*Newer Samsung TV models have parts with encrypted keys which lock parts to a specific TV set. Service personnel have to enter a passcode to "unlock" major parts when they are replaced, therefore requiring Samsung's permission and potentially restricting the use of second hand parts or even preventing repair of TVs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-03-26 |title=they won't win.
