Chosen Solution
Hi. I’ve got 55 ’ Samsung smart TV., Does not switch on . Red light blinking, screen shows Smart TV sign and then goes off. No matter how many times I have tried,no effect. I’ve read some answers above but didn’t find any similar to mine. Any ideas, accept hammer solution?
Look for a pattern in the blinks. For example, 5 blinks then a pause, 5 more, pause, etc. This will indicate the source of the problem (or could). If the set goes from standby to “starting” then to blinking red, it means that the startup tests have failed. This could be as simple as a power supply problem or a more complex problem with the logic board. In any case, the model number and blink count (if there is one) is critical in knowing and resolving the problem. Please update this with the model and blink count for more information to follow. Thanks, Dan
ukiron1 this could be a firmware issue as well as a board issue. You will need to let us know what exact model your TV is. Then you need to tell us what you have tried to fix it. If it is not firmware related it is possible that this error comes from the main board. So before you take a hammer to it, let us know a few more details so we can at least try and help you out. :-) Update 08/09/2018 Samsung officially does not use blink codes in their fault finding. All blinkcodes for Samsungs are generic errors.
