I have a Samsung LNS3251D 32-Inch LCD HDTV , that after two years of use is going Off/On every ten seconds after the initial turn On. I understand from reading this forum that the Samsung 40 inch LCD has a known capacitor problem (CM806, 811,812 & 817). However I opened that back of my Tv and could not identify the same capacitors on my power circuit board (different labeling). Also, a visual inspection of the capacitor's don't show any discoloring or bulge. Has anyone resolved the same power issue on a Samsung 32inch TV?

In almost all cases where the set is taking a long time to turn on and then turning off it will be the Power Supply board that will have bulging capacitors, usually three to five. Look on the upper right side of the Power Supply and look for any blown caps. You can replace these caps and you will be fine. Now the other cause can be the Power Switch is shorting out. You can disconnect the the Power Switch but not the IR sensor and then turn ON the set with your TV remote and see if this stops the problem. If you are not skilled in component level repair on the Power Supply board then buy a new Power Supply board and install it.

I amd wondering on the Power Board #BN96-03775A on

Usually if they will plug in it is right, but if you have one of those that fit all, then I wouldn't be afraid to start with the first since if it doesn't work, you can always try the second. One may give a better picture than the other, that you might compare with.

My samsung 32' will turn on fine, then a few seconds later turn off. I dont understand.

I guess the power supply board has defected. It could be problem of others board like T-con, inverter, main board. To find out exact defective board, the TV must be open and check.

Initial hdtv-322

This tv is basically the same as the ILO 32HD. Look for posts on this model and you will understand that these tv's are "disposable" and the manufacturer will not stand behind them.
