This is for people having the same problem in 2020. My Samsung TV does not have the small compartment mentioned in the video. So, I removed the back completely, and removed all the connections to boards. I left it for like 5 mins; put them back tightly and coupled the TV. And voila, my TV is up and running... Thank you so much for making this video, you saved me a lot of stress and, of course, money. Thank you
I bought a Samsung 32 inch smart TV at the thrift store and it worked for a few hours but then started turning off by itself to the point it was unusable. I put it away for a few months then got it back out to give it one more try. Same issue. I came across Brie's video and realized my TV had the exact same little access panel with the one connector behind it. I pulled the connector, and sprayed the contacts with some De-oxit contact cleaner. It hasn't shut off since. As a technician, it seemed very unlikely that this one connector would play a role in this issue, but it's been rock solid for months now! Thanks, Brie!
UPDATE; After moving the HDMI cord from one port to another port, that did fix the problem and its been over a week and no problem of it cycling off and on. Cheap and easy fix. I don't have the trap door... Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to share. I also saw the video to remove the entire back by unscrewing and that was becoming a nightmare thought but would have done it if I had to. I have the 40" KTXG 5300/manufactured in 2013 and in almost 4 yrs of having it, it just started a few days ago. My tv didn't seem to have the little trap door like yours so Rocky in the comments mentioned switching to another HDMI port to someone else. Hoping that helps my set. Time will tell and keeping my fingers crossed. Bottom line, thank you for sharing. I'm not a video person so I appreciate those who take the time to share. I'll be subscribing just for that and look forward to any other ideas you have and I'll be checking your other vids. Have a great day, thanks again, A
Thanks, Brie. Was having the same issue. Mine is a UN60F6300AF so it didn't have the small compartment as yours, so last Saturday I had to remove the complete back cover, unplugged the cable as yours and plugged it back real hard and it worked!!! Haven't had the problem since then. I can't tell you how relieved and happy I am. Thank you once again.
Thanks, Brie; you’re a God send! I have the same exact TV with the same issue. I was willing to spend “big bucks” to have it repaired, but your little trick prevented that. We are forever grateful. 😊 We love this TV because it’s the perfect size (46 inches) for a bedroom.
Thank you ! Thank you!! I spent way too much time researching on line, watching youtube videos, and talking to tech support with no answers! I was even considering opening the TV and trying something that was suggested on line.....or driving miles to take the TV to an authorized repairman. Then I saw your vidoe, and voila! In 2 seconds my problem was solved! The TV is us and running! I can't understand why Samsung tech support didn't know to tell me to try this!! Thanks again!
I love these types of videos. You know, The ones where you scroll continuously down and see non-stop comments saying that it actually works. I’m definitely going to have to give this a try!
Thank you so much. This is the best fix of all, I was so scared watching all the other videos about hard resets, motherboard replacements, capacitors going bad, etc. All the best for you.
I had the same issue, all the other fixes and videos, were no help....Your video was the only fix...amazing, it has been 3 months and never had the issue again
Wow! I just tried this with my BEC LED TV and a few minutes in and it looks like it works. I will keep checking for about an hour as in the past after I would turn the TV on it would start blinking every few seconds. Thanks so much for posting this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I HAVE A 48 INCH SAMSUNG SMART TV THAT WAS DOING THIS...ME AN BOYFRIEND WHERE VERY ANGRY THAT ALL OUR TV WOULD DO IS SHUT ON AN OFF AND NOW YOU FIXED IT BEEN WATCHING TV FOR 2 DAYS NOW BEFORE WE HAD OUR TV JUST SITTING FOR 2 MONTH ON. FOUND YOUR VIDEO NOW IT WORKS GREAT AN WORKS LIKE A NORMAL TV!! THIS IS THE ONLY VIDIO I COULD FIND THAT ACTUALLY WORKED! THANK YOU AGAIN SAVED ME 300$
I was super skeptical about this fix, but all of my capacitors looked totally fine and none of the other fixes I found were any good. I also have a slightly different model tv than shown here, but once I got the back panel off and unplugged and replugged the connector between the power and control boards, the tv seems to be working again. Color me suprised and thankful. Saved me $200 and a lot of frustration with some sneaky tv repairmen.
Hi Brie, you have just fixed my TV!! We've been putting up with the on and off for weeks now, and it's been driving us mad assuming we'd have to buy a new TV! Its our dining room TV, but none the less it was annoying. Told my hubby about your quick fix - bit of a pain as it's attached to the wall - but I said it's better to try your fix rather than spend out on a new TV!! So, just wanted to say a huge thank you for posting your video of your quick TV fix!! You're a star - thank you! With love from the UK.
Wow! I have been searching for hours how to fix our TV and was getting ready to call tech support when I stumbled across your video. We have the same model and your simple solution fixed our TV!
Super helpful, instead of having a cover like that i just searched the cable that supplies power to the tv, pull it off and plug it back and boom! Back to normal
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!! FOR YEARS i've been trying to figure this out. Thank you soooo sooo much for sharing this, you have no idea how difficult it's been to try and figure this out. Seriously, thanks!
I had the very same problem, what you said didn't work... But you gave me an idea. I opened the back and unplugged everything that I could then replugged it in and viola, works... Thanks a lot.
My Samsung TV doesn't have the little door to access that connection, but I took the back panel off and did as you suggested and the TV is now working normally again. Thanks!
Partial fix. Picture is now stable on one channel with strip unplugged; unable to change channel or use remote. With strip plugged in the issue comes back. Thanks for getting me half way there. Great tip!!
Amazing! Your solution worked for me!!! I've been suffering with my Samsung TV turning itself off and on for several months and have tried a few things mentioned on the internet but none of them worked. Five days later your solution worked and I haven't experienced the problem at all. For those who need additional details - just unplug and replug the ribbon cable connector found after removing the small door on the back of the TV. I unplugged and replugged it a few times and then made sure it was very securely pressed up into place. I hope this helps others!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I was able to fix both of my Samsung TVs that were turning off and on by themselves. I had to take the entire back plate off of these TVs to get to the internal power source ribbon and unplugging it. So far so good! 👍
WOW!!! It’s REALLY works. I been doing the unplug thing for months and the problems keep coming back and getting worse. After that unplug it’s been working fine. Mine is a 6400 model but it’s basically the same tv. So thank you 🙏 sooooooooooooo much. 👍
God bless you, thank you very much for your help, my problem was very similar to yours, I saved a lot of money from a possible repair, I was very sad about my TV but now I am super happy. Thanks for making this video
Thanks a ton mam it worked for me. I had this issue with my TV since a couple of months but all other videos and theory of the internet failed. Your fix worked like a gem.. Thanks. I tried it today.. Lets see how far it goes without anymore lookouts.
Thank you so much! I had a very expensive tv in a basket when I spotted your video. This works perfectly on my old Samsung tv and lives to carry on for many more years to come I hope!😄 Thaaaaanks 😊
WTH?!?!?! I tried All Kinds of different things. Came across this and honestly *laughed* The capacitors on mine were fine so it did spark my interest enough to try it. Laughing now that I don't have to buy a new TV😀 Thank Your SI MUCH!!!! Mine is a Samsung ltj400hf04-v
I can also confirm that this fix worked for me. Took off back cover, unplugged and reseated all visible cables, connectors. Reassembled, and no problems since
Thanks for this. My Samsung TV worked for about 3.5minutes then powered off and on again., and just kept doing that over and over again. I tried this fix without really believing it would work. But it did - TV working fine again now. Hopefully it will work long-term. Again thanks for the help
That access panel on mine is on the bottom left corner (facing the back) and has one screw. This fix worked though! It started happening on my TV after over 5 years of no issues.
i was surprised, thank you very much , i have a 55 Samsung 3d tv and switched the cdmi cable and disconnected the power cord from the back?? something made it work properly again, thank you over much
Congratulations Lady! This fixed for me for now, easiest fix on the internet! For me the 'ribbon' is yellow, so take care of that it might be for you too. You have to fiddle with it carefully to remove it, but it should not be hard. I'd send you a bunch of flowers, if I could. :)
Well, it worked for 2 weeks, that's something, then it started doing it again, to the point it won't even start ever again. Guess time to buy a new TV, this time not a garbage Samsung.
Great. I know everyone may not have this accessible ribbon cable, but if you do, it's worth a try. I atum led upon this solution by simply trying and I have used the tv ever since without a problem. Glad it worked for you as well.
@@gietabinda-falli477 It's held by a clip, gently pinch both ends at the same time and wriggle it loose as you do. To put it back simply push it gently but firmly back into place.
This totally worked! I've got a 32" model and the back was different but there was that removable panel back there. I initially removed the ribbon cable for 30 seconds and it still did the power on/off thing. But after leaving it out for the afternoon and coming back and trying it again...sonavabitch it worked!! Updated the tv and it's as good as new! Thank you!!:)
I did an software update, tv reset via support and then self diagnosis reset, I also turned off all net function and it only worked for a few minutes or few hours. I am now using your method of unplugging and plugging the ribbon cable. So far so good and I will update if it doesn't work. Thanks...
Brie, you are the best. I had lost all hopes but your tip worked instantly. Thanks a ton, I wish I could send you flowers too if you care to share your address. I am in India, Bangalore. Thank you once again !
Hey, thanks very much indeed! Your suggestion worked perfectly! I did take the back off my Samsung and checked all the capacitors, found no problem there and then did your unclip of the cable thing - genius!! Thanks again
@@itsGOJIRAuMORON Na, these newest TV suck, they aren't as dependable as CRT TVs, and Im saying this as a millennial. I have one that started smoking for no reason and this other one I have turns on and off now for no reason at all and nothing has fixed it. Say what you want about how great new TV are and how "smart" they are but I never had issues with the TVs of my childhood like this.
Thank you, thank you! So far so good! It's challenging unplugging that ribbon but with some help pushing the pins out, I was able to unplug the ribbon and restart my tv with no problem! I'll update if necessary.
@@Honey-te2wb It's held by a clip, gently pinch BOTH ends at the same time and wriggle it loose as you do. To put it back simply push it firmly back into place.
@@rayraygoreng6264 I am not sure. For me, doing this has fixed my rv without any further problems and it has been a few years. Perhaps unplug and reseat it again.
Guys, this definitely fixes the tv. Hit it, I know this sounds funny, but hit the side of the tv, and it triggers the tv to turn on. My tv would keep turning on and off, and I would play PlayStation on it and it would be soooo annoying when it would turn on and off. Hit the side of the tv kind of hard, and it will trigger t to turn on. IT WORKS! Do it when it’s turning on and off! IT WORKS.
@@therockstar7443 Hey Rocky, I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping this worked. Time will tell but wanted to say thank you so much for saying something. Very nice and something you didn't have to do. Don't want to take away from Brie's helpful video. At least there's a few options before throwing out the whole dag gum thang. I don't seem to have the little trap door Brie's tv has and the last thing I wanted to do was tear it apart. Mine is the KTXG 5300. It was a freebie we won in a work raffle so until this its been great. I'll never actually buy a Samsung for it's privacy issues yada yada even though they all do it, Samsung is the worst of the major brands. I'm thankful for UA-cam and grateful for like you to who share your fixes and experiences. You're the best!! Adrian
Rocky Lang the hdmi thing just helped me too!! I had the issue a few weeks ago but it stopped, well now it was turning off and on every second since last night so I kept it unplugged ALL night. well still nothing, so I saw this comment and switched HDMI... it works. Wtf!! Let’s hope it stays that way but thank you!
Well my Samsung does not have a small door that is easy to get to. There are a couple of small squares which almost look like they could be it, but I've had no luck in trying to pry them open with a screw driver or pic. I used to work in old computer equipment though, and suspect you may be onto part of the problem. In old electronics involved in networking we used to have equipment that the contacts on connectors would carrode. You could not really see the corrosion, but when you rubbed the connectors with an eraser it brightened them and then they would conduct and it would restore the device. I highly suspect from your video and others that this may be the problem, however the connectors look like they are pin connectors, so the actually connection depends on first a pin, and then a socket for it. You can probably get to one to clean it, but you most likely can't get to the other half of it. I'm wondering how you can clean both sides of pin connectors (the ones that seem to be inside these Samsung TVs and connect things to the power board.) I'm not really crazy about taking my tv apart, but it is having intermittant problems with rebooting every now and then. It seems to be worse for You Tube especially, and I suspect that may be just because that is what we are tuning into most when we turn it on. Eventually ours will settle down and work well.
Good to know. I did a factory reset and made sure all network and power saving options are OFF! According to many posts, people say that works too. So far so good, but it's only been 2 hours! Thanks!
THANKS, Brie :) Your fix helped!! Any ideas on how to fix my Samsung remote? I tried taking the batteries out and holding the power button for 20 sec and placing the batteries back in but that didn't work. For now we're using the button behind the tv to adjust the volume. Thank you in advance.
A software update fixed mine. Evidently, this model had a software glitch that caused it to cycle on and off. If you can access menu, do the update and wait a half hour. Then it should stay on. Good luck!
barbara bowlen i think that’s my problem as well but the tv won’t stay on long enough for me to get into the menu to update. I cant try the trick from the video cause my model doesn’t have that ‘box’ she speaks of
4 Days with out a Tv,was about to spend $300 for another. Instincts said "UA-cam" before you trash it. 5minutes later.. Tv working again. THANK YOU *Brie's Breeze* ! XOX Edit : It Still works a week later!
Sadly so many products no longer have a long life. I remember being able to repair my Mom’s 30 year old washer and dryer s few years ago so they both worked like new. Now a days it is more of a challenge due to computer chips, etc. That said, this fix has worked for me and I have used this tv every day since without anymore issues. I can understand and appreciate your frustration.
Thanks. I just fixed a friend’s fridge and should have posted it. It was a Samsung too. Problem is condenser coils freeze up in fridge section and stops blower from working. His fridge is now working perfectly. He had been putting ice bags in it prior-lol. When I saw that I knew I had to figure out how to fix it.

My Tv works again ! ,it took 5mins to fix
Thanks for your comments guys. I still havent gotten around to doing it myself but you are giving me hope haha!
The BEST FIX EVER..... WORKED FIRST TIME< NO PARTS TO BUY< ETC>>>> . THANKS MUCH!!!!!

Thank you so much. This is the best fix of all, I was so scared watching all the other videos about hard resets, motherboard replacements, capacitors going bad, etc. All the best for you.

Do you remember where the box was on your tv. I have a 55 inch Samsung tv as well and I can’t locate the box 😩

I can not unplug it...it's very hard...pls help!!
I need help too

Hey, thanks very much indeed! Your suggestion worked perfectly! I did take the back off my Samsung and checked all the capacitors, found no problem there and then did your unclip of the cable thing - genius!! Thanks again
They call it a smart tv i call it a dumb tv

@@itsGOJIRAuMORON Na, these newest TV suck, they aren't as dependable as CRT TVs, and Im saying this as a millennial. I have one that started smoking for no reason and this other one I have turns on and off now for no reason at all and nothing has fixed it. Say what you want about how great new TV are and how "smart" they are but I never had issues with the TVs of my childhood like this.
@@thetapheonix my grandmas had green stripes
Fantastic! Worked perfectly. Thank you very, very much for your advice. Keep up the good post.
I have the exact same TV and this worked... Waited a few days just to see if it would last first...
Thank Gorgeous!For the information.
Thank you, thank you! So far so good! It's challenging unplugging that ribbon but with some help pushing the pins out, I was able to unplug the ribbon and restart my tv with no problem! I'll update if necessary.
Glad it worked. I have had mine on for nearly two years since doing this without any further problems. Hoping the same for you.
how do you pull it ?
@@Honey-te2wb It's held by a clip, gently pinch BOTH ends at the same time and wriggle it loose as you do. To put it back simply push it firmly back into place.
Try changing the power cord. See if you have another tv, ps4, ps5 cable that fits. I did that to my tv and it worked! 🙌🏽
Thank you!!! It was driving me crazy!!! I appreciate it so much!!!
Beauty by Alexandra how to unplug that cable thow
Thank you for making this video. I was at my wits end until your video fixed my problem.
My pleasure. Glad it worked.
@@briesbreeze8594 update. This fix worked only for a day or two, then it started again.
I am convinced the issue is caused by a faulty wifi module. When i disabled wifi on my tv, the issue disappeared.
@@rayraygoreng6264 I am not sure. For me, doing this has fixed my rv without any further problems and it has been a few years. Perhaps unplug and reseat it again.
This trick absolutely works... Thanks!
Guys, this definitely fixes the tv. Hit it, I know this sounds funny, but hit the side of the tv, and it triggers the tv to turn on. My tv would keep turning on and off, and I would play PlayStation on it and it would be soooo annoying when it would turn on and off. Hit the side of the tv kind of hard, and it will trigger t to turn on. IT WORKS! Do it when it’s turning on and off! IT WORKS.
Well, you just saved me £300 on a new TV or a repair bill 😂 such a simple fix
How did u pull the thing at the back out
Thank mine works now
That is always so nice to hear. So happy to hear it worked.
Thank you very much. I tried so many things. This is the only solution that worked 😀
Thank you very much, i solved the problem. You are the best, thank you
I'm having the same issue. Wtf Samsung....
Ikr
Hey bruh I had this issue I had mine plugged in the HDMI 1 I switched it to HDMI 3 & everything works perfectly fine now
@@therockstar7443 Hey Rocky, I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping this worked. Time will tell but wanted to say thank you so much for saying something. Very nice and something you didn't have to do. Don't want to take away from Brie's helpful video. At least there's a few options before throwing out the whole dag gum thang. I don't seem to have the little trap door Brie's tv has and the last thing I wanted to do was tear it apart. Mine is the KTXG 5300. It was a freebie we won in a work raffle so until this its been great. I'll never actually buy a Samsung for it's privacy issues yada yada even though they all do it, Samsung is the worst of the major brands. I'm thankful for UA-cam and grateful for like you to who share your fixes and experiences. You're the best!! Adrian
Rocky Lang the hdmi thing just helped me too!! I had the issue a few weeks ago but it stopped, well now it was turning off and on every second since last night so I kept it unplugged ALL night. well still nothing, so I saw this comment and switched HDMI... it works. Wtf!! Let’s hope it stays that way but thank you!
Thanks Brie. Followed your instructions and the TVs working lovely
This video helped me to solve the problem in my tv
Jeeze Louise! I have to try this. I tried everything else on the net and no fix. Wish me luck!
Maryann, please let me know if it works. Just make sure to reseat the ribbon chord correctly. Also, unplug the tv from the electrical outlet first.
Many thanks it fixed my issue
YOU QUEEN! Thankyou so much, you have fixed our issue!
Well my Samsung does not have a small door that is easy to get to. There are a couple of small squares which almost look like they could be it, but I've had no luck in trying to pry them open with a screw driver or pic. I used to work in old computer equipment though, and suspect you may be onto part of the problem. In old electronics involved in networking we used to have equipment that the contacts on connectors would carrode. You could not really see the corrosion, but when you rubbed the connectors with an eraser it brightened them and then they
would conduct and it would restore the device. I highly suspect from your video and others that this may be the problem, however the connectors look like they are pin connectors, so the actually connection depends on first a pin, and then a socket for it. You can probably get to one to clean it, but you most likely can't get to the other half of it. I'm wondering how you can clean both sides of pin connectors (the ones that seem to be inside these Samsung TVs and connect things to the power board.) I'm not really crazy about taking my tv apart, but it is having intermittant problems with rebooting every now and then. It seems to be worse for You Tube especially, and I suspect that may be just because that is what we are tuning into most when we turn it on. Eventually ours will settle down and work well.
Thanks, I know this is an old video and you probably don't have this set anymore, but was that a final and permanent fix?
I still have the set in my bedroom and use it everyday without any further issues.
Good to know. I did a factory reset and made sure all network and power saving options are OFF! According to many posts, people say that works too. So far so good, but it's only been 2 hours! Thanks!
wow thank you so much it worked for me Happy New year!
Thanks, did the other leads inside as well and it seems to have fixed it👍🏼💪🏼
Thanks a lot ! Followed you lead and it worked
Was to go and get robbed by technician who was to help me fix it
THANKS, Brie :) Your fix helped!! Any ideas on how to fix my Samsung remote? I tried taking the batteries out and holding the power button for 20 sec and placing the batteries back in but that didn't work. For now we're using the button behind the tv to adjust the volume. Thank you in advance.
A software update fixed mine. Evidently, this model had a software glitch that caused it to cycle on and off.
If you can access menu, do the update and wait a half hour. Then it should stay on. Good luck!
barbara bowlen i think that’s my problem as well but the tv won’t stay on long enough for me to get into the menu to update. I cant try the trick from the video cause my model doesn’t have that ‘box’ she speaks of
Great info, Brie. What a super fix tip!
4 Days with out a Tv,was about to spend $300 for another. Instincts said "UA-cam" before you trash it. 5minutes later.. Tv working again. THANK YOU *Brie's Breeze* ! XOX
Edit : It Still works a week later!
Thank you so much for posting this video , I have the same TV and same problem. Haven't tried yet but will reply again when it is fixed.
Niraj Budhathoki did it work?
Dear Bree, can you make video how to unplug? Or do you have some email to send you photo of plug on back of my Samsung? Thank you very much
Never another Samsung product
Sadly so many products no longer have a long life. I remember being able to repair my Mom’s 30 year old washer and dryer s few years ago so they both worked like new. Now a days it is more of a challenge due to computer chips, etc. That said, this fix has worked for me and I have used this tv every day since without anymore issues. I can understand and appreciate your frustration.
Great! It worked perfect.
Nice, I fix the problem , thank you for your time
Thanks for sharing 🤩
Great job! Nice fix
Thanks. I just fixed a friend’s fridge and should have posted it. It was a Samsung too. Problem is condenser coils freeze up in fridge section and stops blower from working. His fridge is now working perfectly. He had been putting ice bags in it prior-lol. When I saw that I knew I had to figure out how to fix it.
Very helpful! Thank you!
