HPS6373x/XAA Power issue

My brother in law gave me this tv because it wouldnt power on and by the indications he got from Samsung and the internet, it seemed like an easy fix. The internet told him it was a capacitor issue and a repair shop (that knew I wasnt going to have it repaired there) told me the capacitor issue was more common with the 46" model and the 63" had issues with the Y main boards. I checked every board inside of this thing and I can NOT find a single blown capacitor. What can I do?

Needless to say, it's probably not a blown capacitor. If the unit will not power on at all (control/standby indicators are not lit) the problem may be as simple as a blown fuse on your SMPS (near the AC socket) or on your Main Logic PCB. You should also use your fluke/voltmeter to verify that the Vs, Va, Vsc, and Ve values are reasonably close to those specified on the panel label. Re-post your findings!

SOURCE: Which Replacement Power Board for LNT4665F Samsung LCD TV?

Howdy,
It would be a lot cheaper if you just replace the two caps that have gone bad. Just get a cheap solder pencil from the store and about an inch of solder and you are in business.
The Power Supply Board is the center Board (towards left) after you remove the back off the TV. Remove Board from TV with the 6-7 screws. Replace capacitors CM852 & CM853; 2200ufd 25volts.

Thaks for using FIXYA, BIG IRISH.

You can't see if a cap is good or bad jus looking at them they have to be measured>They loose their capacitance because they dry overtime.
I do sugest that you replace you power supply module or replace all caps.Possibily you may have a broken line in the PCB

Samsung model ln52a750r1fxza start to power up chimes and then clicks off then repeats itself - unpluged and pluged back in just repeats without me doing a thing.

Had a similar issue with my set LNT 4061FX/XAA. After doing some research on line I found that Samsung company had an issue with some capacitors. There is a group action law suit. I found that my set was included. Called Samsung and they were extremely nice and helpful. They called a local repair shop, gave them a invoice charge #, and the repair shop ordered parts needed for me. I took TV to them (althought I was offered home repair), and my TV was fixed for "FREE"!!! Got it back and working better than it had in years!!!!! Thank you Samsung!!!!

SAMSUNG TV WONT TURN ON JUST CLICKS

I just fixed this very same problem. The capacitors are the problem. However, I think that if you have some minimal skills with soldering, you can fix this yourself. You just need to take out the system board, then the power supply parts are on the top right. The bad capacitor(s) will be bulging at the top and possibly have some brown stuff coming out. The ones that go bad are 1000microfarad, 10V, however you can replace them with higher voltage. I got 35V caps from radio shack for 1.59 each. You just need to solder out the bad ones and then put the new ones in and solder. Remember that the negative end goes on the side with the bold black part of the circle on the system board. Then just cut off the extra ends of the capacitors. If you are capable of doing this yourself, you will spend at most 6 dollars instead of however much a technician costs.
