Assorted Remedies

Unlike many of the older sets the LCD televisions have no moving parts and very few ever require replacement; however, there are some minor things that can occur which can be easily remedied. One occasional problem is a pixel that is “stuck” in either the red, green, or blue mode after the image has changed, and this happens occasionally on the LCD sets.

A program that can be downloaded and run from a computer that can be connected to the flat panel TV is called JScreen Fix that transmits a prolonged burst of various colored static to the display which generally “unsticks” the problem pixel.

Another problem that is common is sporadic audio that means the sound goes off and on for the first few minutes after the set has been turned or, or it occurs after it has been on for several hours. When this happens there is a firmware upgrade that can be downloaded to the USB thumb drive then attached to the television set. Turn the set on, and the file is self-extracting and downloads onto the set when it is powered up. One hint is to ensure the television set remains on until the update of the firmware is completed.

Occasionally the screen goes black on some of the sets within just a few minutes of being powered up. One suggestion that service repairmen make is to ensure all the input cables are tightly connected and not just partially plugged in.

Try reconnecting each cable one at a time and checking the picture because it’s possible that one of the input cables could have gone bad. If other cables are available, try replacing the apparent bad cable. Sometimes just leaving the set turned off, and unplugged for up to 24 hours can fix the issue with a black screen,

One problem that has been reported frequently is a clicking noise that begins to occur shortly after the set is turned on. In most cases, this is an issue with the power supply or a faulty capacitor. For those handy consumers who are comfortable replacing a power supply on a television set, there are parts available through the Samsung website that can be ordered.

For consumer, who wouldn’t pull the back panel off the set if their life depended on it, there’s always a service repair center that can dispatch a repairman to fix the annoying clicking by replacing the dysfunctional power supply or capacitor.
