What to do if the screen is blank on my Samsung BD-F5100 Blu-ray Player?
- R
  Robert CarterAug 19, 2025
  If the screen is blank, and the HDMI output is set to a resolution your TV doesn't support (like 1080p), you might not see a picture. To fix this, or if you are still experiencing a blank screen, press the button on the front panel for more than 5 seconds without a disc inside. Note that all settings will revert to the factory settings, and all stored user BD data will be deleted.
