I'm waiting for the tv repairman. I have a 52 inch Samsung LCD that is 2 1/2 years old. The warranty went out 6 months ago and the tv won't even come on
So, I'll probably have a $2300. paperweight

But it's a beautiful sunny day, and I intend to enjoy it

We have a 42 inch Samsung that's having problems coming on. It sits and clicks for awhile before it comes on. I'm not happy because it's only a couple of years old. Our last one lasted for about 18 years. They don't make things as well as they used to because they lose money......this way we have to buy more often.

Gayle.....I'm so glad that you're back home all safe and sound!!! I thought about you so much on your trip! I would love to go somewhere like that! I hope that you found some time to enjoy your stay there!!

Diana, your TV has faulty capacitors. This is a huge problem with Samsung. They haven't done a recall, but they have had a huge number of complaints about this same problem. Mine clicked like that, but it never came on.

Betsi! you are a wonder!!! A TV repairman to boot! It's the pits the way newer TV's, appliances, etc, just do not last long enough.

I'm glad that you let Diana know what the problem is so that when the repairman comes, she can be prepared - I don't trust them!

Thanks, Betsi, for the information! I had noticed that there were a lot of complaints on the internet with Samsung tvs. We bought ours because Samsung was the top tv in the Consumer's Digest. Bummer!!!!!
