What to Do If Your Samsung Blu-Ray Player Has Stopped Working
If your Samsung Blu-ray Player doesn’t load properly, you are not alone. According to numerous error messages from users around the world, Samsung Blu-ray players get stuck in the boot loop and cannot be used. This post from Samsung support forums illustrates a problem that most users face:
My home theater system is failing. It seemed to start when the Blu-ray / DVD drawer didn’t slide out all the way. I carefully pulled it out and inserted the disc, and everything seemed to be fine. The next day when I turned it on, it now cycles through “LOAD”, “No DISC” even when trying to use “D in”, “AUX” or any other setting. I disconnected the drive from the rest of the device, no difference. I reset the device while it was in standby mode, nothing.
Other users from the UK, Portugal and other countries told similar stories .
