Power supply or mainboard?

Good evening. I'm trying to fix my old (2005) Samsung tv 46inches. Doesn't power up, relay clicking over and over. Removed all connectors from Power Supply board but for AC 220volts plug, it doesn't click. When I reconnect 1 plug of the mainboard it starts clicking again. I've seen no bulged capacitors on the Power Supply board, possible damaged mainboard? Should I go for a new mainboard? Thank you for reading this mail, any help will be appreciated.

SOURCE: Does anyone know which connector to plug into on power supply

Double check all the connections from the AC line and from the power supply to the other circuit boards. The connectors you are mentioning are identical as per the picture below.
If you need a new power supply, you can find one from this link.

Apparently this is a known problem with flat panel TVs made a few years ago due to bad capacitors in the power supply. This same problem appeared in computer mother boards at about the same time so that the capacitors went open or shorted causing problems.There is videos on You Tube that addresses this problem see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZccykxrtX9g as a starting point and look around for other repairs

Samsung TV shutting off by itself and relays clicking

If you don't know what you're doing, don't open it up to fix it!
There are HAZARDOUS voltages on the power supply board EVEN WITH THE TV UNPLUGGED!!! The capacitors can hold a charge for several weeks!

Clicking noise can be coming from bad capacitors on the power supply board.



It's usually easier to just replace the power supply board.

Samsung lcd has no power, the red power light doesn't even come on. Could this be a fuse? Power supply board? If so, where are the fuses located?

Plasma and LCD TV sets are prone to having capacitors in the power supply section fail. This is the most likely cause for the probem you describe. When capacitors fail your will commonly see one or more of the following symptoms.
  • No video, Power light is on or blinking.
  • TV is making a clicking noise.
  • TV takes a while to come on
  • Screen is very dim or flickers.

Again, You can get a power supply repair kit with the parts, detailed instructions, and support from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com . Or just click here to see more details on their kit.

Here are pictures of capacitors...Notice that the ones below look bloated. They have failed and will need to be repalced.

Hi - My Samsung LNT5271FX 52" LCD TV won't turn on. It just clicks over and over and over, but never turns on. What's up? A relay?

This is a capacitor problem. Several Samsung models have bad capacitors installed on the power supply boards. Samsung currently offers a recall fix for this and other models. Call Samsung direct to see if your TV qualifies for this one time fix. It is a free fix, so if the person on the other end doesn't have a clue, ask to speak to a supervisor or hang up and try again.

No picture or sound/wont power up

Your mainboard is damaged, the mainboard is the one where you plug all the cables (component HDMI), it is really easy to replace, you only need to take special care with the screws.
1. remove all screws in the back.
2. unplugg all cables from mainboard.
3. remove all srews from mainboard and replace it.
4. put all screws back and then plug all cables again.
5. double check all mainboard cables are properly secured.
6. Test TV.
7. put the back cover and secure it with the screws.

8. Enjoy your TV again.
