I know I'm going into obscure territory here, but the Google has not coughed up any interesting cookies for me to munch on. So I thought I would try the community and see if anyone here has suggestions.
I have a Samsung 460PXN TV we use as a monitor in our lobby. Lately one of the cooling fans has died, so we replaced all three. They don't use the best bearings in the unit, so it's only a matter of time before they give up the ghost.
The problem now is even with new fans in place, the monitor still displays a "check cooling system" message, which floats around the screen. This is sub-optimal! The TV's manual is less than helpful as it just says
"If the"Check Cooling System" message is displayed on the screen, this is because the cooling fan has a problem. Contact a service center to repair or replace the fan."
Thanks, Samsung.
I figure there's one of two issues at play here. 1. There's a flag in the monitor's software that needs to be reset after the fans were replaced. 2. It doesn't like the new fans. The new fans are quieter, which means they run at a lower RPM. It's possible that the OS sees this and thinks the fans are going to fail soon because they're not at top speed.
Does anyone have experience with this sort of item that they would care to share? Ideally I would just like to disable the message. If all else fails, I can order up a new set of fans, install those, and see if that makes it happy.
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
