Hi
Just returned from a week's holiday, turn the Samsung LE 48" TV on and the colour has 'gone' - like a partial negative effect.

Obviously hoping to settle down for some Euro 2012 games!

Had the TV for probably 4-5 years now. Can LCD TV's be (cost) effectively repaired or do I gulp and start looking for an immediate replacement?

Any quick guidance would be gratefully received as it may require a trip to Currys/Comets today!

Thanks

Repairs on Samsung TV's usually consist of replacing complete boards, which are commonly no longer available after a fairly short time.

However, as Samsung generally fitted low quality and under rated capacitors, quite a few faults can be cured by replacing all the defective capacitors and replacing the EEPROM that stores all the settings for the TV.
