Portable Hard Drive intermittent error discovering it

I have an LG65UR80006LJ and when I plug my portable hard drive in to one of the USB ports, it lights up and sometimes the thumbnail folder gets added by the TV (I can see it when I plug the drive back into my PC) and twice now it has operated as expected and it appears as a device on the media app.

But it has only worked correctly twice and now doesn't find the drive at all, despite me having reformatted it and only add one file to the root directory (the first page if this makes sense; not buried in sub folders.)

Before I box the TV back up and send it back, is there anything else I need/can do as my 12 year old Philips smart tv has no problems what so ever finding the drive and playing the media on it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all, 

Thanks for the replies and my apologies for the delay in responding.

It turns out the TV was defective as I did everything LG said, but no luck, so returned it to the store, had a new one delivered today and it recognised the hard drive immediately, although it did then say it need to be formatted and asked if it was drive a or b, so i selected a and it then completed the formatting and I was able to access the media on it and play it.

So problem solved; defective TV.

Glad you found the solution

For others, note that I had a similar problem very recently with an older TV, 2 years old

Drop out of connection to hard disk

I tracked it down to a faulty cable connecting the drive to the TV
A new cable for $3 and all is fine again

      User agreements won't load, server error
      By Muser
      Hello,
      I regently got the LG 43UF6409 and have been pretty happy with it so far.
      When I tried to open netflix or the LG conten store, it's starting to load the user agreements- those could not be loaded due to a server error(loose translation from german). If I retry to load those, it does not load either.
      I've reset the TV to factory reset and it gives me the same error. It's connected to the wifi, shows me that it is connected to the internet but still won't load the user agreements.
      Also tried to look for software updates (it's 3.20.40)- if I try to look for updates, it could not find any.

      WebOS TV "satellite LNB short" error
      By leader6234
      Hey guys !!!
      I have a UHD UJ634v  LG webos Tv  that lately an error message pops on the screen staying : Tv signal has been lost due to the satellite LNB short.Check LNB connection"
      This is really getting on my nerves because I can't get any signal even after resetting the TV or even updating to the last  software version.
      I check my cable line and fixed every possible problem. The error message keeps showing up even after disconnecting cable line from the back of TV just as if a short circuit or something has happened inside the Tv.
      Do you think that'd be software or hardware failure or something else??? How to fix it?
      Please help me out with this cuz all my lovely satellite TV channels are gone 😐
      Here is the actual error message on the right top o the screen 
      Thanks in advance !!!

      How to get recording app to recognize correct drive?
      By Nooneuno
      Our tv always needs to have the recording volume reset... the problem seems to be that the formatted disk has a small boot partition, about 150 mb, plus a 4 GB "main" volume, and the recording app "sees' the boot partition, and won't "hold" the setting for the main volume...
