i went in service menu and changed tuner,now tv doenst work

by SSBROLY - 11/22/12 9:51 AM

my tv le40b651t3w ,i went in service menu and was changing the options in the tunner 1 at a time to try and catch tdt.then i went in 3rd option i think its called sec-t (not shure). I shut down the tv has i had done before in the first 2 options but this time the tv never turned on again.i press the power button and i hear the starting sound of the tv but then the light starts flashing red and the tv shuts itself down.then powers itself again and shuts down over and over again.my question is there a code that i can restore service menu settings or just make the tv turn on?all i see is black screen now...any help?

http://www.4mysamsung.co.uk/search.pl?query=le40b651t3w+&x=0&y=0 found a few bits but I was looking for the service manual like I find at samsungparts.com.

Without that manual (I don't have it) you may have to check with those that have it.

Another sad story about service menus and my advice is to stay out of them. You can read the same story with other make TVs so what you are saying is you should never buy a TV that has a service menu.
