Hi
Had this tv for just over 2 months now

Tv had been working fine for say 3-4 weeks , no issues.
Then one night i fell asleep watching youtube via the tv app ....when woke up at 11.50pm ...the tv was not on the youtube app ...it was on the screen where it says hdmi / xbox not connected ...and screen was going on and off with coloured lines across screen is certain areas ....and also the home bar or whatever its called was on the screen ...so shut tv down and put back on again and youtube would not work.
So reset tv and apps and all was fine.
A week later while playing my xbox , after tv had been on for say 5 hours ...i had same sort of issue where screen went off for say 2-3 seconds , then back on , then off again with coloured lines ...and might do this a few times ...sound still coming out of sound bar no problem.
Tv was ok after that , so few days later it happened again , late at night ...so thought maybe xbox , so tried different hdmi lead , moved xbox , moved one connect box just incase was getting hot ....but happened again a week later .
It was only seeming to happen on my xbox ....besides the first time.
So had xbox apart , changed thermal past , changed settings in xbox as other recommended on net...but happened again few days later.
Well been fine for 4 days ...so thought issue has gone , xbox running fine , no screen turning off issue.....until last night.
Got to say 11.30 ...watching youtube ...and the issue happened again...so not xbox .
Sounding like issue with tv panel or one connect box .
I have checked for any updates and non out at mo.
Looked into another connect box , but at £200 for second hand one ...i thought i should not be spending that if under warranty with company i bought it off on ebay .
I have had a look in the factory settings mode for any errors , but no idea what to look for... is there anything i can do to help pinpoint the issue?
I heard the fibre optic cable can be an issue and have made sure its not bent etc ...all looks good.

I looked in the menu to check hardware , test page or something like that and all basically check out sept CPU, says failure.
Ram etc works fine ......dont know if suppose to fail on cpu test or not lol

Just trying to get to the bottom of this as starting to become a pain.

 

Any help most appreciated

Anyone have any info on what one connect boxes can be used on my tv ?

 

I want to get another box so can use tv and send original box in for repair .

Once get original back and all is good then can sell the one i just bought.

 

Played up again last night , just a couple of black screens but then was ok all night .

On normal tv channels ....its never had a problem , just on Youtube app and xbox one x .

 

Any help most appreciated
