I had a problem with the TV going on and off several times before "warming up" and then having pink dots. I would have to reboot to get rid of the dots. I called 1-800-SAMSUNG and reported that I had problems with the capacitors. That is what was causing the problems - cheap capacitors and Samsung is aware that this has caused many TV's to malfunction. My set was not under warranty but Samsung sent a technician across two state lines to fix my TV. As long as the problem is the capacitors Samsung will cover this service call 100%. My TV is fine now. BTW - capacitors which are sold in Radio Shack are not expensive. Why Samsung chose to put the cheapest Korean capacitors in their expensive TVs is a mystery.
So if your TV need warming up and has pink dots on the screen - call 1-800 -SAMSUNG and tell them your capacitors are malfunctioning.

Red and pink dots on the screen Samsung plasma tv

I can't see the points on the video. However, I think you are talking about dead pixels. I'm afraid dead pixels can't be repaired.

Whydo i have pink dots on my screen

Hi gailandst632,

I saw you post stating that you have pink spots/dots on your Screen.

to determine what the problem is we weill need to turn your computer off and boot into the BIOS screen.

1. Turn your Computer Off, then as soon as you power the machine On keep on tapping F1 on the keyboard to get the BIOS screen it will be a Blue screen with white fonts on it, in that screen see if the pinks dots are present or not.

2. If the pink dots are present in BIO then that means that the LCD screen of your Laptop needs to be replaced.

3. You will need to call your manufacturer regarding this concern check if your system is still in warranty, because this will be very expensive if you are out of warranty.

4. All manufacturers will cover a pixelated LCD screen if the dots or pixelated area has at-least 5 or more dots/pixelated areas on the LCD screen.

I hope that his will help you with the concern that you have posted.

Have a nice day.

Three-year old 47" Samsung LCD. At first, some pixelation, usually correctable by turning TV off then on again. This situation lasted months, getting slightly more frequent each week. More recently, the TV...

1. the motherboard might be bad and you will need to replace it. 2. or The power supply is bad
Chances are if its making clicks the power supply is bad and you will need to replace it. Which makes sense because constantly powering the tv on and off will damage the power supply or possibly short out your motherboard. These things usually cost about 200 bucks to fix at a local tv repair store.

Self- reboots at start-up, then shows picture but with pink dots.

Howdy,
It sounds like you have a Power Supply Board problem. The PSB 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 CM811, CM812, CM817 & CS806; 1000ufd 25volts. It is the board to the left and you notice that the four cap tops are swollen.
It is easy to replace get a stanard solder pencil and you are in business.

Thanks for using FIXA, BIG IRISH.

Samsung lnt4065 problem

It sounds like the TV was most likely dropped, and there is probably some breakage! I would call right away to have the set exchanged!
