I've fixed my own TV. Samsung built the power supply with bad capacitors. It was easy to source the parts, and easy to replace the parts. (I'll probably end up fixing it again, soon -- there's a problem with what is doubtlessly a zebra strip that results in a lack of green subpixels for a one-pixel-wide vertical band when turned on, that eventually clears up. It just needs smooshed in the right spot.) Amusingly, it was still under extended warranty when the power supply problem first started, but by then the company that sold me the warranty had gone out of business. And Samsung eventually lost a class action lawsuit about this exact capacitor issue, but when I found out about that it was already too late to file a claim. So much for the invisible hand of the free market (and legal corrections thereof) keeping things in check.
