SAMSUNG UE43TU7100KXXU Smart tv is dumb

redarmyblues

I recently had one of these delivered and I am having issues. It can take up to 20 attempts to cast my W10 laptop to the TV and the laptop needs to be rebooted nearly as many times, if the attempt does nor cause the laptop to freeze I get a message saying the attempt to connect failed, please try a mobile device which infuriates me further because my phone has never been able to mirror to the TV. I have installed Smart-things and I can use the smartview remote on my phone to turn the TV off or adjust the volume, there is no option that I can see to mirror to TV. Any ideas? I emailed Samsung and the mail bouned back as undeliverable.

Hi redarmyblues,

The only thing I can think of trying would be a factory reset and a software update.

If you get nowhere with that let me know and I can see if I can get a direct number for you for Samsung!

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards

Win 10, go to settings, display, multiple displays, connect to wireless display - if you're on the same network the laptop should see the tv.
You'll see aprompt on the telly to allow connection and connect.
Are you doing it that way? Works on my samsung smart tv

My laptop can see the TV and can connect to it occasionally but most of the time it doesn't.

2. Step 2: open Support. ...
   
3. Step 3: open Self Diagnosis. ...
   
4. Step 4: select Reset. ...
   
5. Step 5: if needed, enter your PIN code. ...
   
6. Step 6: confirm the reset.

I have done the factory reset and checked for a software update and now I cannot detect the TV at all with my laptop when I try to use the TV as a monitor, it will detect the TV and play audio through it but I cannot cast to the TV from my laptop or my phone either for that matter. If the issue can not be resolved can I return this TV, please? The ability to cast was fundamental to my requirements when I was picking a TV,

Hi Redarmyblues.

It does seem like there is an issue as it should be really straight forward to cast unless there is an issue with your network or internet speeds.

If you have the original packaging then please rebox it and include all the accessories that came with it. (Failure to include all accessories, remotes, screws etc can lead to a delay in any refund.)
We can then get our courier to call and collect it from you.

As the 43TU7100 is currently out of stock I would not have a replacement to offer but a refund woudl be no issue.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Kenny thanks for your prompt reply, I have fibre and my network is functioning fine so its not an infrastructure problem. Luckily I kept the box and hopefully, I can get it packed up tomorrow. This is a pity because I really liked the TV, I am shopping with you for over 20 years and haven't been let down yet, great service always.

Hi redarmyblues

Can I ask if you have rebooted your broadband router have worked in IT infrastructure for over 12 years and I have got people with strange issues fixed with a simple reboot of the network router even though everything else works on the the network perfect and the one device giving issues.

Hope its just as simple as this.

Thanks
John

Hey Redarmyblues.

Let me know when its packaged up and I can arrange the collection.

If you want I can place another order for one for you and once stock arrives ship a new one out to you.
Finger crossed a shipment is due week starting the 7th.

Of course a full refund is also an option.

Hi Kenny,

I am going to pack it up tomorrow, when can you collect it? I don't fancy another Samsung and would prefer the refund please though I will check those what other TVs you have in stock.

Ya rebooted the router a number of times recently due to an issue with my BB provider, the problem I have is a  Bluetooth one and only casting video to the TV.

Hi jhud,

let me know what date suits you for a collection and I can arrange it for you.

were you able to speak with Samsung to see if they had a fix for it or know if it was a known fault?

Can you also send me a photo of the TV in it's packaging with all parts and accessories as we can't accept a TV back if it is missing any of the packaging/accessories.

Kind regards

David

Hi jhud,

Thanks for that, we require the photos to make sure the TV is packaged well for shipping and also to ensure that it is complete as we are unable to accept it back damaged or missing parts.

Let me know if you have any further queries!

Kind regards

David
