I bought this Samsung TV about 16 months ago, and today it automatically turned off. I unplugged it and then plugged it back in and all I get is a blue screen. I tried to call Samsung and they say oh well it's out of warranty and that's sometimes what happens, we can give you the authorized repair centre but you'll have to pay for it. So you pay $850 for a TV for it to last not even 2 years and Samsung wants to do nothing about it. Samsung has now lost a loyal customer for life.
If you're having power issues, give these troubleshooting steps a shot :)
Unplug the TV for 30 seconds.
Unplug the TV from the wall outlet or surge protector and leave it unplugged for 30 seconds.
Inspect the power cord for damage.
Check the power cord to see if there is any visible damage. If the power cord appears to be damaged. You can get a replacement at samsungparts.com.
You can search for your TV model to find the exact power cord you need.
Plug the TV power cord back into the wall outlet.
If you were using a surge protector, bypass it for now and use a wall outlet.
Try to update the software.
In some cases, a software update can correct the problem. There is a risk, however. If the TV turns off during the software update, it could damage the TV. Updates can take up to 30 minutes depending on network speed, so if the TV is not turning off too frequently, try updating the software.
Disable the Power On with Mobile option.
TVs which can connect to SmartThings can be turned on using compatible devices, sometimes automatically. However, if abnormal "power on" signals are sent through the wireless network, they will trigger this function and make the TV turn on.
If you do not want this function, navigate to Settings > General > Network > Expert Settings > Power On with Mobile, and turn the setting off.
If the above troubleshooting steps didn't help, here are some service options:
- If your unit was recently purchased, you can check with your retailer on their return/exchange process.
- If you have an extended warranty you can reach out to them to have service processed.
