Re: Samsung PN64D7000 Keeps Power Cycling Never Stays On
Update: The tech came and replaced the Main Board.
Said that if you don't update the software on these things the board can go bad.
Go figure.
Thanks again for everyone's help.

Will do.
And another quick tip: Don't buy Samsung Smart TV plasma televisions.
I actually have the 51 inch version of this exact TV and within 3 months needed to have both the main board and sound board replaced.Last edited by tapereader; 12-04-2012, 05:56 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN64D7000 Keeps Power Cycling Never Stays On
Since this TV is only 18 mos old, I gave Samsung a piece of my mind and they extended the warranty for a 1 time courtesy repair.
Just a little tip for those experiencing similar issues.
Appreciate the help from those who responded to my thread.Leave a comment:

What makes you think Main Board instead of a Power Supply related problem?Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN64D7000 Keeps Power Cycling Never Stays On
Here's an audio file of the clicking/whining noise that's coming from the board after it shuts off.
The pause in between is when the TV is powering back on....Leave a comment:

Okay, opened it up and took some photos.
These images are of the main board where the clicking sound is coming from.
The red arrow (in image 0500) is pointing to the approximate location where this sound is coming from.
Not sure if these help. Don't see anything obviously damaged/blown. Then again, I'm not a technician....Last edited by tapereader; 12-04-2012, 11:11 AM.Leave a comment:

Yes.
But you have to actually start the upgrade manually. These sets won't do it automatically.
TV doesn't stay on long enough to even click on the menu.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN64D7000 Keeps Power Cycling Never Stays On
Okay, so I tried to update the firmware. I can only see the menu for about 1 second before the unit turns back off again.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN64D7000 Keeps Power Cycling Never Stays On
Haven't opened the back yet.
As far as firmware, there was an update on 11/22 that hasn't been installed.
Will try to install it now (not sure I can get the screen to stay on long enough to do it though).
Will also post pics when back is removed.
Thanks for help, much appreciated.Leave a comment:

Re: Samsung PN64D7000 Keeps Power Cycling Never Stays On
Yes, that's correct.
I see the splash screen with the logo and then the HDMI input selection from my receiver which is normal at startup.
Then the power cycling starts.Leave a comment:

Samsung PN64D7000 Keeps Power Cycling Never Stays On
Was hoping someone might have some insight into a problem that just started with my Samsung Plasma.
Went to watch it and the following happens:
1. TV turns on
2. Smart TV logo appears
3. TV turns off
4. Repeated clicking sound from back of TV
Steps 1-4 repeat.
Any feedback is appreciated.
