Samsung 52 inch LNT5265F has clicking sounds when I turn TV on. It takes about 5 minutes for TV to finally turn on. When it does turn on, it has various spots on the screen. I have to turn it off and then back on to remove the spots. Tonight the power went off because of Hurricane Irene. When the power came back on, I am now unable to turn tv on without it turning off immediately. I need a repairman. Where can I find one? This TV cost me $4000 4 years ago. I need help!

This sounds similar to a known problem with bad capacitors in some Samsung TVs. Even though the TV is out of warranty, Samsung extend the repair period for affected TVs. Get your TV model and serial number off the back and then call Samsung at: 1-800-Samsung (1-800-726-7864).

Explain the problem and let them know that you have heard about similar problems and heard they were being repaired out of warranty. In my case, they sent a tech out and did the repair for free.

If for some reason they will not do it, the repair is quite simple for someone who can solder and you can find details here: http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/samsung-tv-capacitor-clicking-issue-and-free-repair/
