When I switch on my Samsung 40 in LCD TV, half of the pcicture comes inverted and after a minute or so, it straightens. Initially the picture is hazy and then the picture turns normal. Sometimes, the display goes blank and if I trun off and switch of the TV again immediately, the display is back. The TV is about 2 years old. The Samsung technician says, I have to change the Display Panel which I do not believe. Pls advise

This problems could be also causes by the board the call the T-CON docoders board,it sit in at middle of the bottom of the LCD screen panel.Because this board decoders incomming pictture signal before it go into the LCD screen panel to produced a picture.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish T-CON decoderd board for the replacement.

Clean the contacts on the ribbon cables coming out of the display at the top of the screen that go into the T-Con board, (Timing and Control) Usually only one is the problem. Mine was the far left one shown in the picture below. Your set layout may be somewhat different, but this procedure should still apply.

when I switch on my - when-switch-qdel4etuapcunyxwb0lm4e2p-5-0.jpg These Samsung's also have a problem with the ribbon cable on the upper left corner of the screen underneath the metal frame. This ribbon cable goes into the screen from the top, very narrow control board. Squeeze the top left corner of the screen to see if your picture changes. If it does, you'll have to place a 1/4" thick about 2" long, horizontal piece of non-conductive foam underneath the metal frame to put pressure on the ribbon cable. This will cause the separated conductive strips on this cable to make contact again, and if done right, should restore your picture. Worst case, you'll have to replace the screen if the cable has become completely separated.
This fixed my 46" LN46A650A1F


Your set should be reasonably close enough to mine to use the above procedure. Good luck!

My tv keeps clicking on and off at startup. Sometimes taking 3-4 attempts to turn the screen on. Also, it will start without picture only sound

Your #1 suspect: LCD inverter, which supplies white light to the screen.

Your #2 suspect: the switched power supply, specifically 24VDC lead that supplies power
to the LCD inverter.

Either way, enjoy your 40-in set while it lasts, since its soon to be heading for a TV repair service.

Samsung LNR408D 40 in. HDTV

Sounds like a backlight going bad or possibly the inverter. Check each backlight first for dark discoloration on the ends. If that checks out good then it's the inverter.
