That’s what the service remote does. He didn’t do anything special. He just had an old remote he supposedly modified to send the correct ir commands.

I don't get it, he didn't want to tell you how he fixed it, that is odd.

Yes, he said that he does not use the Samsung service remote. He has a gray
Samsung remote. I think this remote is a very old remote. Perhaps a VCR or TV remote. He says that he pushes two buttons simultaneously on it and this takes the tv directly into service menu. He says that he had to do some kind of modification in this remote.
I don't know but it sounds fishy to me. He says he pressed it once and the tv said "Not available" and the second time it went in without any problems.
I am not aware of any remote modification on as Samsung remote that does this kind of operation. Perhaps someone in this forum can tell????

I have ordered one from Aliexpress but it has not come yet. I took the TV to a colleague of mine and he got it sorted. His explanation on how he got the tv sorted was rather sketchy so i left it at that.

This option worked in older models, but it will not work in new “smart” models; with a clean eeprom it may not even turn on.

FYI, this is not a Smart model

I'm assuming the service remote didn't work?

I don't think so.. are you sure? my guess is another, original settings are stored in main memory, both current and default.. if the boot software finds empty eprom it rewrites it.

Putting all FF to the settings eprom is not harmful because main sw rewrites it with default stored in main flash ic..

Yes, but you will lose everything: serial numbers, regions, MAC address....

With the tv on you press “info, then factory” it should pull up the service menu

I will try that later today when I am in front of it. Thanks so far.

I added a picture of the service remote i used that did not work.

Re: Samsung LED TV Model UA49N5000AR (Flipped image)

Try the service remote or if you have an old android phone with ir blaster you can download an app.

I believe you push (menu, 3speed) to enter service menu. This is a master service menu and differs from the one you were trying to use

Using the service remote, when i press "Factory" the tv set says "Not Available"

Re: Samsung LED TV Model UA49N5000AR (Flipped image)

Hi Storyteller12,
Are you saying i push the menu button 3 times in succession quickly? Would this be in standby mode?

No, it's a button labeled 3speed. I made a mistake as you push
info then 3speed button
