Blown capacitor maybe? Phone Samsung?

People in the USA have a number to ring and Samsung fix it free of charge according to websites as on a certain model, there is a settlement due to this error.

It is rather a common fault. Costs about £150 to repair and a very much cheaper if you can do it yourself.

Same happened to mine, Samsung repair people wanted almost 200 quid just to look at it. I actually took the circuit board out of mine and sent it to a local TV repair shop. Paid about the same, bargain.
