Very glad to read here that the set is working again; now it should play indefinitely. Replacing that Samwa cap with a Nichicon is a step in the right direction. The next step, of course, will be to replace all the other caps on the PS board. Replacing the one that failed is a start, but the others are time bombs which can and will fail
at any time.
That Samsung TV's remote seems a lot (to me, anyhow) like Zenith's Z-Trac of the late '80s-'90s, only the latter had a trackball to change the settings on menus and such. (The RCA-branded universal remote I use with my entertainment system has a similar four-way control arrangement, with a button marked "OK" in the center to confirm the settings changes.) I don't know how the Samsung's remote is set up, or whether the "four-directional button stick", as you put it, is actually on the set's front panel or below the display.
Edit: I just looked at the picture of the Samsung TV in operation. Didn't see any "button stick" control arrangement anywhere on the front of the set, so you must have had reference to the remote.
