Hello there,
TV stands in one place for over 2 years (bought around 4 years ago, never any problems), nothing was moved nor changed, using the same power socket (outlet).
It's used almost every evening for like 2-3h before sleep.
It's powered using Samsung A6619_FSM power adapter.
One day, when turned on using remote, the power (red) indicator started blinking for like 5-10 times (usually blinks once or twice), the sound worked perfectly fine, but the screen was in an interval of 5 seconds of black screen and 1 second of very dimmed screen (like 5% brightness) and you could barely see anything (but still for only a second). And such interval goes on and on.
Things I tried:
- used 2 different HDMI cables to confirm that it's not input source issue
- unplugged for few minutes, held power button for 1min (to get rid of the rest of power) and waited few more minutes - hard reset i assume
- waited over a day unplugged
- used different power socket (outlet) in different room - same issue
Is there anything left that I can try to do before giving it to a local tv service? Or do you have any suggestions of what failed?
Thank you in advance.
