TV does not turn on instantly

Problem:

TV does not turn on instantly

 

Solution:

Check power source and connections - Ensure that the power cable is securely plugged into the wall socket and the back of the TV. Also, check other electronic devices connected to the same power strip or outlet to confirm they are functioning properly.

Reset the TV - Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and try turning on the TV again. This resets the TV's internal settings and might resolve the issue.

Update firmware - Visit the Samsung website to download and install the latest firmware update for your specific model. Follow the instructions provided and restart the TV after updating.

Inspect external devices - Disconnect all devices (cable box, gaming console, etc.) from the TV temporarily. If the TV turns on quickly afterward, one of the devices may be causing the delay. Reconnect each device individually to determine which one is causing the issue.

Contact customer support - If none of the above solutions work, reach out to Samsung Customer Support for further assistance.
