Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi! I'm Mike ... I came here after having issues w/ my Samsung TV. I'm an older guy, coming from a long history of building my own PC's ... started with a C64 back in the very early 80's and a hacked Atari 2600 . I was a TV repair guy in the Army (back when TV's were made with tubes) and the became an Electrical Engineer after my Army days. I still like to tinker and fix things myself as much as I can. However, having 6 kids can make time for tinkering a bit troublesome! Here's to electronics and all that they do for us!

Hi all! First post here, and I'm hoping you can help me. This site is great, and it's gotten me 50% of the way there already

Now my issue. I'm the owner of a Samsung LNT4069FX 40” LCD television. A few weeks ago, the TV started having power-on problems. I didn't see it myself, but my wife began the initial complaints (isn't that how it always goes). Once the weekend hit, I got up in the morning to find the TV exhibiting the clicking power-cycle problem. Power on the set, the power LED blinks and your hear the relay clicking on and off. No picture ever came up.
