Q70R fading to black after power on

[flurians]

Hello all.

I have had this 55” Q70R for just over a year with no issues until last night, when the screen faded to black, as if the panel had been broken. 

Since then, the TV has been stuck in a boot loop, with the screen ‘burning out’ as soon as the UI appears. I am led to believe that the issue is not related to the panel as everything is fine for the first few seconds.

I have tried the obvious - unplugging etc, to no avail. Has anyone else had experience with this issue?

I have uploaded a video of the issue here. 

Regards

I believe this is a main board fault, use samsung support to arrange a board replacement repair for you if within warranty or use the website for authorised repair centers for out of warranty repair.

I have seen this  issue on the qe55Q60R using AUO screens (Version 2)

Hi, did you resolve this issue or did you just get a new TV? 
my QLED 55” started doing the same recently and Samsung not interested so I’m looking to fix myself. 
Thanks
