Hi all... i bought a 40" samsung tv 2 years ago on boxing day for 1300 i think it was(1 year warrently has ended)... now 2 years later i cant turn it on... the problem is when i try to turn it on it will make a click click noise, it sounds like its about to turn on but doesnt.. i was just wondering if any others had this same problem and had it fixed or if you fixed it your self..
I did do a google search for "TV makes clicking noise" and there were MANY posts from other people around the world with the same problem... here are a few links of the problem that i think i have, it looks to be not too hard to DIY fix it but i dont know so i would like to know from other people!
my tv has the exact same symptoms of this guys site, but now my tv just clicks and not start

looks like i have to replace that cylinder shaped thingy that they say you can get at the source, i went there today and didnt realy see much that looked like the one in the link picture... i did see one that was very tiny, i will probably take apart my TV later if it doesnt start..

i took apart the tv today and i think i found the dead capicator, take a look at the pics i uploaded there looks to be 2 capactiors leaking black stuff at the top?
i also got the model number down, LN-t4061f
forgot to mention my tv now does not turn on at all, it just makes a clicking noise for like 20 minutes till i just unplug it to stop the clicks.... the power button wont stop clicks at all... i have to unplug the b****
