Samsung TV Repair - Glitch

sticker

hi all,

My father bought a 40 inch Samsung TV from Power City a few years back - can't remember exact year but probably within the past 3-4.

He is experiencing some horizontal lines moving down the screen - very faded. Also screen turns competely black for a second every so often.

It is not the UPC box - definately the TV.

Any ideas or suggestions on repair?

Thanks!

Have a look on eBay for parts. I would suspect the PSU is faulty and you could try replacing this first.

I wouldn't know where to start to replace a faulty PSU! Any TV repair services out there that someone could recommend?

Anyone recommend a TV repair service?

It's probably the capacitors in the PSU have gone bad. If you know anybody with electronic soldering skills it shouldn't be too big a job to fix. Cheap too. TV repair shops may do it couldn't tell you for certain though
