Mine was turning off and then automatically turns on in few mins. Most of these problems in Samsung TVs are due to its capacitors in the power board. I dont know if your TVs issue is the same but looks like due to capacitors. I would just try this kit and it is not that hard to replace them. The kit generally has more that what is required. I just replaced all in my mother board that matched what is in the kit and it worked for me.

Some of the capacitors are done; very common of Samsung TV's. This capacitor kit will do the trick. You can tell which capacitors are done by looking at their expanded or burst tops.

Mine does not make any clicking noise. That definitely sounds like a defect to me.

Yes, I have this model, and it makes the popping noises after it has been on for a short time. With mine, it goes away after the TV has been on for a while. It made them a few times after I turned it off as well.

Yeh, I bought mine 10/15/08 and had the same problem.It turned out to be a ground loop between my Receiver and my Samsung TV.I put a two-prong "cheater" on the Samsung power plug and that fixed it.Not the best way, but the hum is gone.

i just took mine into the shop for the same problem, very irritating hearing it turn on and off all the time just to start, it would take like 10 minutes for my tv to finally turn on, the technician at the shop said the power supply was bad and i wasn't getting enough power to the main board to turn the TV on, 200 bucks later, I am happy, fix it, it is worth it.

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

If you call Samsung now they're aware of the problem and are taking care of it. My TV has been out of warantee for about a year now but they're sending a tech to fix it at no cost as long as it is indeed the capacitors that are faulty.

yes, you are going to need to take it in to a repair shop. If you do a search on the internet you will find many others that have had this problem. TV's now days don't get repaired in the true sense. complete boards are just replaced

I am sorry but I have not seen the problem you describe with my flat screen. It does not sound normal for the TV. Good luck.

I dont seem to be having that problem. Make sure you are using an optical cable or HDMI w/A.R., not RCA plugs. Or, if your TV has the ability, shut off the internal speakers.

Rick H, It sounds like it will need service. Reach out to the Samsung customer service center to try some troubleshooting. If that doesn't work, they can set your TV up for a repair. Thanks for your support of Samsung products. --Mr. S

I think its just a faulty product mine has been making the clicking sound since I got it.

When you turn on your television, you get a sound that is similar to a jet engine whining when you start it up. It whines and gets faster and faster, and really never goes away. Soon, it will lock up and your TV won't come on at all. What is happening is that the bearings on the color wheel are worn out and are grinding at a very high speed. If you hear a whine, get ready to replace it soon.

Mine did the same thing before it quit turning on completely. There's a part inside that is failing, and unless you are still under warranty it will cost more to fix it than it will to buy a new one. I ended up having to buy a new, different tv. I wish you luck but unfortunately you are probably going to need to purchase a new tv.

Yes, I have the same exact issue and it's very annoying. It seems to me that it is the plastic casing. The popping starts about 10 minutes after I turn on the television and lasts about 20-30 minutes. It then stops and starts again when I turn it off. I wonder what we can do about it?? Seems like something that Samsung won't be able to fix.... Has anyone contacted Samsung?
