I'm really sorry to hear you are having trouble with TV, let's take a look into this together and hopefully we get that resolved today.

It's a very common problem you will face when the led light flashes red, what the tv is saying to us by that is, a problem has been detected and requires a service or repair. I wouldn't be able to give you an indication of what exactly could be faulty internally but it will take a professional to examine to give you a precise indication of what it may be and how much it would cost if you decided you wanted to have a repair rather than purchasing a new one.

Some of the things to consider here are;

  • Is there a valid warranty, if so, you should get on the call to Samsung and get a warranty call lodged, they will repair it free of charge without any questions?
  • Have you taken any steps yet, maybe a power down and power back up that includes taking all forms of power away which usually means turning the power socket off. If you haven't already tried that, let that be an option to start with which I can describe below.
  1. Remove the power adapter from the power socket or wall socket whichever abbreviation sounds the best.
  2. Wait up to 10 - 15 minutes before we supply any electricity to it again.
  3. I assume you have waited and reconnected the power socket back into the wall socket, if not you are safe to do so!
  4. Press the power button on the remote and hopefully, with a bit of luck, your tv should have fired all up ok and you should have visual.

Thank you for using JustAnswer and I look forward to assisting you in the near future!

Settings you won't be able to get to without having any visual on the screen, if you put the below into action, there's a chance you may have a working television again!

  1. Remove the power adapter from the power socket or wall socket whichever abbreviation sounds the best.
  2. Wait up to 10 - 15 minutes before we supply any electricity to it again.
  3. I assume you have waited and reconnected the power socket back into the wall socket, if not you are safe to do so!
  4. Press the power button on the remote and hopefully, with a bit of luck, your tv should have fired all up ok and you should have visual.
