I have a Samsung 60" flat screen TV that has an "on/off" problem …. I think it is a capacitor. I am seeking someone who may be able to fix this. Welcome to any suggestions, thank you.

Contact Mortech Electronics on first street. They may be able to give you a hand.

when you say it has an on off problem are you meaning it will randomly turn off on its own or wont turn on at all?  
 
how old of a tv?

The TV is about 6 years old... we think its a capacitor as Samsung had issues with them (according to a net search anyway).  
 
When we power it on, the TV will run for about 5 - 10 minutes and then shut off. It's not any auto settings or anything... have gone through all that. What we have to do is let it sit for a bit or even unplut it for awhile... and then we can turn it on again. Later it shuts down once more... so it's probably heat related which leads me to believe capacitor. That's mentioned in web searches.  
 
Yes, will give Mortech a call or go visit them... just wondered if anyone did house calls on this anymore.
