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

[scotchbaz]

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.

Samsung is deleting all links to the group in FB and to the firms, Samsung begins to censor to take advantage of this, it is a company that we should not trust.

In fa ce bo ok look for the group with the name "Falla Global Samsung HT-J5500, J5530, J4500 Blurays/Global Failure Samsung"

Thanks for solution.  Contacted Samsung via webchat and as per solution Samsung said it was a known problem and have arranged to collect unit and if problem is found to be power cycling issue, they will repair free of charge. I've to expect a call in 24/48hr for date when unit will be uplifted.

Have to say I found the chat live! system very efficient. Support person was working from home. She was very helpful.

Hey everyone. 

Just received an email from the repair center saying they have replaced the firmware/software and all test are passed.

Was all organised simply through webchat and has been a thoroughly simple process throughout. 

I am lucky the UK support has been so very good for this issue. 

Will post again when I receive it back.

Hi MadPat

I received an email from RepairTech about 15 minutes ago, confirming receipt of the unit and saying that it will be passed to an engineer shortly for assessment. Did you get an email like this? How long afterwards did you get confirmation that the repair had been completed successfully?

Thanks

Chris
