$0 Fix for Blank Clicking Samsung TV

$0 fix works for UN55D6500VFXZA Samsung TV and other similar ones that click and don’t turn on when the power button is activated. If it turns out to be the 20V capacitors, then it’s a $5 fix!

Thanks for posting the video. I have a Samsung UN65JU6500 that wasn't clicking but initially showed symptoms of shutting down after about 30 minutes powered on and stay off for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting by itself and being good for the night. Recently it began doing this repeatedly every 30 minutes or so to the point it was almost unwatchable. Sometimes when I moved the TV on the wall mount it would cycle power. I found your video and went straight to work. Inspected capacitors and didn't see anything, removed the power board, flipped it over and found cracked solder joints at the transformer to board connections. Removed old solder and replaced with fresh solder. So far so good. Thanks again.

Have never left a comment on YouTube - but after fixing my TV last night I felt compelled to thank you for saving me a $1000 on a new TV. Fix worked like a champ!

Absolute life saver. Can’t believe how simple this was. I almost pulled the trigger on a new tv for the kids play room but your instructions were a last resort and it worked as advertised. Thanks mate 👍🏼

I ordered a repair kit and found this video while waiting for it to come in. Couldn't see any obvious problems on the PCB, and didn't see the problem joints till I watched this video and inspected the solder joints with a magnifying glass. It's not that obvious, but redoing those 2 joints fixed the TV and saved me lots of money. Many thanks

I had exactly the same problem and the fix was exactly the same as in your video. With this fix you saved me at least $1, 000 from buying a new TV. Thanks so much brother!!! The best YouTube fix I've had so far.

I tightened and checked all connections, ,,FIXED LIKE NEW....THANKS ALOT...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BROTHER

Thank you!!!! What an easy fix. My TV started randomly turning off but would come back on. The frequecy of this increased and then just started clicking and wouldn't turn on. Found your video and was back watching in a couple hours. I'm a couple days in and the TV is going strong! For this many people to have the EXACT same problem, Samsung should be aware of this. I hope they've seen all of these comments! Your video was perfect! The only thing I would add is to show how to ground the board. I saw the clip on the circuit board but not the other end to see how you actually ground it.

Exactly what the doctor ordered. Saved my 10 year old plasma. For now. Looks like I'm putting off getting that OLED again...

I found one of a huge Samsung down at the corner. Carted it home. Got cables out of the attic. Used the cable remote to turn the Johnny on. It was GREAT for 6 minutes. It the cut off. I'll unplug it and this weekend check inside. If the fix is this easy, Sunday I'll have a, "New, " Smart TV.

This was the only solution that helped me with my TV not coming on. After I resoldered the joins it's been working like a dream for the last 6 months! What a find! Thank you for the assist!

U the man!

Was getting ready to toss out and buy another set.
Thanks to u I won't have too.
Thanks so much for posting

Hey I found this tv 55inch in a dumpster I took it home YouTube it found this video and did the same thing and it works thanks a lot

[troylyons]

Same problem with my Samsung 55’ D7000 TV. This actually worked! Thank you for posting, saved me from buying a new TV. 🙌

[eternalwanderer]

Thank you good sir! I saved myself over $300 by doing this. All the solder joints to the heatsinks and transformer on my 2012 Samsung were bad and a simple reflow solved everything

[adamthompson]

100% perfect power board out of TV & sure enough, it was like my power board was uses as a stunt board in this crown shaped cracks around 2 joints. I re-soldered all joints on transformer to be on the safe side. Half an hour job which included removing TV off wall bracket.

Happy sad moment as I was eyeing a new 65 Inch TV with a it will have to wait. Thanks heaps!!!!

[RalphSummer]

Thank you so much, this was exactly my issue 👍. In a dark room, I was even able to see little sparks coming out of this spot, while The TV was turning on and off again. Now my TV survives a little longer 🤗

[sherirowlett]

Great video. What kind of solder did you use? Thank you!

[TheDchodoo]

100% had exact same problem. Two resoldered joints and the TV is back working normally. Thanks very much for this.

[Taikuri]

Thanks a lot! That was precisely the problem. Exchanged some capacitors for less than a dollar and 1 hour of work. 👍

Thanks so much for this tip, fixed my samsung with ease. My 12 year old tv will go on for many more years.
