If it's flickering how are you going into settings?? I can't even get to settings because of black screen. What am I doing wrong? Help please!

[@BlessedGT]

Black screen means that tv is done unfortunately. Happened to me before i got a Samsung one.

[@keylaloll4995]

Did u ever fix ?

[@soupisnotameal4172]

You’re the greatest. Thank you so much. I changed all the picture settings and tried everything you said. Still nothing. Then I changed my brightness-50 and contrast-35. Your precise numbers.

[@ebnoxsuscamaria1443]

Hey cold resetting the tv worked for me. I have a q90b, hope this helps. And thank you so much tech test cause i was freaking out for a second lol

[@jonathansearch1508]

Pulled out plug. Waited 10 seconds. Put plug back in. Fixed. Simples. Thanks man👍

[@will.7]

You needed a youtube video to figure that out?

[@kynlinflagg7312]

None of these are working for me is flickering blue then black so I can’t get to a menu I unplugged the hdmi cords and will leave it off for a few minutes

[@dashawngary824]

what happened after you left it off my moms tv is doing this right now

[@nowshinkamal9745]

What happened right now? . My one is same problem now .

[@luisdioniciod]

Thanks you, unplug TV working 😁

[@Spudchucker92]

My TV which is about 6 years old is flickering on both HDMI channels. So on TiVo and my DVD player the screen is flickering, and it’s only really at the bottom of the screen. I’ll try these steps but I fear the TV is on the blink.

[@TemporaryName80]

What was the result/outcome for you? My Samsung 6710 is doing the same (flickering on the bottom half of the screen) Any help would be appreciated 🙏🏻

[@SonjaRobin]

I changed my hdmi cablr and now if runs no flickering.

[@rozebud-u5d]

thank u man my tv’s a 80 inch and i thought i lost the mf ur a life saver

[@williamadams9091]

Well outside of rebooting how can I do any other those steps if it's flickering

[@techtests]

If it's flickering too strongly to try anything else, then you'll have to jump straight to looking at the internal components. I would start with the T-Con's connection.

[@martina5850]

Wow unplugging the TV worked 😮

[@techtests]

Great!

[@ebnoxsuscamaria1443]

For me as well, i was freaking so thank you test tech

[@baxterdog1]

Who knew by unplugging the TV to stop flickering. See if it happens again. It had been driving me nuts. I did a speed test on fibe internet it was fast thinking it was that. Well thank you

[@user-sw4pr6fp8l]

I came to the comments so I wouldn't have to watch the whole video (was hoping someone made it into a list lol) and I saw yours so I tried it and it worked !! I can't believe it was that simple lol I think my gf probably just didn't try that bc our plug is hard to get to🤣

[@samnnamani]

Mine flickers on certain apps or movies but never on any part of the screen displaying static pictures

[@techtests]

If you're using a streaming stick over HDMI it could be some kind of conflict there. If you're using apps installed on the TV itself then try uninstalling/reinstalling them or updating firmware or factory reset.

[@keylaloll4995]

Going to try this , my tv was flickering then a black pixel over took the tv , now it’s just a black k screen

[@funcuriosity8739]

Plug off tv did work 🤯, but i dont know why the flickering was just on sat 📡 tv , i was worry and thinking if was a problem of turner because i was test also the same channels through the app Samsung and doesn't have flickering 🤔 while in turner sat flickering, which was the problem? Anyways thanks you

[@123vallyboy]

Mine come goes to start up screen Samsung then green flickering screen

[@Lewis1995]

My tv was fine and the electric went off now its flickering and nothing is fixing it

[@123vallyboy]

But I did have a bad sound bar when I turned on first time

[@osculus]

My approximately 12 year old Samsung is flickering during certain movies and programs, and with those movies and programs it does it every time I watch them, about every 20 seconds or so. With the majority of content it is OK, and the flickering programs have only appeared on Amazon Prime, Max, and Hulu. Is this just the old TV ready to die, or is it something to do with the programs and channels? Thanks for providing this video! It helped me eliminate some possible causes of the error.

[@jamest6558]

Thank you Tim, you fixed it !

[@169babylove]

Thank you so much it worked ❤

[@wSevenDays]

Turning off power did help! Thanks!

[@naserznaserz]

My Netflix abd BBC apps were just flickering. Everything else was fine. Unplugging/replugging worked 😳😁

[@keagan0000]

Great explanations thank you trying now

[@techtests]

Thanks

[@ACE-ry3zs]

Im stuck at step 1 because my tv is flickering off and on. So i cant get into menu or settings. Its turning off and on maybe im on the wrong video.

[@kkellem7384]

Did you find a fix yet?

[@ACE-ry3zs]

@@kkellem7384 seems to be dead had to replace it because im not going open it to try and fix it. Its too big and old.

[@King-a-ling]

I bet none of these work

[@techtests]

At least one will work for most people - try them and let me know

[@wildedgeknivesbytiagodemat3683]

I've turned the power off for 10secs and dis the trick. Perfect. Thank you

[@BlessedGT]

I tried the first step and it worked sir. Thank you

[@fredrikwinther2147]

First step worked for me as well! Thank you!

[@barsaktas8111]

First step worked thank you mate!

[@phillipw5555]

Unless

[@bumperxx1]

So my samsung tv qled9 flickers a white flash of light when OFF. What is that about? Its mostly a white flash in the middle at the bottom it only does this when I trun it off from the remote and it sits with a black screen for a bit

[@techtests]

Could be a sign that the backlights are failing or there is a short circuit somewhere, but I wouldn't worry about it unless anything else happens. (I probably would unplug the TV from the wall overnight though, just in case).
