Samsung PCL5415R Shutting off

[Guest]

Great TV, never any problems. Turned it on yesterday and it turns itself right back off. Tried multiple times with no luck. Unplugged unit from wall and plugged back in...no dice. You can actually hear the TV make the noise that it is coming on, then it powers off.

Anyone know of this problem? How common is it and or expensive to remedy? Time to call the service tech?

Real kicker is that my service agreement just lapsed in December and I did not re-up.

Thanks

these sets had a VERY BAD history of CRT board failures something awful.
they also had a history of DCU/conv ic failures

my guess on yours, your crt boards need to be replaced. there is a samsung bulletin out about this.
you an repair the boards, but the set requires modification to correct it...
repairing the crt bords will almost assure you that it will fail again unless modified.

take it into a servicer... you cannot repair it.

Just had the same problem with my 5415R. My service plan just expired on 28 Aug and my tv died on 30 Sep. Is this a regular occurance? Is this just a crt or power supply issue?

Thanks
