Nice to meet you, *****!
Have you checked the batteries in the remote itself?
Customer Reply
There are no batteries - this is a new TV and it is solar powered. It is fully charged.

Understood
What troubleshooting have you done so far?
Customer Reply
After the artwork comes on, it stays on for approx 3 minutes and then the TV automatically turns off.
I have also unplugged the power cords, disconnected and reconnected my wifi, plugged everything back in again. Same problem keeps happening.

Please let me know if you see any buttons on the lower side of your TV?

No it is a Samsung Frame.

That's helpful, thank you.
You mentioned your remote does not work, could you provide more details on this? What happens when you click on Home button?
Customer Reply
Nothing happens when I click any of the remote buttons, except the on/off one. Normally, the home button takes me where it should but no buttons appear to be working.

Please try to press and hold the power button on your remote until the TV turns off and on again.
Customer Reply
OK I pressed the on/off and the TV turned off. Then I pressed it again after a few seconds, and the tv turns on again. But none of the other buttons work.

No, you should press and hold the power button until it restarts itself, press and hold for 5 seconds

Also, when I turned the TV on again with the on/off button, a small screen message appears on top of the picture saying “not available”.
Ok, I held the button until the tv turned off, and kept holding it down. But nothing further happened, the TV just stayed off.

Ok, turn it on again, please
What do you see now?
Customer Reply
I have turned it on again. I see the artwork page.
It is stuck on one picture for a while, then it moves to the next artwork picture. But I think that’s normal.

To switch between TV mode and Art Mode, press Power on the OneRemote. The motion sensor detects any movement and will automatically turn The Frame on or off.
Customer Reply
That isn’t what’s happening. I press the Power button and nothing happens. If I hold it down the TV switches off.

And, the “not available” message keeps appearing each time the TV comes back on.

Please unplug the TV while its on for about 5 minutes, then plug in back it
Let me know the results, please

Ok. Done that now. Not seeing anything different unfortunately.

I see
Please check your TV again, there should be a button behind the TV screen or under the front panel of your TV
Can you locate it?
Customer Reply
Checking again
Peter Davis
Peter Davis Tech Expert & Writer
sure
Customer Reply
Ok. The button is the same little square thing that has the on/off light. It had a tiny button behind it which I had to feel around for. So I pressed it and it seems to have reset things as the TV has come on again. Is that what you expected?
Peter Davis
Peter Davis Tech Expert & Writer
Yes
What settings do you see there?
Customer Reply
It looks like normal now, it seems to have reset itself when I pressed that little button.
Peter Davis
Peter Davis Tech Expert & Writer
Ok, so now the TV is working, right?
Customer Reply
It sure is. Thank you very much for your help. And sorry to have been so dense about it. I haven’t had this TV for very long and it is the first time this happened.
