Stupid f**king s**t Samsung Crap TV

[Danny133]

I bought a new 46" LED TV in April this year!

Pretty new and worked great up until 30 mins ago!

Every minute it turns itself off and then on again!

No remote controls being touched there all on table in front of us. Tried unplugging from wall and back in. Tried turning off and on. Tried changing source (doesn't make difference)

Anybody experienced this?

Mega pissed to say the least! Watching TV is irritating as hell!

tried that mate - they have had all batteries removed for peace of mind ..

came from Comet

 

[pritchp]

you have accidently but the turn off timer on have you?

 

[sbridgey]

does it have a button on the front, ours does and it caused whats happening to yours cps it wasn't fully pushed on or out

 

[Danny133]

front of tv has a glass/plastic bezel and its all touch screen buttons?

 

[b1lly]

same happened to our samsung 40" tv after a couple of months. we took it back to currys and they sent it off for repair, 2 weeks later got it back and it was still turning itself off.

marched into the shop ready for an arguement and the manager told me to pick another tv, so we went for a sony bravia

My LCD did this - overheating issue. Repaired under warranty, been fine since.

 

[Danny133]

Pissed cost me a grand lol

 

[bunzee]

If it helps while mine was being repaired they loaned me a TV of equivalent spec, so it wasn't too bad. That was through Dixons.

 

[Sym0n]

Standard for Samsung TVs. Faulty PCB fo' sho', part costs about £30 IIRC but as its under warrantee it's no biggy.

Comet will repair, replace or offer a credit note within 28 days of a fault being reported. Get them called up.

 

[clayton6]

Yep, will need a new board.....had 2 tv's fixed under warranty for this.

Hey Mate,

It is a crappy Auto-Update, which might be the reason. No need to repair, just pull out your ethernet cable out of the TV and use it as usual. Report this back to Samsung and they should sort this out...

Cheers,
Nik

This happened to ours to the point it stopped coming on

We were bounced back and forth between the store and samsung, in the end an engineer came out and he said something had come loose inside and it was a common fault

I had Samsung plasma. Had it 2 days and it used to whine/whistle like a fcuker and have wavey lines in the screen, much like when u used to have a dirty head on old VCR's.

Took it back and got a new one. This has been done but every now and then the power supply randomly turns itself on. You here it click, then a few seconds layer it does it again. Doesn't turn the screen on or make that stupid "bing bony" sound Samsung like to put out when u turn on their tv's.

Is your's plugged into wifi/Ethernet? If so, that's the auto update your hear.

 

[richy22]

Nope its not one of those models.

It's a known issue with Samsungs and their power supplies. I could fix it but can't be added if I'm honest.

 

[Danny133]

Rang Samsung.

Guy said - yup know your problems its a common fault.

Samsung released an update to all TVs which my TV picked up as its connected via ethernet. Its basically killed them all.

They have issued another update quick to fix it which i had to download onto a USB and plug in.

All fixed.

 

[daddycool]

good result

 

[gdw]

Excellent news, what the model and would you recommend this tv (hunting for a new one)

 

[Danny133]

this tv is shite lol

its a series 6 46" LED TV .. my next TV is gonna be a plasma!

 

[PinkoCommie]

this tv is s**te lol

its a series 6 46" LED TV .. my next TV is gonna be a plasma!

Really? I've got a series 8 46" and I love it. Then again, mines not connected to my network so it hasn't downloaded any dodgy updates.

 

[Gareth]

I'm pretty sure my Samsung turned itself on today, went home at lunchtime to find it on. FFS lol

 

[Danny133]

Picture quality on mine is s**t unless I watch blurays

Like proper s**t. Blu rays though .. Are f**king mint!

 

[badgerbite]

I think Samsung loose their quality over 42". 46-50" and up, nothing beats Sony.

 

[mace¬]

Seriously? I was looking to get a 46" Samsung?

This not any good?

I've been looking at TVs recently & eveyone i know thats had a samsung (5 people) have had problems with them resulting in replacement panels & a couple ended up swapping for panasonic & sony tvs..
Are they known to play up more than other brands??? as i've been avoiding looking at them.
I've been pondering on the sony ex723 at the moment, but do like the look of the samsungs 6 series & up.
