TV Started Sparking

[bmccorquodale]

  I've had my Samsung QN65Q65FNF TV since October 2018.

While I was watching YouTube this evening I heard loud popping noises and saw sparks coming from the back bottom left of the TV, then the TV went to static, then completely black. I ran over to inspect and make sure nothing was on fire and I could smell the burning plastic smell. Everything else that was plugged into the outlet was still powered on, but the TV was off. I also own a Samsung 4K Blu-Ray Player which uses the same power cord as the TV, so I tried swapping the power cords since I knew that the Blu-Ray player still worked and there doesn't seem to be any power signal to the TV since it's still not turning on. 

Help me 😞

I had the same issue this week. Was there a resolution?
