I am a not so mechanically inclined person. Thanks for the GREAT instructions. Others thought I was crazy when they saw me open the back of the TV and try to fix it with Scotch Tape. IT REALLY WORKED! It took time and patience, but I found the problem pin. You rock!

Hi , I fixed that problem. Underneath the left speaker, there is a ground tape that was not properly installed. It was over a few circuit line. I removed it and reinstalled properly and Bingo Tv worked again. My guess is with speaker vibration over time it made a short circui, it was after 4 year in my situation. Good luck!

This was the best video I found to diagnose my TV after I replaced both boards. I’m glad I already replaced it 😢 Thank you!!

[@DJStKittz]

So with Samsung TV's sometimes the boot loop is due to a faulty EEPROM.. As for the tape method in general, It should be noted that this is not 100% full proof method. I am not in a big city, but I see a dozen or so TV's a month at my shop and this method works better on some tv's than others. It's generally a driver ic issue and unless you have a fancy hot bar press like in china factories - you not be replacing those ribbons by hand. As Newson stated, it is almost never the capacitors (Ive never seen this either, although some videos on youtube say otherwise). I have never had 100% success with the tape method either, it's super time consuming to narrow down 1 or 2 pins on the ribbon that are at fault and not cost effective for a repair shop. (atleast for myself). At best it is a bandaid fix , I tell customers it is similar to patching an exhaust verses replacing. It buys the customer some time with the tv if it works. Best case when it works you generally end up with horizontal lines of some sort that you do not see when 5ft away from the tv. Long story short, if buying a new / used tv is not in the budget. This buys you sometime. However, generally you are just using these tv's for parts as painful as it is to see a tv go to waste.

I have Samsung UN65MU7600F ( VA, Edge LED, 3840 x 2160 pixels ) It all of a sudden started re-boot like in subject video I traced the issue all the way to the Panel drivers boards TV has 4 Driver boards ( each of them have 4 chips on ribbon ) Disconnecting ANY of 4 driver board gets the TV going ( w/o picture of course ) So essentially ANY 3 boards are fine, adding Random 4th one will cause boot cycle ! Any ideas? Power supply issues?

[@sabre5216]

Its funny i have a Samsung UN50TU8000FXZA and it suddenly started to auto reboot I literally left the TV on to go make breakfast came back and saw it like that tried to identify the short circuit and put some tape on it saw horizontal lines across my tv and knew it was done for.

[@flipflipflap8293]

hello ...... question my tv goes in the reboot after half our ue40es7000, i found it on the street, and use it maybe 20 min in the week ....... tilll now he had be okay some small picture problem but not irritating. when i ope the back side i don t see strange things ...... only on the connector cable comes from maniboard is see on the connector (on powerboard ) braun spots ( grey cable side, the others are black) i gonna try now this tric with tape , when that not works witch board i must change the powerboard or the mainboard? thanks for your time and answer

@@InsideOutElectronics I had a similar issue on a Samsung 50TU8072 50" TV and tried the fix described in the video, which solved the reset loop issue, but produced a black screen (sound, power on button, remote and backlight LED array seemed fine, but could not get any image). What SOLVED THE ISSUE COMPLETELY for me was applying the tape on the very wide connector cable coming from the main board and going into the long and thin LCD controller board at the bottom of the TV (I applied it on the LCD controller end, though it probably does not matter which end you pick as long as you apply the tape on the main board cable only). The difficult part was singling out the correct pin to tape (a lot of trial and error, starting with wider tape and ending up with a thin strip just 1 or 2 pins wide), but the result was well worth the hours spent: there is no detectable loss of quality, but of course time will tell how durable this solution will be and how long until I need to repeat the whole process, in case another pin becomes defective... Note: as I was testing out the pins, I found several of them which removed the reset loop issue when covered with tape, but produced a black screen with sound and some combination of adjacent pins which even produced some image if all were covered (only vertical or horizontal lines, color zones, gradients or grids of various colors, no clear picture though), but only ONE particular pin returned the TV to full normal functionality in my case; depending on your TV defect you might need to cover just 1 pin or several (not necessarily adjacent), just arm yourself with a lot of patience and take the time to test them all out and good chances are you will have saved a lot of money!

[@dillwiggle2]

Works but with one issue. I have the 50” version of this tv. Startup screen came on then a black cloud appears and fills out the whole screen right after then it shuts off and then on again and keeps cycling on/off. So I gave this tape thing a try and wasn’t having any luck but i gave it one more try and this time screen stayed on but was all white and faint. So I cut the tape smaller to cover less contacts and next time it looked pretty good. Only issue is the left side of screen seemed to have a red/pink tint when it’s supposed to be brown/beige. I had about 7-8 pins covered with the tape so I managed to cut the tape super narrow we’re talking like 1mm wide to cover only one contact. Managed to narrow it down to the one where the tv doesn’t turn on and with that only one contact covered the tv works but I still notice the red/pink hue on the left side. Depending on what your watching/playing it’s more or less noticeable but hey at least the tv works and it’s watchable. I might see how much that little ribbon cable costs it’s only like about 4” long and connects both sides of the screen together. I’m assuming that’s the issue is the contact on the ribbon cable.

So I have the 55" version (same model). It was doing EXACTLY what yours was doing; power cycle every few seconds, then come back on with no video, but had audio. Finally, I unplugged everything connected to the back of the TV and held down the power button for about a minute. When it came back on, it no longer cycled, HOWEVER, now I have a ~2" wide Black vertical line. I tried the cable connection giggle, and switched HDMI input port, but the line stays no matter what. I used an ESD safe orange-stick to apply slight pressure across those amber ribbon-type cable and noticed a very slight flickering of the Black band, but that's all I could get it to do. Any thoughts?

[@one20m01]

I hoped this would be something other than the tape method. For me I have a 70in. Tape method does work but there are horizontal lines disabled. Looks halfway decent from a distance away. So mine is 8 pins. I am still trying to figure out if I can let up 1 pin. But having trouble finding which one I can uncover to lessen the problem. So for those trying to figure out the tape method. Just like he shows you have to disconnect a ribbon cable on the panel boards, turn it on, see if you get a picture. Because the board is disconnected, you will see nothing but white on that panel board. After that, cover up half the pins on one side put the ribbon cable back in and see if it boot loops. If it doesn't boot loop, you know you have the right pins covered. Cut that piece of tape in half and cover half of those pins. You can narrow it down to isolate the right pins. But because pins are covered, the image will not be the same as before.

Firmware is quite big and should be in flash memory. Staying in bootloader means the last update deployment was unsuccessful and it has nowhere to jump. Usually, update process takes 2 steps. First, it downloads new firmware and stores it somewhere in flash memory. It should verify that the downloaded file matches online one. Probably using MD5 checksum. Second, it sets some flags saying update is ready to be deployed and reboots. Bootloader knows there’s update so it will deploy it by overwriting the old firmware (I heard about systems that use incremental firmware locations but never worked with them). At the end, it will clear update flags and reboot the system. After rebooting, bootloader will jump into a new firmware. The problem is, when deployment fails (can be many reasons actually) there’s no valid firmware. Your firmware is corrupted so your system will be scheduled for reset by watchdog. The only solution could be reprogramming your flash memory with proper firmware but I doubt you can do this without special tools and firmware itself(reddit)

Thanks for the video. However what do you do if you find out that the issue is from the left side LCD panel? I current have that issue with two of my TVS and seeing that they is whether the white ribbon cable is connected it, I can’t simply use the tape method. Await your feedback. Thanks

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.

los displays están siendo fabricados para que duren menos y la cosa es que no es nada más poner la cinta en el conector y estar probando a la suerte de que funcione, porque este procedimiento se tiene que hacer con información precisa de los datos que maneja la tv , y aunque llegara a funcionar se tienen que hacer ajustes de voltajes necesarios para alargar la vida útil del display. les digo esto porque me dedico a reparar pantallas y aprecio que las personas intenten reparar las tvs, solo es investigar un poco más porque el intento es bueno solo tienes que ampliar tus conocimientos. un fuerte abrazo !!

I was right there. I cut a super thin strip of tape and used tweezers. Started at one end and moved one pin at a time across both the ribbons on the bottom. It took nearly an hour, but IDK about you, I can't earn enough in an hour to replace a 50" TV. It was worth my time. But I do agree... will never buy this brand TV again.
