Call it in. Tips.

First, unplug it and stop trying to turn it on. This issue only gets worse.

Now read up about BAD CAPS on Google. (Hint, not a Samsung issue)
Now read up about SAMSUNG BAD CAPS on Google. Hint. Notice the symptom?

Now call it in and ask for a free one time capacitor fix.

I have called and they are sending a repair man to check it out . If It is the bad caps the will fix it for free. Thanks for the input.

Thanks again. Samsung sent a repair man and fixed for nothing.
