Re: Screen flicker with RPi2 and Samsung large TV

The blackouts were happening all over the interface, not only during playback. I went to the store and I got it replaced altogether. Turns out it was a faulty unit, because now everything works flawlessly. The guy running the store told me 2 or 3 units returned before with the same symptoms, so it m...

Re: Screen flicker with RPi2 and Samsung large TV

As a matter of fact, yes, I already tried that, as drgeoff pointed out. After everything I've tried, I concluded that my Pi is faulty and I'm going to get a replacement today.

Screen flicker with RPi2 and Samsung large TV

Hi, guys. I'm basically dead tired on fiddling with this problem. Let me start with the beginning. I got myself an RPi 2 (the one with the quad-core CPU) for my media center project.
