Jim’s Radio & Tv Service

Took my Samsung 55″ LCD in for repair after it started making a clicking noise. They quoted $ 650 for repair to replace the main board. That seemed a bit out of sorts given the symptoms (I used to be a technician and have seen my fair share of TV repairs, clicking usually means bad capacitors in the power supply). I refused the repair, picked it up and and did some research online which I should have done more thoroughly in the first place. I found that several people had fixed the same problem by replacing the power board, a simple plug and play replacement which only cost me $ 230 for parts. TV has been running great for a while now since repair. I am not only disappointed in their misdiagnosis, but also in the attitude of the technician who seemed indignant when I questioned what his methods were for diagnosis and his obvious lack of research into the issue which I paid $ 45 for.
