If your Samsung TV is stuck on a blue
0:02
screen, has sound but no picture, or
0:04
keeps showing blue patches on the
0:06
display, it can be incredibly
0:07
frustrating. The good news is this is a
0:09
fairly common issue, and in many cases,
0:12
you can fix it yourself at home. In this
0:14
video, I'll guide you through simple,
0:16
safe troubleshooting steps that actually
0:18
work. No tools, no technical skills, and
0:21
no risky screen repairs needed. To
0:23
quickly narrow things down, you can even
0:25
try a simple phone test by recording the
0:27
screen. If the blue screen shows up in
0:28
the video, the issue is likely with the
0:30
TV itself. But if it doesn't, the
0:32
problem is usually coming from an HDMI
0:34
cable or external device. Let's start by
0:37
giving the TV a proper power cycle. Turn
0:39
it off completely and unplug it from the
0:41
wall. Then wait about 10 to 30 seconds
0:43
so temporary software glitches can
0:45
clear. Plug it back in and turn it on.
0:47
If the blue screen remains, try a soft
0:49
reset using the remote by pressing and
0:51
holding the power button for about 10 to
0:53
15 seconds until the TV restarts. This
0:56
often fixes minor system bugs. If that
0:59
didn't help, it's time to rule out
1:00
connection issues. Check every HDMI
1:03
cable connected to the TV and make sure
1:05
nothing is loose, bent, or damaged. Try
1:07
switching the cable to a different HDMI
1:10
port or replacing it if possible. You
1:12
can also go into the TV settings and
1:14
toggle options like HDMI UHD color or
1:17
input signal plus off and back on as
1:19
these settings can sometimes cause
1:21
signal problems. After that, disconnect
1:23
all external devices such as gaming
1:25
consoles, cable boxes, streaming sticks,
1:28
and USB drives. Turn the TV on by itself
1:31
and see if the blue screen disappears.
1:34
If it does, reconnect each device one by
1:37
one to identify which one is causing the
1:39
issue. Next, let's check the software.
1:42
Go to settings, open support, and select
1:44
software update to make sure your TV is
1:46
running the latest firmware. Updates
1:48
often fix bugs that affect picture
1:50
output. If the screen is completely blue
1:52
and you can't see the menu, don't worry.
1:54
You can still update using a USB drive.
1:56
Visit Samsung's official website on a
1:59
computer. Download the correct firmware
2:01
for your TV model, copy it to a USB
2:03
stick, and plug it into the TV. In many
2:06
cases, the update will start
2:07
automatically and resolve the problem.
2:09
While you're in the settings, it's also
2:11
worth switching between picture modes
2:13
like standard, movie, and dynamic to see
2:15
if a corrupted picture profile is
2:17
causing the blue tint. If the issue is
2:19
still there, try a deeper reset using
2:21
the TV's physical buttons. Press and
2:23
hold the volume and power buttons on the
2:25
TV itself, not the remote, for about 15
2:28
to 20 seconds. On some older models,
2:31
there may be a small reset button on the
2:33
back or side of the TV that you can
2:35
press and hold for 10 to 20 seconds.
2:37
This will restore the TV to factory
2:39
settings, so you'll need to set it up
2:41
again afterward. Be careful not to press
2:43
on the screen or try opening the TV as
2:45
that can cause damage. Finally, if the
2:47
TV turns on, but the screen looks blue
2:50
tinted, or you can faintly see an image
2:52
when shining a flashlight on the screen,
2:54
that's a strong sign of a backlight
2:56
problem. No reset or setting change will
2:58
fix that, and it's best not to attempt
3:00
repairs at home. In this case, a
3:03
certified technician or Samsung service
3:05
center is recommended. This video
3:06

3:09
