Samsung HT-WX70 home theater system turns itself off after a few minutes of use. Brand new, worked fine for about two weeks, now this ****. Face displays "Good Bye" then powers down. Tried unplugging for awhile and reseting by holding the stop button on the receiver while the unit was off. No results.
My unit said "protection", "goodbye" so I opened it up and found a capacitor to one of the speakers had blown, right by the fan. It's a 35 cent part and a simple solder job. The hardest part was getting the face plate off the dvd tray so I could get to the circuit board.
Hmm, great support forum. No highly paid representative has a solution?
I figured it may be a faulty fan that keeps the unit cool. So when it gets hot it just turns itself off. The company should have sent out a recall if this was the case, for I have heard multiple complaints with the same system. I will do some more research and see if I can find a solution for the rest of you guys also.

Same here. I have had it for a month and now it will not stop going into stand-by mode after only a few minutes. Anyone willing to help?
Yes, same problem here. Worked fine for a few weeks and then turns itself off automatically. I think it might be getting to hot, so I made sure its getting plenty of air, but still happens.
I have the same problem how to fix it?
I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy. I've tried everything: holding down the "stop' button for over five seconds while the power is off; unplugging for an hour; making sure that it is extremely well ventilated; nothing seems to work. I even checked to make sure that the speakers are properly connected according to the manufacturer's colour coding!
My unit worked fine for 3 months, then started to turn itself off after 2 hours of use and every 20 to 30 minutes after that.
I bought the Samsung HT-WX a few months back
It started to cut off by its self a couple of days ago
It flashes FAN CHECK a few times and then it cuts off
The unit is well vented
I need help for a solution for prob or did I just waste my money
