I having a problem with this HDTV. I think it is power supply problem because it will not
turn on as normal. Even the main power switch, I pressed it but I did not see anything.
Do you think is there any other problem ? This is an old HDTV I am not so sure if the parts
for it still around or not ?
Thank you in advance for your advice .

Samsung PCL5415R is an old model. Do you think I can get parts
for it around? I think it is power supply problem due to no power
at all. Even pressed the main power switch but nothing turn on.
You will need to find out what the problem is with the set before ordering parts. You cannot simply replace the power supply and think that will fix the TV set. Sometimes a defective part will cause the power supply to go bad. How do you know the power supply is the problem? In this TV set, there are convergence IC's that go bad sometimes causing the set to go dead. Unplug the convergence board and see if the set comes on. If it does, then you know the power supply is good and the convergence board is bad. The problem with older sets is that the convergence board is no longer available and will have to be repaired down to the component level. If you have no experience repairing TV sets, play it safe and call out a pro to assist you in this repair. Good Luck
We have a samsung pcl5415r for no aparent reason the red and green wont line up and it seems to be geting worce by the hour.to exsplain a little better... If you are looking at words on the screen you can see a gost shadow of red text beside the exsisting text. also the green is coming in, in strange spots more on one side of the screen than the other. this TV was not moved or bumped so i dont under stand what caused this or what to do. PS we looked down into the green, blue, and red lense and there is a dead catipiller not native to Alaska at the bottom of the red lense will this hurt any thing? Its probley been in there since we bought the tv about 10 years ago.
