solution to samsung turning off

Postby krimi » Fri Aug 12, 2011 2:16 am

If your tv turns on, gets a picture and then turns off after a minute , less or more then I may have your answer. On top of the metal housing which your plastic bulb assembly slides into is a temp sensor. It has a blue and white wire that plugs into it. You can easily see the wire and plug above the metal housing. This sensor seems to go bad and tell the tv to turn off. It is meant to be a fire hazard yet why would a tv that has worked for 4 years suddenly become too hot? Pull the plug out and jump the plug with a wire so the blue and white are now connected. You have bypassed the faulty sensor and your tv should now turn on. The sensor can be replaced cheaply..just have to pull assembly out to get to it. seems simple huh? this would explain people using fans to cool off back of tv..really cooling off sensor.
