I have a T5 that behaves the same way, but only on 1 of 3 tv's I have.It only does it on my panasonic, not on the 2 LG's.If possible, can you try it on another tv in your house?In my case, Tried all the ususal:module,power supply hdmi cable,different tv inputs,ect, but it was always the same on the Panasonic...2 second blackouts several times an hour.I think it's an hdmi handshake issue between the T5 & the Panasonic.Worth a try if you can.As per software, the 0106 is the latest & best.Use it.You won't lose your server data on the software upgrade, but you will if you install the factory bin.

I turned off cec on the TV was told to try and so far no black screen flashes
Have a fan I will try tomorrow for cooling
thanks for the fast response

For My T5 I have a set of these:hxxps://www.amazon.ca/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1FJC8CFLA4KFC&keywords=usb+fan&qid =1673728078&sprefix=usb+fan%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-6

Keeps my Box Nice & Cool no Heat Issues, can place them on top of box Blowing/sucking air in/out.

i also have a fan installed and use a 5amp 12 volt power supply and have the handshaking feature turn off on the hdmi port and never have a problem. the T5 will live to see another day and many more

How do you turn off the handshaking feature?

It is a function of the tv or home theater receiver, or both.It will be labelled CEC function

That's one of the Reasons I shy away from Panasonic & Sony Equipment, Both Company's tend to input
their own signature/software into their Stuff, basically forcing you to use their equipment to be compatible
with each Other etc.

All these years I thought it was my receiver and low and behold that fixed my problem. Thank you

what the noof said CEC feature. just look for something that says that or look it up in your manual for your tv.

on samsungs it's called anynet+

Anyone know what its call in a Sharp Aquos TV? Or is it just CEC, I'm not at TV to check right now.

Cut'n paste:
Where is CEC setting on Sharp Aquos TV?
Press the Menu button on your Sharp TV remote. Select System Options. Select AQUOS Link Setup. Set AQUOS Link Control to On.
...
HDMI CEC:
Go to the settings menu. ...
Select All Settings.
Select General.
Select SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC).
Set SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC) toOn.

This is also happening to a friend of mine but he can't find CEC or SIMPLINK anywwhere....Would it be called anything else on a new 2022 Samsung tv?
