Are the USB ports continually powered after the unit is shut ff, or power cycle with the tv? curious due to setting up an ambient light system.

I only have one usb port on mine. It is powered with the power switch, goes on and off with the TV.

same thing happens if you use the TV's USB power, it turns on when the TV does. Takes about a minute to boot up. Buyer beware though, these things suck, mine broke after 2 weeks

Sorry I don't really know. I have a habit of always just unplugging it as soon as I'm done so its automatically on next time I plug it in. Lol

No problem dude! Its powerd by the USB port! You dont have to plug it on the wall

I don't have any problems with mine. The TV may draw too few electricity to keep the controlled outlets active. Try with a different appliance such as a table lamp on the main. If that fails then you may have a defective unit.

DO you mean USB or cable or plug for power??ALso, I been having issues with the quality of the picture on the screen when I connect my dvd player, or camcorder to the TV. THere is sound and picture, but it is terrible. Do you have this problem also?

Yes. Mine is in standby mode until the TV is turned on I switch to Bluetooth mode to play music from my ipod. The power light is not on all the time, only lights momentarily when something happens such turning on the TV or switching modes.

I assume you are talking about charging the unit, and if that is the case then J. Young is correct. You cannot seem to utilize the device while it is plugged in and charging. Another thing is that when it is charging the LED flickers all wacky like when it is on. Not a bad thing, but worth mentioning.

I have not experienced this problem with my TV. My TV is plugged in all the time and comes on/off each time I press the power button.

When mine was going out you could hear the color wheel humming and the TV would randomly shut off. Also when you powered it back on the screen would show a quick cycle of colors until it warmed back up. Hope this helps!

I have not had an issue. I have had this for a couple of months now and have only charged it a handful of times. We don't use our HTPC for everthing but it does get daily use. I turn it off everytime I am done doing anything. When mine goes to sleep I have to turn it offf and back on anyways. So it's just easier to turn off everytime I input what I need. Maybe you just got a lemon. Hopefully this helps.

I have several I have used with it but all are powered. the only devices I have used that draw their power from the ports are memory sticks and they have worked without issues.

I have to agree that this sounds like your lamp is gone. I'm expecting this to happen to my TV soon as well. I'm now into my third year and the lamp does have to be replaced periodically. Since you have sound but not picture, it doesn't sound like a source problem.

Do you have it powered by a USB port and do you have the switch on the side set properly

yup i have the same issue apparently its cause of the tv drawing lot of power dur to its fast start up . try plugging it in to the wall direcly ie with no other devices plugged in. i also notice that it only happenes if i have had the tv off for a while eg over nigt and not if it turn it off wait a few mins and turn it on so it must be some thing with the power. i would still call samsung and see whats up.

If you are using the USB3 port, I am not surprised. If you are using Windows, the power saving suspend mode needs to be disabled. This may be what is causing the shut down.

There is no 'switch' to turn on the USB. Plug the cable into your device and it charges. I do not know if there is an 'internal switch' of if power is always available. However, in regular plugs the power is always available and only when the appliance is turned on and the circuit is completed is power used. I also do not know if the 120 to 5v converter is using power even when the USB is not being used. Electricians?
