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 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.

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????

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.
