So video said get numbers off old board and order new board.  Looked on eBay and found a guy who will repair mine for $55.  He's done 117 and has 100% feedback so I think it's the way to go.

Thanks everyone.

So, electrolytic caps deteriorate over time. For linear power supplies, this is not a serious abrupt problem. However, for switch mode supplies which are 99% of the market, aging caps are a problem because ESR increases and the supply shuts down.

I have repaired my Samsung 42" twice...both times--caps.

I don't use it any more because I got a modern huge tv.

First you people are geniuses and someone here will know what to do.

in the old days of television repair that used to be companies I would publish service guides for the various televisions radios whatever. Don't know if those companies even exist anymore? The problem with working on electronic stuff it's the same as watch repair with a blindfold on your success is not guaranteed unless you can see what you're doing and you can't see what you're doing without the schematic unless well sometimes you can is have to be lucky or know what the problem is.

older TV

you didn't say how old? I would start with the power supply but as it looks like a new design television the power supplies can get to be quite tricky then we go back to it be nice to have a schematic.

this is America we don't need a license or have a corrupt BBC. but don't worry I'm sure we have somebody that's corrupt somewhere that's going to steal all of our money in the name of greater good.

T V these days is just full of rubbish programs. I think its better that it doesn't work. I don't own a TV I haven't had one for about 15 years.

then was so much stuff streaming do we even need a TV anymore?

in other words the days of the bad capacitors. Strangely enough the Samsung monitor I'm looking at had to replace the capacitors but it's been fine ever sense.

Rawhide at noon, Bonanza at 1:00, Gunsmoke at 2:00, Rifleman at 2:30...what's not to like?

Bad guys dead within 30 minutes or an hour!

Hello markr,

I had a Samsung tv which did something very similar. I would agree with the others that it's likely to be a capacitor. Though one thing I would try before you start unsoldering things is perhaps giving it a good clean and remove any dust. Though from you're photos it looks clean.

I limped along the Samsung for around two years with regular internal cleaning. It used to switch itself on and off when it felt like it. The cause was dust settling and shorting the legs out on the components due to poor design. A combination of badly designed vents to let out heat and poorly oriented components was perfect for dust to settle on shorting out the legs!

Good luck and keep safe

      Seiko 6309 intermittent stopping of the seconds hand at the same positions

      By Disgrace · Posted

      Hello everybody, sorry for the late reply. Thank you all so much for your help and your tips. I got lucky and found a replacement wheel bridge for cheap which actually ended up being in decent condition. I decided not to do anything about the mainspring barrel pivot since I didn't have the right tools and the barrel didn't have much endshake anyhow. I am happy to report that the watch now runs great, I have regulated it to about +-10/s day which is fine by my standards. The timegrapher result looks decent as well, although beat error is around 0.6ms which could be better I suppose. Amplitude reaches over 230 quite consistently which I'm happy with also. My lighter fluid has also been replaced by balance spring cleaning solution and now the springs don't stick to themselves anymore - who would have thought. I'm super happy with this watch, it might not be worth a whole lot but it's awesome that I could restore it and it makes me wear it with pride. To me it's a genuinely good lucking watch, it'll be my daily driver for a while. Thanks again to everybody for their input! I couldn't have done the repair without your help.   Here are some images for those interested, the bracelet isn't original but I don't really mind:

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Balance-hairspring system is oscillator with big Q-factor. When all in the movement is OK, the rate (frequency) is verry close to the own resonant frequency of the balance-hairspring. But in some cases, the movement (with foult) will force the resonator to work on pritty different frequency, sometimes faster, and sometimes slower. When this happens, the amplitude is always weak. So, the first thing to ask is what is the amplitude. If it is more than 180 and the hairspring doesn't touch itself and anything else, then for sure it is 'short'. If the amplitude is weak, then the first thing to do is to understand why and rectify the problem. At this time no point to check timekeeping. But, if one doubts that the hairspring is not correct, then He needs to calcullate the rate of the movement, then to 'vibrate' the balance-hairspring out of the movement and to measure the free oscillations frequency (period) with timer in order to ensure that they comply with the rate. If we have pictures, then it will be easier to tell something about that wheel.

      Landeron 248 setting eccentric studs

      By Klassiker · Posted

      So much work has gone into this! Thanks again @Jon. I will go back and check my adjustments from last weekend. A few questions for you, if you don't mind. In the reset position, I can understand the problem if the gap between the hammer and the minute counter heart is too big (slide 77) but what is bad about both hammers being in contact with the cams (slide 76)? I read somewhere that Landeron recommended grease on the runner cam, but the minute counter heart should be dry. Is that so, and why? How many tads in a ligne?

      Could you glue two pieces together for rigidity and separate after forming?
