SAMSUNG SAMSUNG TELEVISION USING CHEAP FAULTY PARTS London Ontario
Below is a conversation about a broken 46" Samsung televison that I had with Samsung and their cheap faulty capacitors! They dont have any history because they dont record anything, they just tell you to get lost. Thanks Samsung!

Subject: BROKEN LNT4661FX DEFECTIVE CAPACITOR PROBLEM
Good morning,
I purchased a LNT4661FX Samsung LCD television from Teppermans in London Ontario on July 5th, 2007. Firstly I should mention that this television was purchased for a theatre room in out basement and was only used for 40-50 hours usage for when our grandchildren would come to visit and watch movies. Appromately 2 months ago the television started clicking on and off for 5 to 10 minutes before actually turning on (exact same problem mentioned from the posters from the link I have provided below). Now the unit will not function at all.

There appears to be quite an issue with placing the wrong sized capacitors in this unit. I see Samsung has made good on the issue with a number of these units by replacing or honoring fair marked value for the defective units. My question to you is what can I have done about this defective television?
Best regards,

Well there Ahmed you better confirm again with your quality control department that this model does not exhibit any widespread issues! I AM TELLING YOU THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF YOUR CUSTOMERS ONLINE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, LOOK IT UP YOUR SELF, I EVEN GAVE YOU THE d**n LINK. YOU PUT FAULTY CAPACITORS IN THIS MODEL... PERIOD. I want the same d**n respect you gave your other customer with the same exact television and the same exact issue.
Ahmed this is very very pathetic, you and I both know this. I am in the market for purchasing 9 50" and another 11 42" televisions for a sport pub I have recently aquired with my brother, think we will be using Samsungs? That was the origional plan. I will be going first thing Monday morning to every online site possible to share my exact experience with Samsung today if I can not get any satisfaction. I am sure the better business bureau will enjoy that samsung has places out of standard capacitors in this model television and in turn is having hundreds of complaints online for broken units. Thanks Ahmed Yahiouche, I will be sure to share our conversation here today. Feel free to visit ripoffreport.com for the beginning of my journey.
Cheers,
