Hi there i know what the problem with your T.V. i have the same model which was brought for me about three years ago,which cost £1,100

its the convergence tube, and the main board...i have been making some calls to get the parts....and it's not cheap!

ASSY PCB MAIN £327.48
CRT (COULD BE RED,BLUE,GREEN?) £186.36

these people are taking the p++S with the prices and im writing a letter to Samsung U.K. to complain as the T.V. is only three years old and most T.V. repair companies will not go a rear projection T.V.
It seems to me that there is a fault with model as i was on line looking for prices for the parts and it has brought me to you!

here are some numbers that might be usefull
Visual FX 01708 381 896...these people gave me an estimate of £700!
to repair the crock of S==t

C.P.C supply parts for Samsung 0870 120 2530 but they quoted me more than Visual F.X.
Hope you get the T.V. fixed...nosha!

dont replace main pcb.just replace 2 convergence ics(usually stk392-040) and check 2 pico fuses(3.5a).

almost forgot check all 3.9 ohm resistors as well.
