the power adapter light is on but the projector itself won't turn on, no lights, nothing.

— asked by Jamie

Quick answer: Either a faulty connection between the adapter and the projector, or the internal power board has an issue.

Diagnosis

Either a faulty connection between the adapter and the projector, or the internal power board has an issue.

How to Fix It

First, check the proprietary magnetic connector. Unplug it from the back of the projector, inspect for any bent pins or debris, and reconnect it firmly until it clicks. Try the power button again.

If That Didn't Work

Perform a hard reset. Unplug the power adapter from the wall AND from the projector. Press and hold the physical power button on the projector for 30 seconds. Reconnect everything and try to power on.

Heads Up

Only use the official 65W Samsung adapter. A third-party charger might provide enough power to light the adapter LED but not to boot the projector, causing this exact symptom.
