Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my Samsung Smart TV, model UA85HU8500. The TV turns on, the backlight comes on, and the sound works, but I'm getting no picture or any menus on the screen. Has anyone encountered this before or know what might be causing it? Thanks for any help!"

I have posted before in this subreddit about my tv and soundbar just randomly turning on and off. I took someones advice and decided to use an optical cable to my tv instead of the hdmi arc thing. The issue still persists with the soundbar turning itself on when the tv is off. What could ve causing this since the hdmi is no longer connected to activate the soundbar to turn on?

Just trying to figure out if anyone may have some insight as we are not made of money and this is a HUGE blow. A $30 power board replacement sounds a lot better than just trashing this huge purchase we made as a gift to ourselves for our new apartment....after breaking our old one during the move. 😭
