I have the above model. Came home and picked up the remote, pushed the on button. All it does is click like it is trying top come on. It continues to click and no picture. I have tried unplugging the unit twice but it starts clicking.

This symptom is well discussed. In this forum it's one of the classic BAD CAPS symptoms. Research BAD CAPS on google to learn what happened (it's not a samsung exclusive.) Now research BAD CAPS SAMSUNG and you learn more. And BAD CAPS SONY does the same to show it's not just one maker.

Now get your purchase info, model number and all together and call 1-800-SAMSUNG

Unfortunately I learned about bad caps as we lost a dozen desktops to BAD CAPS in the office. It was only a matter of time till the issue spread to other electronics.
