Samsung LE32R87 spontaneously changing source!

[admin_exported]

I have a Samsung LE32R87 and have had it for 6 months or so.
Recently it's done a few odd things.

A couple of times it has switched itself on, and last night it changed sources a few times on it's own(I was playing music on the PS3 and it switched to the next HDMI source), and the menu has come up without anyone touching anything.

I thought it might be the remote so took the batteries out of that.
It did it again once they were out.

I have a PS3 plugged into HDMI 1 and a Virgin V+ box in HDMI 2.
There's a DVD recorder plugged into a Scart socket but it's powered off.

I'm baffled.
Is this a known issue ? or does anyone have any ideas or suggestions ?

Thanks for any light anyone might be able to shed on this.

Sounds like there's definitely a gremlin in the works. Weird! Have you spoken to the retailer you bought it from? Presumably it's still under warranty?

...you didn't take the back of and "give it a clean" did you?

Spoke to Samsung who were very helpful and said it had a slight fault and gave me a reference number.

Then spoke to Amazon who I bought it from. Or rather, their Indian call centre.
Oh what fun!
Long story short, they don't sell it any more so I have to "post" it back to them and they will refund me the cost of the TV, and (allegedly) the cost of the postage.
I am so pleased now that I bought it from amazon, really I am.

Might be worth speaking to Samsung again and explaining the situation. If you're lucky, maybe they'll swap it out for you (unless you want to buy a newer TV, in which case go for the refund!).
