Looks like the hardest part of fixing would be disassembly.

If it gets worse I will attempt it, but it works fine other than how long it takes to turn on.

It may be damaging other components or they may leak or explode onto other components. It's something that's cheaply fixed, it just takes time.

Samsung should probably be recalling those models of tv's instead of being jewish.

Yea. What kind of dumbass engineer puts capacitors that are rated lower than the voltage they'll be handling? It's common sense that's shared among people that aren't electricians or engineers.

Mister, that's wasteful. What do you do with the old TV then?

Knight, just a FYI, you can put any voltage cap you want on there, the value you can't change is the uF (micro-farads). You could put 16v caps on there and be perfectly fine. The only problem with doing that is that with higher voltage caps, the physical size increases so you will have to make sure that you have room. I might have some spare ones if you're interested. I just looked and the closes spare caps I have are 6.3v 2200uF which would probably explode the instant you turned it on.

Some info for ya:

Nichion rates their caps differently, they have different model numbers meant for specific tasks. Like the above model is calls PS and is meant for switching power supplies, check out the datasheet:

You could probably have that TV fixed like new for under $10 and in a couple hours.

Again, i dont think you get it...

 I am a person than let himself lead by emotions alot, i got that from my dad, what happend to this old tv was that the optical plug where the cable was meant to be was lose so it almost never worked one day the pug ended up in my had so i smash the lil fucker. it was an old crt TV 15" so nothing got lost and so i could dispose it the way it should had to be destroyed...

  plus i had fun doing it so your argument is invalid!

The proper way to dispose of CRT's is to give them to a hazardous waste place that properly disposes of them using methods that don't involve a baseball bat. I'm guessing you had fun breathing the phosphorous? I don't wanna know what you did with the leaded glass and lead solder.
