This exact same thing happened to my Samsung 50 inch UN50J6300 today. So lucky i came in from being out, if i had been delayed, it could have been a fire.
There was smoke, and a strange crystsal’y looking spot in the bottom left corner pf the samsung panel, then screen was black, then weird lines, then black again. I went over to look at the spot and touched the corner - it was so hot, i completely cooked my thumb and fingers, it was incredibly hot, and i can see it is all melted too. It felt more like an electric shock than a regular burn.
This is nutz - now i see online that this is a known issue. So very dangerous, this could have burnt down my home. I got real lucky it did not happen while I was still away from home.
I did get a few years out of the tv, but still. When you buy an expensive tv, you don’t expect to replace at so soon, or for it to cause a fire hazard.
i am hoping samsung can look at some kind of replacement scheme, this is a pretty nutzo situation. It seems to be a major fault with lots of examples of it occurring, i can’t believe I was not contacted regarding this known fault back when I first purchased it. That does seem negligent on part of the company.
please get back to me as soon as possible.
Thanks.
Tim
