Question

Samsung TV Turning on and Off -Rebooting

Apr 28, 2015 2:54AM PDT

Im hoping someone can help me with some common sense and also a solution to an issue.

I have a Samsung LED UE46F6500 television which i have had now for a little under 18 months and all of a sudden, it keeps turning itself on and off and i cant stop it unless unplugging. When i plug back in, it does it again. I managed to whittle it down to the HDMI when its plugged into Virgin or Sky or Blu Ray.

I spoke to Samsung and as its out of warranty, they do not want to know. I recently went to a service centre for a diagnostic and turns out it needs a new main board and jog switch (whatever that is) and again Samsung say that its out of warranty and i need to pay £184.

The TV has not moved since i bought it and i find it impossible for this to be my fault on an 18 month old TV. Has anybody else experienced the same issue? The service centre and an independent repairer agrees with me but clearly there is nothing i can do on this.....
