I bought this TV last February and it came with a 1-year warranty... 14 months later this thing goes on the fritz. The power starts flicking on and off repeatedly.
I call Samsung and they are NO help; they keep telling me to go on [...] to find my nearest service agent and when I do that the 'nearest service agent is in Arizona (I'm in Illinois). Just for the fun of it I looked it up and they are over 1600 miles away. -No help.
I give up on Samsung and call a local repair guy; he comes out and changes some caps which is usually the problem, but not this time apparently. Turns out to be the T-Con board and he says that they don't sell those without the whole screen attachment and it would cost $1400 to fix (bought the TV for $1350).
I get online and found a store that sells Samsung T-Con Panels and they seem to have every other T-Con panel but mine. I googled the product number (LJ63-05707A) and it got ONE HIT. Unfortunately that one hit was a website telling me they had no matches.
After plenty of research I've discovered that this is a recurring problem with this model and Samsung simply tries to ignore or hide it. I'm going to post this everywhere I possibly can to try and get the word out.
I can't bear to throw away a $1400 TV so I guess it's going in the basement and I'll check every couple of months to see if that part comes on the market.
