My 6 year old Samsung 60" wall TV lost its picture this AM. Now I know it is not a cable issue because there is sound, and I can change channels. Just there is no picture. Even if I try and take it off of cable input to to TV input to look at the menu, I can the screen is blank.
So the problem is resolved one or the other. Unfortunately the easy solution is not so easy.
1) Unplug the TV at the wall, and hold the power button down to reset it for about 60 seconds. This according the all on the internet resolves 2/3's of this issue.
2) Screen is gone, need new TV,
The problem with #1 is this TV was installed as I moved into my house, brand new. And I had Best Buy's Geek Squad install it. The issue, the wall brackets are so tight, I can't unplug it at the wall!!! I mean I can unplug the cable box and stuff, but I cannot unplug the actual TV. Has this happened to anyone else?
Am I going to have to take the TV out of its brackets just to unplug it for 60 seconds???
