HT-J4500 home cinema, cycling on and off repeatedly.

Although I've had it a good few years, never having a problem with it, my home cinema system is throwing a fit. It seemed to start when the blu ray/ dvd drawer wouldn't fully extend. I gently pulled it and inserted the disc and it seemed to work okay. The next day, when I switched it on, it now cycles through "LOAD", "No DISC" repeatedly, even when trying to use "D in", "AUX" or any other setting. I've disconected the drive from the rest of the unit, no difference. I've reset the unit whilst it was in stand by mode, nothing. It's not dirty inside, all very clean looking. Anyone know what's going on... Please help.

I've looked over the net all to no avail.

Same here, good luck.

It would be good for someone from Samsung To weigh in… Just saying.

I'm in West Yorks. Tried the reset, but it didn't change anything.  We haven't had any thunderstorms either.  Really bizarre.

 

I was blaming the kids originally!😁

Are you in the UK too? If this is lightning I may be able to claim on my home insurance, and we had a big storm yesterday...

No reply on Messenger support account but it says there might take a few hours.  Just tried tweeting @samsunghelpuk suggest you do too...

Looks as though it’s an international issue. And for all these to go down at the same time, I’d say that Samsung have some explaining to do.

I'm in the United States (Albany NY area).  My system was fine when I turned it off at 8PM.  When my wife turned it on at 9PM, it started the cycling.  This was on 6/17/20. 

 

This smells like a firmware failure.
