Samsung TV won't turn on

Mar 13, 2017 9:59AM PDT

I have a 32inch Samsung TV HD that won't turn on. It was turning on at one time with a green screen and loud noise. I use to be able to switch up being able to plug it into different sockets and it would turn on. The red light no longer is on. I'm thinking it could be the capacitators or I hope that's what it is. I would appreciate any help. It's 8 years old. If you need any more info I'll try to answer that.

Here the cost to repair, even 2 boards is more than a new set today. This upsets folk that want to repair everything but check out the cost of just two boards over at shopjimmy.com

My Samsung Flat screen turned dead on us after 2 years. It only shows the red light but does not turn on.
