Samsung has a real customer relations problem here. I posted a request for assistance with the same issue, only with a BD-J5100. I've already gotten multiple replies from others who have the same issue with the same model. ALL reported it happening suddenly within the past few days. ALL saying that none of the suggested solutions had any impact.
Samsung should investigate why the same issue is affecting so many users suddenly, and all at the same time. In the meantime, we are all sitting here with no other solutions than to replace the players.
I also have been having the exact same issue, never a problem before this Thursday. Continues to repeated cycle on and off, following this post to see if we get any resolution for this suspicious coincidence
@Anonymous @I have the HT-J5500W and it is doing the same exact thing. It started 2 days ago. No sound from TV. Its having all the same issues with load disc, making weird noise and setup menu flashes on for 2 seconds and then off for like 6. It cycling through but nothing is happening. I tired reset, unplugged, etc. The forums are full of this same issue. Please let us know when this is going to be resolved. Its obviously a larger issue that is affecting many, many units.
Im replying to your post as I have the same model as you. I have removed the Disk drive and tried various other configurations of removing components to try and get this up and running. Cant even get it to manually reset. I just wanna go back to factory settings. Too bad there isnt a reset switch internally.
So no solution I can see. Figured I'd share what I tried.
