Hello beautiful electronics people. I have on me a 39" Samsung LED tv. The tv appears to not turn on properly and I shall explain to the best of my knowledge what is happening.
Upon plugging in the tv, I hear the Samsung start up tune. It's that tune most of the newer samsung tvs have.
Then the standby light blinks 6 times.
The tv shows no picture after that nor any time during this "boot" process. I've held a light up to the screen during this "boot" to see if it could just be bad backlights but do not see anything onscreen.
I will also note that after the boot process finishes if i use the singular button underneath the standby light will flash, almost seeming to be recognizing input.
I've tried holding the button in to see if i could reboot the tv but the light just constantly blinks.
I've read online where someone had the same tv where they had it blinking 6 times and it was related to a firmware problem after someone messed with the service menu.
I've opened the tv and found no obvious signs of damage to the boards.
If this is related to the firmware, does anyone know of a way to possibly factory reset the tv to clear the settings?
If it's not that, what are the next steps I should take?
Thanks everyone for reading and to everyone who helps contribute
