Hi, I have a Samsung LE32A446 and I have replaced the capacitors with no luck.
There is no clicking sound either, so the problem lies elsewhere. I got the TV from my brother in law who had tried to change two of the 4 caps but given up. When I got it home, it actually worked, but only a couple of times. So I replaced all 4 caps, switched it on only to see a red blinking dot on the button and a very faint sound as if of something charging up (the caps?). Anyhow, I gave up and left it in the basement for a week, then I brought it up again today after reading about a similar issue on this site. I looked around really carefully on the boards, but all seems fine. Then I tried to turn it on, and it worked, I turned it on one more time with the button in front, It worked, but on the third time all was back with only the faint sound again.
My question is: Could it be the eprom, if so one of the two on the attached image, or on another board?
Apparently the TV needs some time off alone (several days perhaps) to be able to switch itself on when plugged in. Is this because the eprom(s) need time to forget, or is it something else that needs a fresh start?
Hope someone can help.
