My samsung ht-x40 home theatre system keeps overheating even when i move it away from other elctronic devices and when i put it in well ventilated areas. I know its something wrong with the system itself. Is there anyway i can get it fixed? My warranty expired too.
There's a cooling fan on the back. Is it clogged up or otherwise not turning when hot? From Page 21...
Please observe the following cautions for your safety.
■ Make sure the unit is well-ventilated. If the unit has poor ventilation, the temperature inside the unit
may rise and may damage it.
■ Do not obstruct the cooling fan or ventilation holes. If the cooling fan or ventilation holes are covered
with a newspaper or cloth, heat may build up inside the unit and fire may result.

no thats not it i already cleaned the fan and made sure it was turning but it still heats up really fast and turns off :(
My system always cuts out after about 45 mins. when playing a DVD. It runs much longer if we are just using it for sound.
The fan on the back never turns, so it is overheating. I pulled the fan out and powered it with a small battery pack, the fan runs fine. It would seem something on the board is messed up as it never turns on the fan.
