Easy Fix! Samsung Smart TV keep restarting | UN55TU8500F

This Samsung 55" TV Model UN55TU8500F keeps restarting, I have seen this problem before it can be fixed with some tape.
1. Disconnect the wire from the power supply to the mainboard
2. See if the backlights turn on
3. If they do then it's either your mainboard or the LCD pannel
4. Disconnect one ribbon cable on the LCD panel
5. If the TV stays on then your LCD panel has a short
6. Use some tape to tape part of the ribbon cable until it works.
Cheers.

they should investigate Samsung. Everybody has the same problem around the same time. This is a rip off. If this is supposed to last no more than 2yrs they should advertise it as so.

[@lindsaywelham9105]

I agree. My extended warranty expired 2 months ago and now the tv is doing exactly what everyone else’s is doing. Which is why I’m here. 2 years and 2 months for a tv that cost over $800 is not sufficient. Samsung is garbage.

[@johanburger4454]

Yeah I'm going down to the store now to cause a fukin scene. There's no ways that these idiots doing the reviews are not aware of this problem.

[@SAMratterrier]

Yep, Class Action lawsuit.

[@amoffat2012]

Outstanding big man! Just fixed my QE50Q60TAU using this exact trick. Took a while to figure out which pins - just trial and error but I got there. A 2mm strip of sellotape saved me over £400 which I was quoted to fix the TV.

[@chukwuemekaphilip5144]

I have the exact same tv model. And mine just started having the same fault

[@carlyleung3390]

TRULY AMAZING fix.... still boggles my mind how this works. A bit of tape versus hundreds of dollars for a new tv... who knew? THANK YOU!!!

[@kevinjacobson2202]

This did the trick on my 1.5 year old 55" QLED. Same side as shown. What's interesting is that it takes the baclightlighting a bit of time to self-adjust now. For example, I'll have a white outline around the outside for the first few minutes, but then it disappears. As well, the repaired side was a bit lighter after taping, but it self-adjusted quickly and is fine now. Awesome fix.

[@trudyfroberts3477]

I just fixed mines. Was loosing my mine since yesterday. I hit the remote in my hand buttons 2:18 facing my palm. It worked!!!! It worked!!

[@user-tx8wr6iu4r]

Took a few hours of trial and error but this was a useful video. Taping off a few pins got my TV working again. Thank you

[@dr.davident]

Bro, you kept on trying to tape every single line ? I tried up to 5th line, it works a while then same things happen and screen turns half black and it restarts. To which line did you reach ?

[@user-tx8wr6iu4r]

@@dr.davident used a piece of black art tape the width of 2 pins and carefully moved it down the strip and reconnected until I got a visual. I kept the TV on, which I do not recommend if you are not experienced. Reason I say is because even after disconnected from power these TV's are capable of delivering a strong shock with any stored energy.

[@tiffanyakomani6086]

It’s strange that everyone is having the same problem around the same time. My tv gave no warning signs. Im beginning to think Samsung is up to something .

[@dman5501]

Having exactly same issue right now. Bought mine EXACTLY 2 years ago from this day

Same for me

Same here in Argentina. This issue was commented on a radio program and Samsung had to take responsibility for this, and fix the tvs even when the garantee had expire

I am not about to do all this . This TV is T -Rash ! Too many people having the same issue . No quality control @ Samsung ?

[@justree2192]

Thank you for your video it’s a eye opener !

[@techfive7202]

[@gben5689]

Brilliant! I was able to fix my TV with this method, took awhile to find the right spot to put the tape, I actually had to tape it in two places, leaving about 2 mm between the tape, works like a charm at the moment !!

[@lone_wolf_215]

Woke up early this morning to get paperwork done and I saw the 70 inch Samsung cutting on and off I’m glad she bought extended warranty, I’m glad that I bought 70 inch LG tv instead with extended warranty I never had any issues with 55 inch 4k Samsung tv it’s 7 years old

[@ActiYT]

ok well some how someway unplugging it and plugging that ribbon connector back in fixed ours! Thank you so much for bringing movie nights back to the bedroom!

[@seven4ish]

Great! This really fixed it. Wife's TV. I owe u

[@dillwiggle2]

I have a 50” TU7000F same exact problem less than 2 years old gonna open up and give this a try !

[@kakalos47]

i just did this to mine and it worked like a charm,you just saved me 300e for repair. THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@user-yi7fz6sn5o]

Finally! I can't believe this is how simple it was to fix. Thank you! I noticed that the colors are much more dull on the left side of my tv now. Am i covering too many pins or is this just what happens after the fix?

[@dr.davident]

to which pin did you reach ? i reached to the 5th but still same problem

[@dragonflygameruk4094]

I'm so glad I found this video, my TV is working again, after some faffing about to get the right pins. Mine lasted 3 years and 1 month before the fault occurred.

[@michaelpasiuk9332]

Hello does this fix work on a model: UN55ES8000F? I have the back panel off but I can’t seem to find the ribbon anywhere to unplug and tape the pins. Thx so much

[@danielteixeira7206]

Another one fixed with that! Thank You for sharing this!

[@edenbaleli6276]

Wow man, I was really doubtful but after trying many things, this actually worked! I don't know how much it will last, and still declare Samsung tvs are GARBAGE But thank you so much

[@jallyphish1244]

It’s important to understand that this is more of a bandaid than a fix. any one of the pins could be broken. I just spent 2 hours doing this only to get it barely working (horrible but still visible display). Sometimes this works like a charm, other times you should just throw in the towel and buy a new TV (not Samsung).

[@siddheshsahane5067]

Thanks a lot! The same solution worked for my model no. UN50TU8000F. It worked finally!!!

[@yugogin]

i seem to have applied too much pressure to take the back off now the screen seems to be damaged. any recommendations on fixing this issue?

[@ItsTawni]

My TV is experiencing the same exact problem. I removed one half of the ribbon from one of the clamps and the power cycle stopped and the TV remained on and finally made the sound of the TV rebooting over the speakers. But I have no picture on either panel. I tried unclamping the ribbon on both sides to no avail, both panels remained black. Does this mean that I have a short on both panels and both sides of the ribbon will need tape or does this mean my problem is elsewhere? Edit: I only needed to put tape on the left panel ribbon for the full picture to return but half of the color is faded on the left side of the screen. Is this a problem when covering too many pins? I will keep trouble shooting. Thanks

[@mariovigneau_therapeute]

Did you find a solution at your problem?

[@aladin_l]

what it on two sides?

[@Rmvp1]

I have same problem with my tv it s not restarting anymore but screen it s balck on both sides 😡

[@vkotari]

This worked, thank you so much!!!

[@dorthehansen9878]

Fixet the reboot, with tape. Now I have sound but still black screen. What do I do?

[@raveltammeleht6278]

ahh... thats so cool. :D Electronics are tricky!

[@user-ns2zp6te2s]

how do you get half the picture, with me only blue

[@zaheermunna29]

This way i use.. ❤️❤️really it's work. My tv is run🌹🌹🌹. Thnx🌹

[@aaronneifer6108]

This is great thanks only when I unplug one ribbon only the back lights come on but at least the TV doesn't go into the power cycle. Just curious as to why half the screen doesn't work like in the video? You just saved me from recycling a two year old TV! Cheers 🍻

[@GrouseGarage]

I know your comment is a year old, but I had the exact same thing with my Samsung TU8000. It would power cycle constantly but when I removed the ribbon from one side I did not get half of the TV working, but the backlight did come on and it did stop the power cycling. My fix was taping a small section on the right side ribbon, like most seem to have done.

[@willkelly2235]

Is that spot that you scotch taped the most common fail point on the connector?

[@REDDEX_O]

Managed to fix my tv after ~2 hours, I was about to give up when I found the spot that caused the reboot. Is the tape method safe to use? (Samsung UE55RU8005UXXC)

[@mbo7613]

My model is q6f Qn55q6famfxza BN94-12756C which doesn't have the same accessible gold ribbon cables. Instead, it has two sets of white ribbon cables from the mobo into the panel. When I disconnect both ribbon cables from the mobo, it still blinks. Since it blinks when the mobo is disconnected from the panel, does this indicate a bad mobo or ps?

[@anilbaksh9962]

Thank you. I just was given a TV like this by a friend for free. Guess I about to upgrade my 12 year old Visio.

[@seanskatesalot]

Hey, I'm currently trying to fix my tv with this. When detaching either of the left or right half connectors the power cycle issue still remains. If I disconnect the board that has the HDMI ports etc(left while looking at the back of tv) then it seems to not power cycle but just has a black screen. Any ideas to further isolate what the issue is here? Thanks

[@marcho6265]

Same problem after 3 years. Model 55TU8072 . Fixed with this method and in that same spot😂

[@johnzachariou6046]

Good job my friend

[@ottocharms]

Hey thanks for the help! I found the location for the tape so my tv stays on, the only problem is that I only have the backlights working and no picture. I had both: no picture and a bootloop. But what can be wrong if only the backlights are working? Thanks in advance!

[@NewsonsElectronics]

need to move the tape until you get both.

[@mrhacker7293]

Did it work?

Not yet 😢

[@alyssarams3017]

[@IceMan-xy1yt]

I got my picture back on the tv but the color is whack. Should i just keep moving the tape around?

[@MrHimynameisdanny]

I’m having the same problem. Unfortunately I think the best fix is throw the Samsung TV away and get a good brand…

Bro,,, I follow as you mentioned above... its working 100%. even i give to repair they said to me it can't repair....... thanks a lot...

[@noynicefamilyadventure]

everyone is experiencing these time around on all Samsung tv

[@Mikecardosobf]

The same thing is happening to me. Several months ago, I did a factory reset to fix it. The only thing I was hoping for at the time was that the TV would not go off. Now I cannot even reach that part of the TV settings as it keeps turning off and on, I have no control over it. I'm too much a newbie to try your solution, but I will see what I'll do.

Hello everybody iv just bought a Samsung UE58AU7100KXXU 58" with the same issue of restarting. Can the ribbon or the section part the ribbon tht has the tape put on not be changed for new parts or are they not chargeable?

When I disconnect one of the connectors, the whole screen turns black. I guess it differs between models but it didn't work for me. Samsung 50TU8072

[@viktorhorvath4660]

Hi, I did the same, and I played with it for about 3 hours, pushing the cover, before I found the optimal area where the picture was still good, although the color became a little weaker. I have a Samsung UE43TU7125K

[@randomcarguy3020]

My Samsung tv (None-smart) randomly turns off and just keeps going into a boot loop. I heard the sound that its turning on and then right off. I tried unplugging it for a few minutes but that did not do anything. I tried different outlets and tried holding down the power button but that did not do anything. Last night I left it unplugged for about an hour which yielded some great results. The tv turned on and stayed on for over an hour without any HDMI,USB's plugged into it. I left the TV unplugged overnight and this morning it turned back on without any issues. After about 20 minutes it went back into a boot loop. I also confirmed there are no sleep settings or power saver settings. Anything else I could try before tossing it in the trash.

[@dobrilstoev2925]

I am dealing with the simmilar one now 50tu8000. It was reseting itself and i tried to play with the tape and got some pictures and the weird now is that i have full picture without any tape on the ribbons. I have no idea how that happened but i do have few horizontal lines which still cannot clear. Any ideas please

[@NewsonsElectronics]

sounds like a bad pannel

[@philstevens9914]

The only way to truly fix these properly is with a COF bonding machine. Outside of India, I have not seen anyone doing this in N. America. I bet if you were to re-bond that section, it would work perfect.

[@MrKevin1409]

What is the name Of the tape??

[@richardr5013]

Kapton tape. You may even find a little extra somewhere in the inside of the TV or other electronics. Scotch tape may work, basically anything that is not conducting electricity

I mean my panel display dosent have dot pixel and looks good) but they accusing me to change to new panel, yeah its fixed my problem. And im asking its been 2 years after purchasing this TV why samsung TV so fragile with panel even im using wall braket. Edited : The technician even suggesting me to change to brand who has 5 years guarantee panel, because all of new TV are lame. If you wanna buy beautiful color just buy Sony and never touch samsung, because sony and samsung have same problem but sony has more beautiful color. And you can buy Chinese TV like xiaomi for long using TV. Like 5-7 years
