Bought a Samsung TV off Facebook marketplace in January, still had the stickers on it. Now, it has trouble turning on. The power light just blinks on and off and it either takes 45 min to turn on or it doesnt turn on at all.

Is there somewhere locally that would repair something like this?

I would attempt warranty, but since I bought it off Marketplace I assume that will be too difficult to facilitate.

Otherwise, it works perfect when it turns on, so its hard to just scrap.

Maybe try to buy another power cord? Amazon for $9. Other than that, it’s time to scrap it and buy a new one.

Edit: Can you take the power cord off another TV and plug it into the shitty one to see if that works?

Do the warranty thing straight to them and PRAY the have mercy. Any other process costs more than a new one

TVs usually aren’t repaired anymore. They’re too cheap now. Just buy another, but go to a store this time.

What model? If it's LED you can probably YouTube it and spend a $100 or so to replace a couple boards. May Google how to reset it.
