SOURCE: i have a problem with my samsung tv

It probably is the Keyboard on the side. I've had this quite a few times. Simply pull off the back and unplug the side keyboard. It should be the last board in a chain of wires coming from the main to the IR sensor then finally keyboard. Unplug the keyboard and then plug TV back in and see if it stops, if so that was your problem, if not it will likely be your main board then. The TV usually can operate without the key board you will just have to use the remote for everything, but the keyboard is generally pretty cheap like $15.

I will assume you tried to unplug the set and plug it back in.

If you are using a sat or cable box connected to the cable fitting on the set try connection from the AV jacks to one of the video inputs on the set.

If set does it via the rear jacks it is likely the box and not the set.

SOURCE: My samsung le32r41bd keeps going up in channels on it's own, I can't stop it at all. Can anyone help?

Most likely a problem with the products manual control panel on the tv. one or more of the buttons are either stuck or corrupted. Find this part and you can fix the set.

What board should I check and/or replace to fix this?

Main system control memory IC fault. This is a very small IC; have 8 solder terminals, and can be located very near to the main system control-chroma IC. Check and replace it. Be sure to replace it with the same number printed on it; in all respect. Otherwise, it won't go. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

My samsung tv channels keep scrolling from 135

Hi Jorge

Check on the remote if the buttons aren't stuck / sticking then check on the side panel of the television if the button there are not pressing against anything.

Lastly check to see your channel setup is fine and do a auto scan for the channels to ensure that it's not a memory issue

At power up, tv scrolls uncontrolably through channels, power light flickers

1. Take remote control far away from tv - 3rd or fourth room. Then switch on tv. If uncontrollable scrolling stops , then cause may be remote button (Ch+ or Ch-) has got dirt inside and its shorting.

2. If taking remote far away doesn't stop scrolling then (Ch+ or Ch-) button on front pannel has shorted. Take a cutter plier and care fully remove button from its circuit board. ( If you know desoldering, it is far better than cutting). If scrolling stops then you can operate channel change with remote.

I have a Samsung LN32B360 LCD TV. It is less than 2 years old. Today when I switched on the TV, the channels started scrolling automatically in reverse order. It is not accepting the remote signal it seems...

Hello; Samsung thought it was cute to use "touch control" Circuit boards at the set for basic functions like power on/off channel up/ down etc , but they **** at the design of doing this. One function can be stuck on like vol up/dn or anything else. The set has a microcomputer in it that can only accept one command at a time. first take the batteries out of the remote to eliminate it as the cause. Most states have "fitness of merchantability law to protect you against this junk! call the state you are in for protection laws FIRST. If no help, open the TV and find the cable to the buttons at the set and unplug it to see if problem goes away.

Can`t retune samsung le 37 r88.

Updating the Channel List Automatically You can update the channel list when the broadcaster adds new Services or if you move the TV to a new location.

1. Press the MENU button to display the menu. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select "Digital Menu", then press the ENTER button.

2. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select "Channel", then press the ENTER button.

3. Press the ENTER button again, to select "Country".

4. Select the appropriate country by pressing the ▲ or ▼ button. Press the ENTER button to confirm your choice. Even though you have changed the country setting in this menu, the country setting for Analogue TV is not changed. (Refer to page 11 of the user guide)

5. Press the ▲ or ▼ button again, to select "Auto Store". Press the ENTER button. When it has finished, the number of scanned services will be displayed. The existing favourite channel list will not be deleted when the channel list is updated. To stop the scan before it has finished, press the ENTER button with "STOP" selected.

6. Press the EXIT button to exit. If the signal status is poor, the "No Service found! Check the aerial connection" message is displayed. Check the aerial connection and the try the procedure again

Turn tv on, and it scrolls through the channels

Had the same problem, channels would not stop scrolling.
It was as though someone had there finger on the channel up button.
Disconnected the sixth wire, starting with the black wire on the wiring harness for the front buttons, on/off, ch. up/down, vol. up/down, etc.
It works fine, no more unwanted channel surfing!!
