If you don't have test equipment to dust off and the experience and
knowledge to do this type of repair (as indicated by your original post and
question) then the best suggestion that you can get is to TAKE it to a
service shop for a proper and safe repair, or at the very least, a repair
cost estimate so you can make an intelligent repair decision with facts
instead of Internet or telephone guesses. Usually this is not a real
expensive repair so if the television has had a good, sharp picture right
before the symptoms you described then it would most likely be worth
fixing.

In fact Dan, I used to work for a Samsung shop, and there's an upgrade
kit for that, if I remember correctly.
