I'm experiencing the EXACT same problem as you with my 70" (model UA70TU7000SXNZ). TV would just be stuck at boot loop, blinking the red light under it twice and restarting itself over and over.
I've opened it after watching a few youtube videos showing the tape trick, and decided to try it. After many tries with the tape (different widths covering the ribbon cable pins), maximum I could get was half of the screen with image and the other half not working.
Then it was when I bumped into this post and decided to give it a try. Disconnected the ribbon cable, plugged the power cable, waited for it to boot it up, opened Netflix with the shortcut in the remote, and after hearing the typical Netflix startup sound (tan-dam!), plugged the ribbon cable. And there it was! The TV was alive, fully functioning with literally ZERO issues on the screen. Image crisp clear, no areas of the TV fading, missing, or anything like that.
@oldturkey03 I ask you, what do you think I could try to revive this TV? What options should I consider? I thought about buying a new ribbon cable, but do you really think that this would solve the issue, as the TV works fine after the boot?
