Meaning

smart-tv error SMA-11959 typically appears when services dependencies are misconfigured or locked. Most fixes work best when applied in order: stabilize the baseline, isolate the trigger, then apply one corrective action at a time and verify the result. If the issue returns after reboot, treat it as recurrence: look for background services, update windows, policy changes, or storage/network instability that reintroduce the same failure.

Common Causes

  • services dependency mismatch
  • Corrupted system component
  • Permissions or policy conflict

Common Scenarios

  • Error appears during services workflow after update.
  • Issue repeats after restart when background services load.
  • Failure is isolated to admin-level operations.
  • The issue appears right after a system update while applying package changes for SMA-11959.
  • The error is triggered only for administrator actions and service startup flow on smart-tv.
  • The failure repeats after reboot because dependency files are still locked by another process.

Quick Fix

Quick path for SMA-11959: - Free some storage space, then retry. - Clear temporary cache/state for the failing component. - Disable non-essential background apps/services temporarily and re-test. - Restart the related background service and dependencies. - Check system logs for the first error before the failure. - Restart the device and retry the exact failing action. - Confirm date/time and time zone are correct. - Verify baseline connectivity (switch network if possible). Stop conditions: - Stop after the first step that fixes it. - If it only fixes temporarily, continue with Advanced Fix. - Use Related Errors to compare adjacent signatures before doing destructive resets.

Advanced Fix

Advanced recovery for SMA-11959: - If possible, test under a clean profile/environment to isolate profile-specific corruption. - Repair the broken dependency chain, then reboot. - Inspect scheduled tasks/agents that race the service on startup. - Validate core component integrity and repair corrupted dependencies if found. - Reset the failing subsystem to defaults (keep changes reversible). - Apply pending updates, then reboot and re-test. - If the issue started after a change, roll back one change at a time. Verification: - Re-run the exact failing action twice (not just once). - Reboot and test again to confirm stability. - If it returns only under load, re-test with background tasks enabled gradually.
