This is my Sharp 52" LCD TV. About 6 weeks after purchase it started developing a clicking problem.

Already got it fixed by a local TV repair company. They ended up replacing the parts you said. Cost me 300 bucks. Whatever… it works now, that’s all I care about… what I paid to get it fixed is in the past.
Search Samsung repair on youtube , it seems this problem can sometimes be related to failed capacitors on the power supply board of the tv.The upside of this being if this is the problem it is fairly cheap to fix however you need to be fairly good at soldering and pretty careful handling the power supply board (as you can get nasty/potentially lethal shocks from them). Then again if it failed in the first place what was the reason for it doing so and will it happen again?
im in, my tv shows just black screen but picks sound well and its only 4 months old and cost me close to 500 bucks.
My Samsung TV does it too. I called the 1800 number and the only help they can provide is if they send a technician down, and that is always expensive. I can’t get the TV replace either. It’s past the warranty and it doesn’t help that no one knows what the problem is.
hahaha
that sucks for you
I have all the same problems. There are numerous reports of power supply failures and main board failures. Sharp insists when I called them that this is an isolated problem but if you do a quick search you will find a lot of angry people posting about this. It was in the shop for 5 months and I was told it was unrepairable. $2000 for a TV that dies in just over a year. Anyone interested in a class action lawsuit?
62U if I remember right. I eventually just got it replaced by Best Buy for a new one, but the new one had a dead pixel. Oh, well, at least it worked.
what seriesis this or was this, the62U or the92U????
