Samsung TV is blinking red? Check this first

Why is your Samsung TV blinking red? Well...
A red flashing power light on a Samsung TV usually indicates a power supply failure, but it can also be a glitch in the HDMI hookup or a technical defect. Troubleshooting the problem may involve replacing the television if the power supply is bad or resetting the HDMI connection.
Power supply failure:
If you run into a flashing red light on your Samsung TV, the most likely suspect for the problem is a bad power supply. This lack of power could be caused by a bad electrical wall outlet or damage to the power supply from a power surge.
Software glitch:
If your Samsung TV was disconnected from its power source during a software update, this could cause issues with the TV’s ability to connect.
Hardware defect:
If your Samsung TV has taken damage from being dropped or splashed with a liquid, this could lead to hardware failures that will stop the TV from powering up correctly.
HDMI port defect:
If you have a gaming console or other appliance connected to your TV and you turn it off without swapping the HDMI input back over, this can cause the TV source input to glitch. This glitch in turn can prevent the TV from powering up.

I will never buy another Samsung again, this is the third TV of theirs I've bought that hasn't lasted even two years.

[@mikemoney9688]

Thank you!!!!!.....My tv had a black screen and my power button was blinking red...I watched this video and changed the batteries in my remote and after 30 seconds my tv just cut on!!!... Thanks!!

[@noemibendo]

Nothing works...The TV is only 3 years old and got it for almost $2k... I really thought Samsung is a good brand.

Having experienced the same problem, its clear that Samsung is the worst company ever. It should be boycotted.

[@nicholassharp8691]

Samsung needs to replace all of these. This is ridiculous. Nothings working. I’m a cable technician too. I know what I’m doing. This is a bad product. What’s sad is I just bought a 65 inch thinking I found a good product then my 32 inch went out a week later. I had it maybe a year and a half.

[@djdoctorstyle]

Thank you!!!! Mine had a fixed image on screen "Samsung Smart TV" wouldn't power off and if power cycled would stay power led flashing. Changed to a different power outlet a it worked! Kudos!!!

[@advayarajbahak7310]

How did you fix it?

[@djdoctorstyle]

@@advayarajbahak7310 at first changed to a different outlet and it worked for a while. Then it started acting up again to the point it wouldn't power up. Replaced it with a LG.

[@gabrielmarquez3365]

My case in particular we moved . Then one of my friends accidentally ripped the hbmi cord (while being in a port of the tv) when i connected it it worked for 15 min and started failing . What should i do ???

[@user-mx2ss7cv6m]

super nice ,,, fixed my issue by just hold down power button n the remote for 15 sec

Thank you so much !!!!! The video is useless but your comment helped me!!! You are my savior

I had the red light blinking until I discovered that my Apple TV remote was causing the issue. I reinitiated the Apple TV remote and problem solved. 😮

[@smarthomestarter]

That is interesting. I wonder what the underlying cause was

[@erikcarpio1956]

@@smarthomestarter I think it has to do with charging the Apple TV remote in a laptop 💻 for me that messed up the remote. Never charged it again like that. I charge it the traditional way wall 🔌 charger

Resetting Apple TV Remote worked for us. 🎉 We had blinking red light and volume going up by itself.

[@ttvfatmangames]

Update your firmware..... The damn tv wont turn on... How you supposed to do that

[@smarthomestarter]

Go to the Samsung website. Download the update to a usb. Plug that usb into your tv. See if it recognizes the update.

[@paullowell6948]

Great advice thank you

Mine doesn't have the redl light. Still tried just to rule out these issues. No luck. Any advice?

[@sanktumtomb5659]

I had a power surge fried my router PlayStation 5 isn't working but my TV turned on then turned off click the few times let me turn it back on so I just switch the plug that it was plugged into and it clicked over and turned on and it's working fine so I might just have been the outlet or power surge protector that I had it plugged into
