| Samsung Blu-ray players suddenly shut down |
Thousands of online users around the world have reported that Samsung's Blu-ray player, home theater and home theater system are facing serious problems that could make the device unusable and not help restore factory settings. Did not help.
It looks like all the problems started on Friday 19th June, around the same time as the first report appeared in official Samsung support forums (like Reddit and Twitter).
The problem depends on the device model. However, the most common problem seems to be that Samsung's Blu-ray player will restart automatically after turning on.
Other users have reported other issues, such as B. strange noise from the device. Even if the disc slot is empty, the disc will still attempt to play.
In other cases, the device turns off after a few seconds of turning on, while other users report that the device is not responding to commands or keystrokes.
The main cause of the problem is not clear, but some users think the problem may be caused by updating the firmware, but this doesn't seem right.
These problems affect many device models, some of which are out of date and not covered by the warranty. In addition, Samsung usually does not immediately send firmware updates to a large number of device models.
A more realistic explanation is that the problem is due to the expiration of the SSL certificate that Samsung Blu-ray Player uses to connect to the company's server using HTTPS.
Expired certificates are usually the cause of the major turmoil, and other large companies such as Facebook, Microsoft, Ericsson, and Mozilla have encountered such problems before.
