My Samsung TV will turn itself on occasionally. There are a number of possible reasons. Google it.

This repeats itself with a TX11S connect and disconnect constantly repeating itself. We have tried unplugging both the TV and cable box but that only works till we turn off the TV again. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix our possessed TV?
Thank you.

I have a Texas Instruments TI-30SLR solar calculator that is 40 years old. It has no removable battery, and it still works fine.

No outside light is required. LED lights will keep it charged.

Our LG does almost the same thing. First thing I tried was settings and looked for auto ON/OFF. Both were set to OFF. TV comes on at various times of day and night. Removing the batteries from the factory remote did not help. It's not connected to a cable box. So when we’re going to be away for a full day I unplug. Lg tech support was no help.

There is of course a possibility your TV has failed. Electronic wiz bangs can fail when new. If, you have another TV that you know is OK, you can switch them and see if it solves the problem.

What is this “Infinity “ you speak of. New one on me:popcorn:

We too have a Samsung TV that randomly turns itself on. Tried everything to figure out why. We just live with it.

Sometimes a smart arse response is just that.

Try resetting the Samsung smart hub

Samsung TV issues

I have a Samsung TV... bit older than a 2021 model but it frequently turns itself back on to some "Samsung" channel.... I will not be buying another Samsung TV ....

We had a similar situation with our Samsung TV. We would turn it off and it would come back on my itself. We had another issue with a different Samsung TV where it would disconnect from the HDMI and we would have to reset it. Samsung blamed Xfinity and Xfinity blames Samsung.

I am DONE buying Samsung TVs… Go with Sony or LG.

Possessed TV

Probably this will not help, but our TV did the same thing. We had a big surge protector on it and it turned out the protector had failed. We bought a new one and all was well. So do you have a surge protector?

Tv on and off

Our LG, the same.
Found that when the batteries in the remote are about gone, the TV will come back on when turned off, the channel guide comes on, etc.
Try putting new batteries in the remote.

happens to me sometimes. I turn it off and it goes off then turns back on. I turn it off again and it sticks.

The program that was on was the channel I was watching when I went to bed. In the morning when I got up and turned on the TV it was on a different channel. We have a Samsung TV and Xfinity. This happened once before in the middle of the day.
Freaked me out a bit to wake up to voices in the living room when there shouldn't be anyone. I did investigate with gun in hand, glad nothing serious was happening.

depending on who was in the movie/show, i'd use that pistol! :1rotfl::boxing2:

I had a similar problem, the TV would go off and on repeatedly. A friend suggested pressing the power button on the TV for 30 seconds. It solved the problem.
