Thank you much! I used it on my 5400 that I bought in 2012. It’s 2024 and it just started acting crazy. I really didn’t feel like buying a new system. Saved me $600.

Jan 2022 here... and this fix worked on my Philips DHT3514 that had the same problem. Love you man

Best tip ever and spot on video. First time ever for me to repair an electronic device and it worked perfectly. Problem solved in 10min and saved me hundreds of Euros. Thank you!

Had given upon my Samsung BD HT -E5500 until I saw yr KZread video today I followed yr directions and removed the smaller ribbon connector from manual touch digitiser VOILA! My HT-E5500 is now running normally for first time in a decade Thanks Craig

Great piece of info thanks.... My Samsung had exactly this problem and had been playing up for weeks. I wish I'd seen your film first before losing my temper and smashing the player to pieces!!

Glad to find this. I thought my Samsung home theatre was trying to drive me nuts! Looks like a common issue. No need to buy a new surround system. Thanks

I have a sumsung HT-E 5550 home theatre with bluray (Australian compliance), which has been randomly changing sources. I tried everything possible from software updates to cleaning and also on the phone for hours to Samsung support to no avail. The next step was to by a new pcb board online for 130 bucks, and or to the point of paying someone for repair or buying a new one which are pretty hard to come by since the introduction of stupid sound bars, Anyway I have since tried the advice on here for disconnecting the "digitizer" and guess what? It friggin worked !!! Have been interruption free now for 2 days (after changing sources every 5 minutes). Hopefully this keeps going and this advice can also help someone else in my situation. Thank You! Tecman, PRRROBLEM SOLVED!

I’ve got the same model and going to give it a go !!!! Awesome

This trick helped me fix my HT-E5500W model with the "changing source" issue. Called Samsung first but did not get any support since my unit is 6 years old. After disconnecting the "digitizing" cable connector, the problem was fixed but you always have to use the remote control. Touch control on the front of the Blu-ray player is no longer functional. But still, thanks for your assistance!!!!

This worked a treat for my old Samsung home cinema, thanks very much for taking the time to put it on youtube.

If you have the Samsung e6750 Wireless Bluray Home Theatre System and had the same problem as I had (VOLUME CHANING ITSELF AND TURNING DOWN AND HEARING A BEEP SAME TIME) then you can SURELY FIX THIS: 1) unscrew screws behind the case of BR, then clip out the edges and release the front panel . At this moment you would be left with 3 hanging connectors * 1 large in the middle and 2 little brown cable connectors on the right side margin. 2) if you remove BOTH CONNECTORS carefully as they can deteriorate and... that's it!, clip on the panel to the main unit and then put the screws in the holes TESTED ON MY UNIT. PROBLEM SOLVED 100%. NO MORE VOLUME DOWN AUTOMATICALLY , NO MORE UNWANTED BEEPS! Volume is constant playing at the value i chose.Thanks dude.

Thats what I am talking about! Samsung is just interested to sell you the next model and when you phone, they make you feel as if your model is so old even if it is only 2 or 3 year old that you should change. They did the same with me when my samsung tv broke after 2 years, I changed the faulty boards bought on ebay for 20 pounds and my 'TV has since worked perfectly for the last three years.

Cant believe Samsung have not solved the issue. Thanks for this as it worked and took me 3 minutes.

I have a SAMSUNG HT-E5530 DVD player etc. And I did this and it seems to work. Just to say to anyone who does this- that cable is not easy to remove. It requires a bit of a yank. I felt like I was going to cause damage but I DID NOT... so it fixed it. I didn’t have to remove the white long flat cable. Mine stayed in when I removed the front. Thanks very tech guy for this advice.

The cable shouldn't just be pulled. If you look at the white clip holding it there is a black strip on the left hand edge (as viewed in the above video). This needs to be pushed in towards the right - you will feel a slight click. This then releases the ribbon cable which now should slide out easily.

After following your instructions, how do you know the Blueray player is on? I’m trying to turn it on, but I cannot seem to do it. I’m also using the remote control, and it’s not changing sources nor turning on.

Hi surround speakers not working . the wifi unit doesn't connect to player, can we change wifi to wired connection by changing some circuit etc? thx

My husband and I literally just had to do this to our system. We bought it about 7 or 8 years ago and after some time it started changing sources on its own...super annoying. So we ended up taking it for repair under warranty. Now, some yrs later it started up again. The one thing I would suggest is instead of taking the front panel off just get a pair of eyebrow tweezers and slide the brown piece out. That idea just came to me as my husband and I were trying to take the from panel off..which by the way it’s difficult to do so and I was afraid of breaking it.

i have had this same problem twice in the last few years that i have owned it and came across something that suggested to take it apart and clean the sensor from the inside, which i did. it is on day three after doing that, and it has seemed to be the fix for it instead of disabling it completely.

I have a HTE7650E unit, I had the volume problem and took the ribbon cable from the front panel that were on the right side. Yours is a bit different from mine. Pulled mine apart and saw another cable that seem to control the Blu-ray, in- plugged and played music for over an hour and all seem fine now. I am sure watching movies will be ok. Now I discovered that one of the tubes go out after about 5 to 10 minutes and sound from right rear seem crackly/ static sound sometime.

Bought a 2nd hand (but still good looking) SAMSUNG BD-J4500 Blu Ray player. Front display is off and thus cannot use the remote to navigate. Did manage to watch a movie in the meantime. Held the "play/pause" button (on the player itself) in to hopefully try and fix. Player then reset, but is now the screen is stuck at "select a language for the on screen display". I've pushed all the buttons (all three of them) but no response. Now I can't even watch movies. Is there anyway to fix this problem PLEASE HELP.

Bottle Of Water. White ribbon band should stay connected as it is the one that powers the entire display and the power, volume buttons won’t work with out it. In fact the entire unit won’t work if the white band stays disconnected. Just leave the little brow ribbon unplugged and all should be fine. From now on, you should use the remote control to operate the unit.

if you don't have a touchscreen display, my trick will not work for you then. or you might have a new model which has one single cable to feed both the display and the touchscreen panel (digitizer) or else, the digitizer cable is located somewhere else. I d inspect thouroughly everywhere to identify any small ruban cable coming from the front display. good luck

So the ribbon connector on the motherboard does not get reconnected after disconnecting the digitizer?

The cable of the front touch screen must be disconnected!

I've had my player actually sent off for warranty repair for this stupid issue on the capacitive touch screen panel failure a few years ago and alas, the problem has reappeard. SO ANNOYING. Sometimes a dirty screen and high humidity can cause this issue by the way, but if you've cleaned it, buffed it with high count micro-fiber cloth and it still switches away, disconnecting the harness is a quick way to alleviate the problem as long as you have a Samsung remote. Simple yet effective.

That's not a fix. You just disable part of the system to stop an issue from appearing. On my player that doesn't even stop the annoying issue.

If u actually just take the ribbon off and wipe the contacts a little bit most likely it can work just qtip 99% alcohol wipe the lens then try n alcohol qtip fan wipe the dust gently and maybe just duster spray and voila should work
