Samsung LNT4071F Blue light won't go off: Has anyone experienced a problem with not being able to get the blue light to go off above the on-off sensor on the front of the flat panel?

Some TVs don't allow going into the PlugNPlay menu. According to Samsung chat support, try pressing volume button on TV, then hold MENU for about 7 seconds. The word Dynamic should show up n the screen. If you press Info, the ShopMode will disappear.

I find it interesting that this question came over my email a few days ago and I had also started having issues with my monitor too. For a few months when I turned on the monitor it would start going through the menus on its own sometimes changing the settings. More recently when I turned it on it would light up to start and then turn itself right off. The monitor worked pretty well for me up until about four months ago so it looks like once it passes a certain age or level of use it just stops working for some people

Yes, if I recall correctly, I believe the blue light ring can be turned off. I'm pretty sure about that.

I realize this answer is very late, but in case anyone else has this problem - there's a button to turn the backlight on and off, it is off by default. If it doesn't have that button I would suggest returning it directly to Amazon and ordering a new one.

I sent ours back because it wouldn't turn on. in my case the sensor might have been too far away to pick up a signal as it was on the second level outside a window. Anyway, it was sent back so I'm sorry I can't answer that question about yours not turning off. May be defective?

I saw this hint in comments about another light. It fixed mine. Try tapping the body of the sensor with the power off.

I did have that problem. However, there's an alternate method of turning on and off the light by twisting the front end. I twist the front end a little bit so the light is off which does not allow it to be turned on using button on the rear.

Unplug it, wait a minute or two and plug it back in. I had this problem as well and it was happening a lot, so I returned my tv for a LG...great move, no problems since.

We've been experiencing it off and on for about 6 months. Two nights ago, it was really bad...today...its not there. It comes and goes. In our case its a blue stripe. We've seen it whether its coming from the cable box or bluray player. I haven't played with it too much, so I don't have a pattern of what it does and how to defeat it. I'd like a comment from Panasonic. Our TV was 5 years old at Christmas.

If the blue light at far left - the power light - does not light up then the unit or its cable is probably defective. But, if it is on but not the light for your device, then be really sure the device is plugged in firmly. I had this problem and thought something was wrong, because the light for my DVD player didn't come on. But, when I removed the HDMI plug to the Kinivo and "firmly" inserted it into its receptacle, voila, it lit up and worked.

I thought the same thing but i realized there was a blue sticker over the light. Try taking the sticker off and it should work

I just disconnected the blue LED. It's pretty simply. Pop the control panel from the front, not sides... GENTLY! Watch out because the filter reset buttons will just fall out. You have to unscrew another housing underneath the control panel to get to the light. I simply snipped it off with wire cutters and re-assembled everything. Works fine.

It's never been an issue with me either. The unit functions perfectly and i have it on the 3 minute setting which seems to over-ride the light sensitive switch.

Man, I wish I could help. I know mine automatically turns off when I turn off my LED TV so they are somehow synced already. I never did anything special when I set it up. I have a Samsung TV. I don't know if that makes any difference at all. I'm also using all HDMI. I'm thinking maybe it's the configuration of how your system is set up? Please do update when you figure it out as I'm getting ready to purchase a new TV to hook up with mine and I might just have the same trouble.

Leave light turned off with the switch for 5 minutes. Turn back on and set to Automatic as normal. Blue light will come on and flash about every 30 seconds or so. When it gets dark, the Blue light will turn to Green, light should then turn on for about 45seconds or so, then go out if nothing is telling it to stay on. Any sort of movement will turn it on or keep it on. I had a similar problem with mine today. They would not turn off. Found out that some birthday balloons in front yard were moving just enough to keep the motion sensor tripped to on. Good Luck Gary

If you unplug the optical cable from the Yamaha and see no light it's an issue with the tv if it's lit up it's the settings on the Yamaha. I've had no issues with my optical out, only wish it was easier to access that portion of the menu
