Samsung Smart QLED TV Keeps Restarting! Fixed with TAPE! (Model QN50Q60TAF)

This Samsung QN50Q60TAF TV keeps restarting no matter what I did but after doing some basic troubleshooting I was able to get it going just by taping the ribbon cable inside. You can do it too!.
Tools
Screwdriver and tape that's it.
Procedure:
1. Take off the back
2. Disconnect the cable from the main board to the power supply
3. Verify the backlights are on
4. Disconnect ribbon cable to mainboard (see if stays on)
5. Tape ribbon cable on LCD panel.

Samsung has been reported to be utilizing slave labour…. Imagine being one of those workers; what satisfaction could you get beyond doing crappy work for the Pennies you earn.

[@russsnyder5765]

Awesome video. Just saved me from buying new parts that I didn’t need. My Samsung QLED had the same issue and I was sure it was the power supply or main board. Found this video and fixed my TV with a small piece of tape without any noticeable loss of picture quality. Thanks!

[@JbirdtheDJ]

This was exactly my problem and the exact solution. I paused a show and when I came back my TV was power cycling every few seconds. Took it apart and unplugged the left side. Saw that was the problem child and spent a bit finding the exact culprit (5-7 in from the left) taped it up and it worked. Thank you for providing this easy solution! Never buying a Samsung Qled TV again.

[@MrOlmz]

Thank you SO much man. I had the exact same problem with my 2020 55” TV, which *accidentally* began right after the expiration of the 2-year warranty. Took it to customer service which offered me a repair for 75% (!!) of the original price. Followed your instructions and fixed it with just a little bit of tape: it works perfectly now! You totally saved me! I will never buy a Samsung TV again.

[@AndrewCapland]

This is an incredible fix. Geek Squad quoted me a repair price that was 60% of the cost of my TV (so I'd just buy a new one). 15 mins and a lil scotch tape and we're back in action. This video just saved me hundreds of dollars.

So glad I came across this video. Was hopeless and was almost sure that i may have to buy a new tv. Thought of booking in a technician but thought of giving it a go myself after watching your video. Went straight for that pins where you showed in your video. Tried shifting few times, got the sound on and the reboot stopped. But the reboot started as soon as i tried to plug that pin in again, until one spot from the left worked. Bingo. Not only that it also fixed few yellow green horizontal lines i had started to get few weeks back on top of the screen . Thank you man. Have subscribed to your channel. 👍 You the man.

[@dominoez21]

Thank you for posting this repair video. I appreciate your persistence to repair things and generate less waste in the world. Scotch tape method worked on my Samsung UN55KS8000FXZA that kept boot cycling. I did this initially and it did not work. I knew I had a good power supply, but was not sure about the main board and led panel. I went ahead and installed a new main board and no change. I did not find any burned resistors on the led panel. Went back to scotch taping along the 2 connectors on the main board. Tried a few different sections and then all of a sudden, voila! For anyone out there with a Samsung and who has tried almost everything, try the scotch tape method again on various sections. You may get lucky! It’s worth a shot and costs zero dollars!

[@EvilEvo06]

Unbelievable ! I just did this on my 75" Q60 after replacing both PCB's and returning them i was about to toss the tv and saw this video and it worked ! Thanks for sharing this much appreciated!

[@mightyblah]

Thank you so much! Literally 4 days after the warranty ran out I had this problem. Samsung didn't want to know, and I was quoted 350£ for a diagnostic with no guarantee of repair. Even if its only temporary fix you've given me some time to try and afford a new tv (I originally brought damsung thinking the premium price would mean good quality, never again!) But yeah. Thank you so much dude.

[@richarddixon5924]

Hi, thanks so much for this video. My Samsung is only 3years old. It started cycling through a power loop this week. 30mins working with the scotch tape and now I’m back to a working tv with a few horizontal black lines. I’m sure I’ll probably replace it, but now there is absolutely no rush. Thanks again 👍

[@tarrylamang]

loved the way you ran through the process of diagnosing the fault and loved it more that a tape fixed the issue for me too. (i placed the tape exactly where you taped it in the video) Contacted Samsung and I was told my warranty ran out (its funny how things go wrong as soon as the warranty runs out - 6 months to be exact). And they were charging me £110 for inspection but the fix itself could be more. I will make sure that my next TV isn't going to be Samsung. I originally thought the fault was with the power supply board since the tv was failing to switch on and constantly rebooting. So I ordered a used replacement Power Supply Board from £40 from eBay. Which of course, did not work since it wasn't a Power Supply Board issue. (If only I had come across this video sooner, I wouldn't have had to go through the hassle of ordering and returning the PCB) Just as in the video, I followed the diagnosis steps and just as in the video, the fault was in the display flex and on the exact same pins (Seems to be a common issue judging by the number of views on this video and the positive comments in it). I am happy that this fixed for me. For how long this will work, only time will tell.

[@conziemsport]

This was a very clear and precise video. Really liked the fault finding process. Much appreciated. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Tried unplugging the left from right and it stopped restarting so I knew it was internal and which side but didn't think to cover those pins. My tv is a TU8000 and looks pretty much perfect now.

@@dobrilstoev2925from my research you’ll have to play around with the tape again until you isolate the pin or pins causing the horizontal lines

[@koljamartens6965]

@@dobrilstoev2925 The exact same thing happened to me. Screen turned balck and set restarted after 30 Seconds. I could not find a tape position that was viewable. Either the set rebooted or the lines were across the whole screen. Then suddenly I had all tape removed an the set started and stayed on. Only had a very fine line, only visible on solid color background. The tv worked like this for a couple days and then suddenly shut off again. Now the restarting happens much faster, wich made testing with tape a little easier. But there is no combination that is viewable. I want the single line without tape back 😫

[@RelixFox]

Thank you so much for your video! My TV started this issue last year. After a few days unplugged it turned back on like nothing happend. Half a year ago it started again, the loop was getting shorter every time and I gave up. I tested if it would work after 6 months, searched the whole internet for a solution, gave up and then when I was about to sell all the good parts on ebay this video right here was recommended. The TV works like it did 3 years ago when I bought it. For all of you guys watching this because you have the same issue, its scary to open the TV up but it works. Getting tthe back panel off sounds like breaking the whole thing but it needs a bit of force so dont get afraid. My first piece of tape was too big, the entire right side was off. In this case try a smaller piece until you get your image. Dont give up and save a few hundred bucks for a new TV!

Good job my friend

[@MohammedAneek]

Good video. So here's what I did: 1. Had LED blink issue, no display 2. Tried taping part of the right side ribbon. TV got on and sound worked fine but no display. Tried taping different parts on right side ribbon, same result = no display but TV works (sound on menu etc) 3. Then tried taping left side ribbon (left part of display main cable), no display again. Eventually when taping different pins, display finally worked. There's a dim horizontal dark grey lines which is not visible from 5 feet apart. So I think this is the only possible solution to get the TV to work somehow. In my country it's almost impossible to repair or have to pay a hefty price. TLDR: Try taping the ribbon cable pins on both side (left ribbon and right ribbon too) 4-5 pins at a time. Eventually display works. This is for all those guys who say they fixed the blinking issue, but no display. This could work. Worked for me.

So the masking tape worked on the left side ribbon cable, and now the TV stops turning on/of, and I see the white no HDMI source screen, but I notice 2 vertical lines about 1/4" apart going from top to bottom of screen right in the middle. Is this related to the masking tape or is the panel bad? It is a QN75Q6DRAF. I assume the masking tape is a fix for a short in the cable, would replacing the cable solve the issue? I read online that vertical stationary lines could be a bad tcom connection. I already replaced the power and main boards, bit not even sure that is the issue.

Different model but same fix kinda worked - stopped it from powering off and on constantly with the tape in a few places but it was only when I put the tape in almost exactly the same place did I get a picture at all, shimmery on one side and with a lot of obvious lines missing horizontally and vertically but, better than nothing!

This technique just fixed my samsung 50 inch UN50TU8000F !!!! It took some time figuring out which pins to tape and how many at a time to tape, but for the cost of how much tape I used this fix is amazing, thank you so much Mr. @newsonselectronics without this I would have added another tv to the e-waste pile and spent more money.

Hey, I have the same tv as you. Was yours turning on and off every 10 seconds or so? Hoping to give this a try.

@@natashavani9588 mine wouldn't even stay on for 10 seconds, it would turn itself on and off within 2 seconds to where I couldn't even see the samsung logo appear or hear the sound when it first turns on. I diagnosed mine just like the video and it ended up working for me, I used the blue painters tape to cover the pins. Mine took alot more pins to cover than in this video though. I had to cover like 5 or 6 of them with a fairly wide piece of tape. It's really time consuming but for the price of a piece of tape it's worth saving your tv.

@@BlastHands did you get no picture when you covered some pins because I'm getting that.

[@BlastHands]

@@animegodz6981 yeah that does happen which means your on the right track!!!! Just keep playing around with it and soon you will find the right combo of pins and you will get picture back. It took me like 5 hours of taping and neck pain but you will make it!!

i have same models i just been able to have clear image but with one black line just a little bit down the moddle screen and 2 greens lines almost on top of the screen did happened to you ? i couldnt have more like this but i would like to have 100% screen perfect. i covered 4 pins like in the video but doesnt bring back perfect . did you covered 1 pins more each side like in the video ?

[@wildlifefilm]

Thanks so much for this video! I've had the same Bootloop issue with my GU50TU8079UXZG and managed to solve my issue by taping ≈four of the pins on the ribbon cable with clear package tape! It may have taken one or two hours, but the TV runs perfect now once again! Thx a lot for your guide!

[@kornelk687]

Hey I have the same model and the same problem, which pins exactly did you tape?

[@wildlifefilm]

@@kornelk687 from what I've gathered, the pins you have to tape over will depend on which pixel rows of the display are defective, which I assume will be different for each case. In mine, it were multiple pins at the left side of the center. As annoying as it sounds, you really just have to use try & error to find the pins you need to tape over, that's what I did.

[@kornelk687]

Thank you for your response. Can you explain to me what I need to do exactly? Seal the pins individually or what? I'm not an expert on the subject but it seems a pity to throw a 3 year old TV and 800€ in the trash. Please be understanding...😢

[@wildlifefilm]

@@kornelk687 no problem at all ^^ I basically just used a piece of clear sticky tape (as it was the thinnest tape I had), and cut it into a smaller piece with a scissor. I then just randomly taped over a couple neighboring pins, in roughly the same location as in the video. After I found out that didn't work, I took the tape off and taped over another couple different (neighboring) pins. This time it worked and the TV didn't shut down, but the image looked quite bad. I then removed the tape, cut a smaller piece to size, and taped over only a few of those pins. That did the trick. The image looks acceptable and the TV doesn't shut down anymore. There are still some artifacts / flaws in the image, but I'm just happy it work again. You might possibly get a better result if you seal off the pins individually, but I just used a single piece of tape and taped over ≈4-6 pins at once.

[@kornelk687]

@@wildlifefilm Thank you for your explanation and patience. I will follow your advice and let you know how I got on. Thanks
