Hi ,
I have a LCD Samsung LN40A530 LCD TV that seems to have a capacitor

This thread is 3 years old, but I'll bet the problem was not the power

The easy way to identify this is to remove the main, pre-heat it away from
the TV with a heat gun or hair dryer, then reinstall. If it starts
immediately, the main is the problem.
Authorized Samsung servicer. The exact symptom given is well-known.
It was the caps, I've no doubt.
