I have a 5 to 6 year old Samsung S4041D TV that had been slow to come on for about 6 weeks and now will not come on at all. (Common problem I understand) I replace 4 capacitors ( 2 were bulging on top) but it still just clicks same as before. The red light on the front of the set blinks 4 times after each click.

I really don't want to spend a lot of money (new board) unless I'm sure that would fix it. Suggestions?

I'm assuming you have a service manual if you're digging into capacitors and such. I'd probably take a look at power supply voltage before you replace boards. Samsung sets in the past do indeed have some pretty funky issues with their power systems.

I had a friend check the output on the powerboard and it was fine, it seems to be the main board and everyone seems to be out of the one I need.
