I have a Samsung AU8000 4K UHD LED purchased November 2021.

it suddenly started turning itself on & off yesterday. Have changed remote batteries, no improvement - actually had to pull plug out of socket to get it to turn off with out restarting.  Does not stay on long enough for me to get to setting & do a factory reset.

Message on screen when restarting  is "Smart TV Powered by Tizen"

I can see on this message board that this is a system fault.  Given the TV is not even 3 years old can I get some direction on how it can be replaced.

I recommend making sure there's no damage to the power cord nor the outlet it's plugged into. Also, please make sure it's not plugged into a surge protector as those can cause the TV to power cycle. If the TV still does this after checking these few things, it will need service. The model code you've provided pulls up a business model so you will need to contact Samsung Business for further assistance. They can be reached at 877-541-1055.

I have checked the power cord and it is fine. I have also plugged directly into a wall outlet. The problem persists. 
discussed this with a few friends who experienced the issue and 1 spent $175 on a service to be told (as is referred to in this forum) that it is a system issue and canā€™t be fixed. 
looks like I have to by a new TV, which wonā€™t be a Samsung!!!
