Trouble with turning on the TV (Samsung UN55C8000)

When I try to turn on the power, all I get are these clicking sounds about 3 - 4 seconds apart. This goes on forever now. In the beginning, it makes these clicking sounds for about a minute and then turns on. Then, the delay got longer and longer and now it won't turn on at all. I tried looking in the back to find any obvious signs of a blown capacitor, but I don't see any faults. I don't have any test equipment to check... plus, I'm afraid of tinkering with it too much. I'm not a TV expert. Is this fixable on my own or do I have to take to an expert. Checking online, there are easy fixes for earlier models of the Samsung TV line, but this 8000 series seems complex. Help?

SOURCE: TV Picture Goes Black

I had the same exact problem.
I removed the bulb and cleaned it. There is a small screen at the top of the bulb and it was covered with dust. Once it was cleaned I replaced the bulb and it solved the problem.
Thanks to those who posted the solutions

SOURCE: Samsung HCM 4215W when on, no picture timer blinks & chirp sounds

Sounds like a shorted component in the power supply or the high voltage circuit.
Time to call a professional.

SOURCE: samsung DLP TV won't turn on

This sounds to me like one of two possibilities. First, check your ballast. If you're going through bulbs faster than you think you ought to be, you may have a ballast that is overloading. Its the 3" x 8" circuit board that connects directly to the bulb. They are plentiful and often cheap. Thats what I'd try first. If that doesnt' do it, I would invest in a new power supply board. That the board that the tv power cable hooks directly in to. This should give you a start, Comment back if you still need further help. Good luck.

You either have a cold solder joint in your horizontal deflection circuits or your or in your horizontal output circuit. please be careful due to the fly-back transformer still holds power even unplugged until you discharge it.( ground it out). Hope this helps.

Samsung UN75NU8000F red light blinking twice, click when powering on, backlights work

Unhook the 2 flat ribbon cables going to the panel boards, power the set on and see if the backlights stay on, also if you're on the correct input you should have sound, this would point to a bad panel and make the set non repairable, the samsung sets, from 55 to 75 inch with NU as the 2nd set of letters in the model had a lot o of panel issues. If you want to go a step farther, hook one ribbon cable up at a time and you should see half a picture on one of the connections

32" Samsung TV, No Power or Sound, power LED on, flashes 3 times

Most likely the set has lost vertical sweep or the feedback from that circuit. This will shut the set down to prevent a horizontal line from burning the face of the CRT. This will have to be looked at by a technician.
