Not sure if you consider these topo Tech websites, but there has been a lot of press about this problem as early as this past weekend:

As has been stated in several responses here; Samsung exited the Blu Ray market last year.  So not much incentive to fix this problem.   By deduction, you could say that is true based on Samsung's lack of comment here or on the websites listed above.

Stop whinging about things you don't understand please

[AlexandreGarc]

Comrade, does your device have this problem? It seems that you do not or do not care, so be quiet and do not disturb who is trying to solve and so I finish with you. #boring

[usertGOtd6BnHE]

PMSL....... So how are your whinging posts trying to "fix" this problem exactly - "Comrade Plonker"?

This problem is already in news at pcmag

She will never resolve this matter. It created an unsolvable problem. The device cannot load the system and therefore will not be able to load anything update. As far as it looks like a USB stick, the devices will not be able to load the update. In my view, only changing the devices would solve the problem. We need to disclose this to the press, to the media ... We will use #SamsungBDCyclingError

On 6/18/20 my DVD player started cycling on and off. I would really love a solution. I've  been searching for a solution now for days and it doesn't appear they're anywhere near finding one.

Same proble here in canada my samsung ht-j5530 home cinema bootloop since friday 19 june....a fix needed

[userElW1oVRgVT]

This is the software info on my BD-J5700. Last time anything happened on it was 2017 and I had auto updates set as off, so I doubt it's due to a recent firmware update, but willing to be proved wrong. There was time for me to get this screen to show, just, so maybe a flash from USB is possible.
