Ok so I have been getting the error code

Error_Model_Blind

for 5 days now which means I cant use any apps ect.

I have tried doing a factory reset which did not help, I have also checked the connection which is fine. I read about doing a firmware update but I cant find my model on the Samsung website to do this

My model is UE40ES610

Can anyone help I need my Netflix hehe

When I search on the Samsung site it suggests models as variants of
UE40ES6100WX__
Should be on the back of the tv.

I don't know about the hardware.

Alternatives: Get a chromecast stick to view netflix; connect your laptop to the tv; connect a long hdmi cable from your pc to the tv

Done a quick search and the 'error_model_bind' error seems to happen when the Samsung Smarthub servers are down. As you have had this problem for 5 days, this explanation seems unlikely as it would probably be more widely reported if the servers were down for all smarthub users for that length of time.

Have seen on a couple of forums where the problem was fixed by manually setting the date and time, so this may be worth a try.

Failing that, I would try to log the problem with Samsung customer services.
