We are currently experiencing problems with our Samsung TV (3yr old) in
that it will switch on, making its start up tune and shows a text
pattern type screen but within a couple of seconds it turns off again.

Do you have any ideas what this could be as other sites have indicated
it to be a timer setting problem which sounds odd because i cant get
into the menu to check the setting as it keeps turning off.

Cheers,

Scott

It's probably the system controller detecting a fault and shutting down
the set to prevent further damage. You should get it looked at by a tech
to diagnose the problem.
