Model is a LN46A650A, 46" LCD bought in 2008, but according to what I have read so far the problem can affect just about any TV they have made since 2007. Problem is explained as the use of 10 volt capacitors on a 12 volt board. Over time and use the capacitors overheat because they are underrated for the application. A DIY fix is to replace seven capacitors with 25 volt ones. Samsung lost a class action suit on the DLP TVs and are repairing those free, and several Class actions are pending on my problem. I talked to the local warranty service co. and they said that Samsung is treating things on a case by case basis--which means they try their best to deny responsibility. Of course, you have to talk with their fine reps in Bangladesh, or somewhere, so it's a lot of fun. BTW, this TV was also an out-of-box failure when new and it took Samsung over 6 weeks to fix it then. Good luck with your TV--if it starts taking a long time to start up, or it has a high speed audible click and won't start up--welcome to the crowd. Google the problem--ton's of mad folks.

I certainly won't be in the market for another Samsung product.
