Re: Problem with Samsung LE40R86WD
Well I guess this is where I stop this project and throw that TV away. (I'm in London if anyone wants that TV)
I've spent about 30-40 pounds now on tools and spare parts and quite a bit of time.
Thanks for your help!Leave a comment:

Re: Problem with Samsung LE40R86WD
Hi again,
I've replaced the EEPROM now.
The TV doesn't really work though,
It will turn on and start but without displaying anything on the screen. The backlight is off.
If I leave it running it goes to standby after a few minutes.
Accessing the service menu with info-menu-mute-power doesn't work.
Any ideas what the cause of that might be?Last edited by hanssome; 07-22-2013, 04:27 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Problem with Samsung LE40R86WD
Yes, I tried the steps you described on the first page (how to reset the EEPROM) with and without shorting the jumper.
Without shorting it, it just clicks and continuously restarts.
With the EEPROM shorted: I would plug it in, it would try to start and fail to do so. After a while it would click and go to standby. No matter if I pressed the info-menu-mute-power sequence or only the power button, it would only try to start but fail to do so and go back to standby.
But I've ordered an EEPROM and an original...Last edited by hanssome; 07-16-2013, 04:43 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Problem with Samsung LE40R86WD
Thanks for the answer, I got a replacement remote from a store nearby but it doesn't seem to work.
When the EEPROM is short circuited the tv only tried to start and after a bit of time it goes to standby again. It never displays anything.
The info-menu-mute-power sequence with the remote didn't work, not sure if it's the remote though.
I've ordered a new EEPROM now and will try to replace it when it arrives.Leave a comment:

Re: Problem with Samsung LE40R86WD
Ok never mind it worked at the 4th time or so.
There was no more clicking. And it just stayed in standby.
But I didn't manage to get into the reset menu. I don't have a control for the TV, only my HTC One smartphone which can act as a remote (but doesn't have the info key).Leave a comment:

Re: Problem with Samsung LE40R86WD
Hey everyone,
I have a LE40R86WD as well and it also has the "turn on / turn off clicking problem".
I saw that two capacitors are broken and replaced them.
But the TV still has the problem. When I plug it in, it only tries to turn on but turns off again immediately.
I've tried shorting the EEPROM (not with soldering two wires but by taping a wire against those two pins) but it didn't make a difference. It continues to turn on/ turn off.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!Leave a comment:
