Overheating too fast.

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.

    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.

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.

I got ahtx-40 and after running for a while it displays protection and the power goes off. helppppppp!!!!!

I have the same HT-X40 home theater as you do, and my problem seems similar to yours. It'srelated to overheating. First check the fan and air flow from it. Ifit's OK, the problem can be inside the unit. In my case one of theoutput filter capacitors got broken - it had a crack on its body.Replacement of the capacitor fixed the shutdown on protection.
Anotherquestion is what damaged the cap. Preliminary I consider placement ofthe capacitors as a possible problem - they are too close to the outputinductors which can get relatively hot even at normal workingcondition. For details you can check:http://craftsman-hambs.blogspot.com/2009/09/samsung-home-theater-ht-x40-shut-down.html

Cannot play DVD's or CD's at all!

Wow, doesnt sound good. My only thought is that on new devices they often have tape and cardboard inserts to protect the device for shipping. Make sure there isnt any tape or packing material stuck somewhere in the device. Otherwise it must just be a bad player. They shouldnt have any problems exchanging it since you just got it. Good luck!
