If the TV is quite an older model it is likely that the capacitors on the power board have aged and are causing a power issue. They are replaceable if you can solder.

This is a youtube video on how to do it.

Hope that helps you solve your problem.

Possible solutions:
  • Check the integrity and connections of the cables. Substitute other cables to test.
  • Perhaps an on/off timer or sleep timer is set.
  • Or remove the electrical plug from the wall outlet and wait a while before inserting it into the wall outlet again.
If the problem persists or if you require further explanation, you'll have to consult Samsung: use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/samsung.

How do I do a factory reset on my Samsung TV?

Factory reset the TV

Open Settings, and then select General.

Select Reset, enter your PIN (0000 is the default), and then select Reset.

To complete the reset, select OK. Your TV will restart automatically.

If these steps don't match your TV, navigate to Settings, select Support, and then select Self Diagnosis.


Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
