In October 2021 I had shared a blog post about how I repaired a Samsung UN55NU710DF Smart TV. Depending on the problem, I recommend owners, who probably spent hundreds or thousands on these TVs, attempt to at least replace one of the boards that seems to be the culprit.

Unfortunately, even with the released updates to Windows 11 (including 24H2) there are still several Drivers for these Mini PCs that are not native to the Operating System.

For the Smart-UPS, an application known as APCFix was created that helps reset the battery constant. For the Back-UPS, there is a method, but it is not well documented in the forums or easily […]
