Shhhhhhhhhhhh! Just go off the phone Samsung. Success it seems. I am told that their engineer will contact me within 3 days to arrange a service call free of charge. Customer 1. Capacitors 0. I hope. Thanks for the advice. Got a baby a month away from arriving into the world and glad not to have to spend on a new tv! Samsung number as follows-0845 726 7864 --- After a couple of option choices, all simple and sorted. Well worth the call.

I will try calling them today and see where we get to. It would be nice if Samsung would repair it. Thank you.

I am sitting here listening to our Samsung 'clicking' away merrily in the corner of the room . . . . . As it has been doing for just over an hour. We bought the 42 inch LCD just under 3 years ago BUT, due to family reasons, left it in the dining room, boxed and un-opened, for around 14 months. We have been using it since then for aroound 20 months. About 4 weeks ago, the dreaded 'click' caught up with us and progressivly got worse. A couple of minutes 'clicking' before powering up then a couple more til we are where we are today. Having read some articals/posts regarding this fault, it seems that we would be better to go and buy a new tv rather than embarking on the uphill Samsung struggle we have read about. Any thoughts?
