Unfortunately, if the television is out of warranty, the repair costs will likely be out of pocket. If you'd like to have the unit inspected by an authorized technician, there may be one available local, or you can locate one through 800-SAMSUNG.

One thing you can try if you're a U.S. customer is to register online, which would get you 3 months on top of your original warranty and see if they would be willing to make an exception.
