Solution
To resolve the situation where your Samsung Smart TV becomes extremely hot within minutes, a systematic approach is essential. First,
isolate the incident — was it triggered during a specific task or app? If yes, uninstall the app or avoid that function temporarily. Check
system logs or device alerts for any error codes or warnings. Updating drivers, especially graphics or firmware components, can resolve
performance and thermal issues. Run diagnostic software if available on your device. Next, verify that the power source is consistent.
Faulty power adapters or surges can induce shutdowns or display faults. Also, inspect external hardware such as keyboards, USB devices, or
HDMI cables for faults that might cause system confusion. If your device uses active cooling, ensure vents are clean and fans are
operational. If basic troubleshooting doesn't help, consider a controlled system restore to a known stable state. And if your warranty is
valid, professional service is strongly recommended to avoid compounding the problem.
