This recently happened to my father's Samsung LCD TV. When he would go to turn it on it would click but not turn on. Often, if he kept trying, it would eventually turn on. Once it was powered on it would work fine. He could then turn it off and if he tried to turn it on within a few minutes, it would turn back on. If he waited a while and the internals cooled down, it would not turn back on without multiple tries.
He had a tech come out and the problem was bad capacitors. The tech demonstrated that the capacitors were 'popped' and the tops were pushed out and a small amount of gel was exposed. Upon replacing the bad capacitors the tv now turns on properly.

SCCM client will not uninstall using ccmsetup.exe /uninstall
I had a system where the SCCM client was installed but the client was not functioning correctly. I attempted to uninstall the client using the usual method which is running ccmsetup /uninstall command. Whenever I would run this command it would not uninstall. In the ccmsetup.log file I would get:
==========[ ccmsetup started in process 3040 ]========== ccmsetup 4/11/2011 1:54:23 PM 1796 (0x0704)
Version: 4.0.5931.0000
Command line parameters for ccmsetup have been specified. No registry lookup for command line parameters is required.
Command line: ccmsetup.exe /uninstall
Updated security on object C:\Windows\system32\ccmsetup\.
Sending Fallback Status Point message, STATEID='301'.
State message with TopicType 800 and TopicId {B81805F6-98AA-4C2D-918A-D15E6974FFE3} has been sent to the FSP
That's all.
I tried another method of uninstalling and it appears to have worked. On a 32-bit system ccmsetup is located at %windir%\System32\ccmsetup and on 64-bit systems it is at %windir%\ccmsetup. In these directories should be subfolders. Open the subfolder i386. Inside should be a client.msi. From that directory run msiexec.exe /x client.msi. This should uninstall the client.

Office documents open slowly in SharePoint
I'm on Windows 7 with IE 9. I believe this works with other versions of IE also. When clicking on a document in SharePoint it opens very slowly. It appears there is a fix for this. Go to Control Panel>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings and uncheck 'Automatically detect settings'. Now try opening a document from the Sharepoint site. It should pop right up.
