help) LG tv area option for region change doesn't go back to CA/US from EU

[whaleandtuna]

Please Help. I have LG qned tv with webOS 23

1) What I did: with svc remote -> in start -> 0413 and all, area option was changed.

I was trying many numbers to find the code for KR (which didn't work).

2) What I wanted : change area option from CA -> KR (widely known area codes do not work)

Original code: CAD 22411

 

3) Problem: Once I put a number between 19461 ~ 19489, Language&Country is set to EU and would not change the country with the other numbers.

• Area option: 19461 ~ 19489
• Continent index: 5 ~ 33
• Language & Country: EU

 

Now I put 22411 to change it back to original region, but the country would not change from EU to CA, the area option is back to 19461.

If anyone is trying the area option numbers, don't put any number between them.

If any one knows how to resolve, please help me to escape from EU.. I am so desperate.

This is how geoblock works. you need a programmer for the EPROM and a cable to flash the required values

Hello, did you found a solution that doesn't require open the TV and edit the EPROM using a programmer?
