My Samsung TV keeps Shutting off within 5 seconds of turning it on

[Model] = HLS6186WX/XAA

[Version] = PF03

[SAMSUNG]

This has happened months ago but it would at least stay on for 5 to 10 minutes before shutting itself off so I was able to have enough time to go to the TV menu setting and mess around with it and a combination of randomly changing all settings and unplugging/replugging all the wires eventually fixed the issue BUT…..

this time I can’t even get to the menu settings before it shuts back off again it literally comes on for 5 - 10 seconds and shuts itself off!!! I’ve tried everything I’ve even turned it on and off like 15 times! I just don’t know what to do since I can’t get the TV to stay on long enough to even try to go through the menu settings, not sure if that would even fix the issue or not but it would be nice to be able to try that, but I can’t!

When the TV turns on the Bottom Lamp indicator Light will turn or flash green then when it shuts its self off all 3 indicator lights will continue to flash. The“Standby/Temp” Light will Flash Red and The “Timer” and the “Lamp” Light will flash green.

Display indicator lights on the bottom of the tv look like this below…

Standby/Temp Timer Lamp

Can you please help me? I’m getting extremely frustrated I can’t afford a new a TV and someone in my family is always watching TV, Please help anything will be appreciated!

@renrad all three lights flashing is usually an indicator of a defective Lamp. You do want to start with that. Check on here

I have the same problem with my non-smart Samsung LED 3D TV, except for the flashing lights. I tried unplugging the TV but that did not help. This TV is 9 years old & the Model # is UN40EH6030F. HELP!

unfortunately, usually the micro board with all the IO ports on board, sometimes a software update can resolve but we generally just pop another board in, hey presto, solved. This is for the problem where the tv fires up, stays on for 5 to 10 seconds and then powers down, painful fault as you cant get the tv to fire up long enough to do a software download of course. If you can message me, I can email you a shot of the faulty board that you need to look for. They vary from model to model but generally the same or similar board. cheers Brenton
