance to expose this scenario if you work in or own a business involved in this cash cow. I already fixed it myself for 5 dollars in parts, within 24 hours of the problem starting. 300 bucks is the very low end of what people say Samsung is charging them. Oh, and could you please answer...

Oh forgot to mention, please read the thread at cnet.com in their Samsung forum titled- Samsung: LN52A750 Turning on and off by itself

They deleted all my posts from this thread when I revealed the above information, but I saved it all in .pdf

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...
