Samsung LN46A950 TV keeps making start up chime every 5 seconds and won't stop when plugged in

There are a few possible reasons why your Samsung LN46A950 TV might be making the startup chime every 5 seconds and won't stop when plugged in:

Power supply issue: The power supply is responsible for providing power to all of the components in your TV. If the power supply is faulty, it can cause the TV to malfunction in a variety of ways, including making the startup chime repeatedly.

Mainboard issue: The mainboard is the main circuit board in your TV. It controls all of the TV's functions, including the power supply, the display, and the input and output ports. If the mainboard is faulty, it can also cause the TV to malfunction in a variety of ways, including making the startup chime repeatedly.

Software issue: It is also possible that the TV's software is corrupted or outdated, which can cause it to malfunction in a variety of ways.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following steps:

Check the power supply: Make sure that the power supply is properly connected to the TV and to the wall outlet. If you have a spare power supply, try connecting it to the TV to see if that resolves the issue.

Check the mainboard: If you are comfortable doing so, you can open up the TV and inspect the mainboard for any signs of damage, such as burned components or loose connections. If you see any damage, the mainboard will need to be replaced.

Update the firmware: Samsung releases firmware updates for its TVs from time to time. These updates can fix bugs and improve the performance of your TV. To check for firmware updates, go to the Samsung website and enter the model number of your TV.

If you have tried all of the above steps and the issue persists, you will need to contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.

Here are some additional tips:

Try unplugging the TV for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.

Try resetting the TV to its factory default settings.

Try using a different power cord.

Try connecting the TV to a different wall outlet.

If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the issue yourself, you can always take the TV to a qualified technician for assistance.
