And if i'm not mistaken you can find the samsung repair shop if you go from Ramada signal towards hamad hospital, take the right from that hamad signal and somewhere before Rumila hospital you'll get a right turn, drive slow just as u make the turn u'll see a Samsung outlet there. No idea what that street is call but its well known for Badriya hotel. Anyone?

You should have known the difference before plugging it in...

p.s. It's 50" and not 50' (50' is 600" or 15.24 meters)

There should be a built-in high voltage protection device; get it checked with the repair shop.

Open up the back - there should be a fuse on the power supply board
