Troubleshooting

If the TV seems to have a problem, first review this list of possible problems and solutions. If none of these troubleshooting tips apply, visit 

samsung.com, then click on Support, or call Samsung customer service at 1-800-SAMSUNG.

Problem

Possible Solution

Flickering and Dimming

If your Samsung Television is flickering or dimming sporadically, you may need to disable some of its energy efficient 

features like the Eco Sensor or the Energy Saving feature. Follow the steps below with your remote to turn these 

features off or on.

Component Connections /
Screen Color

If you find that the color on your Samsung television’s screen is not correct or black and white, first run a Self 

Diagnosis Test on the TV to make sure there are no device issues.

If the test is ok, try making sure ;

 

y

Your connections are all consistent. For example, if you’ve used the AV In jack on your TV, make sure you have 

used the AV Out jack on your video source.

 

y

Try making sure you have connected to the correct jacks. For example, if you use the Component jacks, labeled 

Pb, Pr, and Y, to connect your TV and video source, make sure you have connected the blue Pb jack on the 

video source to the blue Pb jack on the TV, the red Pr jack on the source to the red Pr jack on the TV.

Screen Brightness

If you find that the colors on your Samsung TV are correct but just a little too dark or bright, there are some settings 

you should check before calling for a repair.

 

y

Backlight, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness, Color, Tint and so on. Go  to “Picture” in the Menu, and then try 

adjusting these options.

Unwanted Powering off

If your Samsung TV appears to turn off by itself, there may be an issue with either your Timer settings or your Eco 

friendly No Signal Power Off feature.
First make sure the Sleep Timer is not accidentally set. The Sleep Timer lets you fall asleep with the TV still on 

knowing that it will turn off after a certain period of time and not waste energy.

Trouble Powering On

Before you turn the TV on, find the red light on the right or left bottom of your TV. Press the power on button 

on the TV or remote and the light should blink about 5 times before the TV turns on.

If you find that you are having trouble powering on your Samsung television, there are a number of things to check it 

before making a call to the service department.

 

y

If you happen to be using the TV as a monitor and the stand-by light only blinks for a few seconds when you 

press the power button, your PC is in sleep mode. To take your PC out of sleep mode, press a key on your 

keyboard or move the mouse. Then try turning your TV on.

If you’re sure your power cord, remote control, and PC are functioning properly, you may be having a cable issue. If 

you have a cable or satellite box, your TV may appear to be off because the cable or satellite box is not outputting a 

signal. To test the signal output of your cable or satellite box, press the guide or info button on the cable or satellite 

box remote control. If the screen displays the guide or info data, the problem is caused by the box.
