Had it with a 7 year old Samsung, Google’d the fault. Common problem with capacitors failing, replaced them with instructions from YouTube and now have a fully functioning TV with a repair cost of less than £5. 

Gosh I wish I'd have read this before I took a 2 year old Samsung to the tip.

Did this with one of my Samsungs, £5 for a new (better make) of capacitors and 30 minutes later the TV was good as new and it's still going.

There is an easy way to see if it is a capacitor that has failed instead of being flat on the top they appear domed as if pressure has built up in them. Sadly this not always the case though. But it’s an easy quick check before scrapping.

 

if it helps this is what they look like when they've failed, the top domes and sometimes the bottom does too which raises them off the circuit board, if you do change them just make sure you put the new ones in the same way (+ve & -ve in the same place).
