Samsung SlimFit power up problems

[General Taylor]

Hi all....have a major problem here and I wondered if anyone had run into this or heard about it before. I browsed through the general slimFit thread, but couldn't find anything pertaining to it....anyways:

I purchased a Samsung SlimFit TX-R3079WH about 3 months ago. I've been very happy with it, with no problems thus far. Then 2 days ago, I go to turn it on in the morning and it won't turn on. It makes the powering up sound (the little cell phone like ring), and sounds like it's turning on, but no picture or sound comes up, and then it restarts, trying to power up again (with the power up sound again).

I have had no problems with the set up until now. I was watching it the night before, turned it off and went to bed, and in the morning, it wouldn't turn on at all.

I have a technician being sent out to me, but they won't be here for over 2 weeks. I was wondering if anyone here could shed some light on my problem since I really don't want to have to wait 2 weeks just to have a tech take a look at it. I've heard about a "service mode" but I don't know how to access it.

Anyways, any help you have would be greatly appreciated.

Call samsung back and tell them the servicer gave you a 2 week delay which is unacceptable. Ask them to provide another servicer that can come out sooner. Are you in a major metropolitan area?

[General Taylor]

Yeah....but of course, when I say 2 weeks, I just mean that 2 weeks was the closest day I was available. I work all day during the week, so the tech needs to come out on the weekend, and that the closest weekend they could come out is 2 weeks away. Otherwise they could be here on tuesday.

Did you try unplugging it for a while than plugging it back in

[General Taylor]

Aye....left it unplugged for almost 6 hours. Could it be benificial if I let it unplugged any longer?

[General Taylor]

Anyone else have any idea's, or am I going to be stuck for at least another week without my set, waiting for the tech.

Does anyone know if the SlimFit's have a history of powersupply problems? The girl over the phone suggested that was most likely the issue here.

SlimFits are known for their geometry problems. I've never heard of a power supply problem
