I want to thank everyone for all the good advice on this thread on the capacitor recall. I just got off the phone with Samsung and they are sending someone out Friday to work on my HLT 5687SAX. Hopefully the 'fix' will let me get a few more years use out of it as me and my wife still love this set as much as when we first got it. I researched the hell out of this set before I brought it and was not looking forward to having go through that again. I've had plenty of compliments over the years about the picture and frankly except for this capacitor issue I never had one minute of trouble out of it. Not many companies would stand behind a 6 year old set. And frankly I wonder how many people just gave up and toss their set and brought a new one never think that Samsung would fix it.

Not to be negative but be prepared for white dots to start showing up. I have 3 now and they really twist the knife in my chest everytime I look at them. My new DLP chip still hasn't made it here and I received an email from Shop Jimmy saying its going to take longer for it to be available. If I replace that and the white dots go away, I'll breathe somewhat easier...then it's a crap shoot on how long the set will last.
