Samsung LCD TV, problem turning on?
I have a 52 inch Samsung LCD Television that is only about a year old. When you turn it on, it clicks on, then off, then on, then off, like 6 times before it finally decides it has enough power to stay on. Once it finally turns on, there are like purple little crystalized looking specs all over the screen. At that point, I’ll turn it off, and turn it right back on, then they go away and everything is completely fine. The tv at that point will be fine for as long as it stays on. Picture and quality is awesome. Any ideas on what it is or easy remedies to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help!
P.S. Surge Protector is top of the line and in good shape. I tried plugging directly into the wall, with the same results.

Sounds like you’ve taken a step to diagnose this issue, by checking the quality of the power. Does this problem get reported often if you Google your model of TV? It might be a replaceable issue under warranty.
There is no such thing as “easy to fix” on modern TV sets – I know because our Samsung developed vertical lines near one end and the tech came out to replace the entire LCD panel; he said it’s a common problem and all they do is trash the panel. If yours is under warranty, make a service call – better now than later when it may go out altogether
it is a problem with poor quality capacitors on the power board, if you do a google search you will find this problem very widespread. it is easy to fix if you are good with a soldering iron and you can get tips from here
