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

[@eknim]

repairing this TV on the exact same area for the second time now. The fact that Samsung likely intentionally made this faulty engineering decision to get more sales is nothing short of scandalous. Thank you for the help!

[@rjright7373]

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.

[@samm9414]

You are a legend!!! Fixed QE50Q60TAUXXU in under an hour. Covered with tape pretty same area as you showed in the video. Worked straight away so didn't even have to experiment. Samsung you should be ashamed...

[@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.

[@NewsonsElectronics]

cheers

[@user-fw4xw6ry3u]

Many many thanks for making this video. I have a Samsung QE50Q60T bought just 3 years ago. Just 10 days ago it started the reboot loop. Samsung authorised repair service said it would cost me £280 to fix it so I tried to search for some self fix solutions. Lucky that I came into this video. I tried the tape method right away (at the same pin positions as shown in the vid) and it fixed the restarting problem but still with some flickering horizontal lines. So I tried shifting the tape to the left bit by bit and also tried both thinner and wider tapes but without any luck. Then I tried shifting the tape to the right and then it worked immediately, even without any horizontal lines or loss of picture quality. For those interested to know, I covered pins 2-5 to the left of the centre of the cable. Hope you find this useful.

[@Gualaguala659]

Thanks bro for the motivation! Still struggling with those horizontal lines tho. Could you give some more details please?

[@OurWorldVillage]

It's funny that you describe your problem as such because we got our TV in 2021, and last night, it went into a random bootloop. We have the same model, so I'm going to attempt this fix.

[@Gintonic91]

Have you fixed it?​@@OurWorldVillage

[@OurWorldVillage]

@Gintonic91 actually yes! I was able to fix it due to the instructions shown in this video. As it turns out, it was the connector cables that led directly into the TV that was somehow weird and wonky. I covered 2 or 3 pins in from the right, and it worked. The TV has been going strong ever since!

[@Gualaguala659]

@ but you can see the lines right?

[@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.

[@stinman46]

My Qled has held up since 2018, probably shouldn't of said nothing 😁 mine was a cheaper model, the one that started cutting on and off. I could see where they shoved it in to far then when they snapped the lil black catch down they put a crease in the plastic hookup thing that hooks the 2 panel boards together

[@benthumwood5947]

So you blocked 5,6 and 7 and it worked for you... I feel like I'm close but not there yet 🤔

[@JbirdtheDJ]

@@benthumwood5947 the tape might be covering either all 3 or just 2 out that 3. Still to this day it's held up. Take your time you might find your TVs culprit, took me a bit to find it on my TV.

Your method worked on a SamsungQ60A. 2 years later this fix is still working. Thank you

[@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!

[@mohamedshanan4599]

Thank you very much … I Just finished fixing my QLED Q60A 50 inch, which I bought exactly 2 and 3 months before the on/off problem started …. I literally followed the video and made the exact same tape in the exact same place you put it and it’s working perfectly… before that I took it to a repair shop … I live in Germany… and the shop told me there is no hope for repair and that its the motherboard and he saw it several times in the same QLED Samsung… I was traveling the past 3 months … so I made this as a last hope before ordering a new tv… I was doing some digging the past couple of months since the problem started … and I found several similar people with the same exact problems like mine and every one said that the problem started exactly after the warranty have expired… it is really awful how can this happen unchecked… but anyway .. again can’t thank you enough.. you saved me 600€ for a new TV 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@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 😫

Thank you so much for sharing this video, it actually fixed my TV. Seems it's a common issue with the Samsung Smart TV, the TV can barely last for 4 years without issue. I won't choose Samsung next time.

[@moritzberger9383]

Man, you're my hero as for many here. I wonder how many thousands of dollars/euros whatever you have saved for all of us with this video. For anyone having the "working TV with sound but no screen"-problem: Just keep on going! I had the same issue and was about to give up. The way I got it working eventually was by taping up about 4 pins at a time starting from one side and then moving the tape slowly one pin at a time. Eventually you will get some sort of picture. For me it still had a lot of artifacts and flickering but from there you can try to narrow it down to 2-3 pins (in my case) to get a good picture. I think the reason you get the tv working but not the screen is because you're taping up some sort of ground pin or else that is basically shutting off the whole half of the screen meaning you're actually not isolating the shorted leds but again the whole half like you would by unplugging the ribbon cable. Therefore you have to keep going until you find the pins that are acually causing the shortage but do not disable the whole panel. At least that would make sense to me. Hope that helps...

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!

Thank you so much. I knew it was like the Sony t-con board. Sadly Samsung don’t have a t-con board instead it have those led boards. But it’s almost the same. Save me a lot of money. P.S. if nobody can find stock tape in the house then just cut the electrical tape from the tv holding the wires for covering those pins.

[@AlexKent-uk1ge]

Thankyou so much ! I followed your very detailed, methodical and precise video, pausing to carry out the steps. I now have a working tv again. Very happy, thanks again. 👌👍

[@sophiacanja9747]

Have the same model of the tv and tried this. Found out that our troubled pin was the first pin on the right side, but when we covered it with tape, the tv failed to produce any image altogether but didn’t have the original issue of turning on and turning back off again. We were so close, but it looks like we have to buy a new tv. Still appreciate the video though, very thorough and easy to follow!

[@salmo69]

Thank you very much, you are my hero. I covered about pin 11-14 and my Qled works!

[@NewsonsElectronics]

nice

[@madsam4]

Thanks a lot man, I followed your instructions and my TV is working! I have the black the lines, which are noticeable, but it's fine for now. My Tv is QE50Q60T. It 40 days out of the warranty and Samsung didn't cover it. They charge for the panel and labor 369€ here in Greece...

[@maximelevesque5914]

i have same tried for about 3 hours the most perfect i has is one black line and 2 greens

[@chukwuemekaphilip5144]

I have exactly the Same model. And it’s working fine now. The lines are there but then I’ll live with it

[@darude1420]

Which pins did you try I have the same TV

[@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.

[@darude1420]

Could you share which model TV and which pins you taped?

[@MohammedAneek]

@@darude1420 model is samsung 55RU7100. Actually for pins, it was more like a random order. Randomly try taping 4 to 5 pins. For me what worked was the left side ribbon, around 20pins from left side. So its approx around 20th to 24th pins (just an idea didn't count exact).

[@fatshoelace]

This fixed mine. Works. First I had some black lines, then through trial and error I covered the right ones so there's 0 lines. Looks normal

[@Dimpz]

I try this fix as my last resort and it worked. Thanks for the great vid!

[@VexedFrog]

2 year old video just saved me from buying a new TV. From the left, I had to cover pins 4-6 for the left panel on my QN55Q80AAFXZA

[@conziemsport]

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

[@M0rningSt4rGaming]

Amazing ! Working fix, if you see some lines but screen is turning on just move the tape by few mm to other side or cut the tape so it is thinner

[@gavin7778]

This works a treat, got the TV going not perfect but will work as a monitor or spare TV

[@yo3isl]

Dude!! You saved me from throwing my TV 📺 to the trash can.

Hi, my samsung qe50q60Tau is the same problem continously restarting and no screen, I taped pins for start the tv but only I see the back light is working and no menu etc I tryed change the main board but nothing the problem is same pls help me the tv is now turned on when I turn on but I didn’t see anything on the screen sorry my bad english.

[@ethanbrown3364]

Same issues here, everything seems fine now but the screens blank, can see the screen light up from the back lights but nothing else..

Did you guys solve this?

[@achczoosh7083]

Dude it actually worked. Yes some horizontal pixels are missing. Yes you can see the lines if you 12 inches away from the screen. But 2 hours later...its work... Nice one. Truely appreciate you taking the time to make the video....my TV is UE50TU8000KXXU IT NOW WORKING

[@LucaViene]

It did work indeed! I got it straight away and cant see any difference on the screen. Thanks so much

[@Aphixx]

Muntzing! Nice work; solid process of elimination, and the fix was the last thing I would've expected (figured the tape would be to hold a ribbon in place or something). Have a slightly different TV so not sure if the issue will be similar but had to leave a comment to say this is really cool and helpful either way.

[@rux5456]

This video really helped!Thank you so much for this amazing work!You are a blessing!👍

[@mustafae.6719]

Is your TV still working?

[@rux5456]

@@mustafae.6719 yes lol

[@jeroenmeijer2832]

Thanks for the helpful video! I managed to keep the screen on by applying tape. Backlight stays on and I have sound as well. However, I do not get any picture. Any clue what might be a next step in this case?

[@jeroenmeijer2832]

I had to be a bit more patient apparently. Taping the 3th and 4th from the left resulted in picture. The screen however seems to be only giving white/blueish colors. Any ideas what might cause this? Does this mean the screen is actually unrepairable?

[@EliasElls]

@@jeroenmeijer2832 How did you fix the problem with the white screen? When i cover the pins my screen turns bright white. If i cover the other pins the colors are normal but the screen crashes after a few seconds.

[@ricklenes6505]

Thank you!!! This fixed my tv in such an easy way! Saved a lot of money (:

[@SimasMc]

Hi, i have the exact same issue. I can sort of find the pins that are burnt. But i do not get any picture on the screen. Could it be that theres just to many pins shorted?

[@Lsaboteur]

Can we change the ( cable ) for a new one or the tape is the only solution?

[@chrisholley1431]

Thank you so much for this video! I was ready to throw my TV away, but it's back to good as new! Couldn't cut the tape smaller than 2mm so covering 3(ish) pins but not noticeable at all. Very happy! X

[@TheTeisings]

This fix worked on my Samsung 65” TV!!! I am so happy that I don’t have to throw it away. Seriously guy who made this video, I love you and owe you a bottle of Jack. Wahoo!!!!!

[@michelcoppens5869]

Thank you for this video, did the exact same as you showed in the video and tv works again. Only had mine from brand new just over 2 year. Thank you for aaving me money. Sadly i cracked the back panel trying to get it loose.

[@DevineOrr]

Thanks much this actually works I just got a TV yesterday and I just finished fixing after watching your video didn't use tape tho I use a small strip of paper but it works 💯💯💯

[@KatieSimmonspachirii]

thank you so much! i thought i was gonna have to throw out my brand new tv. to everyone that fixed the issue of restarting but has no picture/bad lines going through the screen, i was having the same problem but i just messed around with the tape on the spot that it needed to be until the picture came back clear. it took me a little while. also, try to make the tape as small as you can. i only have mine covering maybe 2-3 lines.

[@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.

[@Tina.Di.Napoli]

Hey, could you give me an update on this? Does your TV still work? Thanks in advance 🙏

[@tarrylamang]

​@@Tina.Di.Napoli Hello. Yes, my TV still works although the screen now has few horizontal lines on the screen. Noticeable but not enough to be problematic.

[@Tina.Di.Napoli]

@@tarrylamang just tried it and clumsy me, let the screen slip and get broken 😅 well, now it's definitely time to buy a new one

[@tarrylamang]

@@Tina.Di.Napoli oh no. sorry to hear that. haha. lucky for me, i had prior experience working in electronics. Anyway, I hope your next TV isn't Samsung. It seems quite unreliable.

[@Hakido]

I can’t believe it was that simple… It wasn’t the exact layout as yours but the same method worked with mine The color is just slightly off on some of the hues but its better than having to replace the whole tv.
