Bricked LG TV after automatic update 43UM7199PLB 27.10.2022


Question

Posted

I have accepted to update the TV firmware after being requeste many times by the menu. Big mistake!
After the update was finished the screen remains black, but the LCD screen is back lit so I can see it's started.
The magic remote has the microphone function and I can still search using the voice for youtube videos and the sound is playing.
o the TV is functional just I have a black screen

I tried after to run the update from USB after manually downloading this update: SW File(Version 05.30.11)
from 

link hidden, please login to view

No menu is showing, screen is still black
A folder was create by the TV and it contains a file
D:\LG Smart TV\TN\INFO

With this content:
{"INFO":"{ \"core_os_release\": \"4.9.7-11\", \"returnValue\": true }{ \"device_name\": \"k5lp\", \"returnValue\": true }"}

Any solution for me? Do I have to change the TV motherboard? I want a cheaper solution, not paying for a new motherboard in service.

My TV too.
After the update my screen remains black. Back light is on and the TV is working. I can start Netflix, play content, hear it, adjust volume etc, but not matter what I do, I cannot get it to display a picture at all.

I have tried soft resetting by unplugging it for 30 minutes, holding the power button for 60 seconds etc. Nothing works.

It's this TV. 
I can't even download a firmware to attempt a manual update.

Hello,
I was doing Webos 05.30.11 update on my Nanocell SM8100PVA when I saw your messages, I stopped it at 97%...
Have you been able to solve your problems ?

I don't know what is wrong with my tv.

The image came back for a day, then on day 2 the left side of the screen started dimming every few seconds, then full bright again.. but now with scan lines.

Now it's completely dead again :(

Have you tried to reset your TV to factory settings, and to call LG support ? an official patch shouldn't break the TV this should be covered...
Your description remind me a not compatible screen resolution or frequency...

I've tried everything.

Sometimes the image comes back, but only the right side of the screen.

I feel sorry for your tv, I really hope LG will fix your it.

If only it was not so complicated to downgrade firmware...

      I've just updated my LG 55UM75 TV to the latest software version - 05..20.15 - and now the picture looks off.
      I've turned off TruMotion, Motion Eye Care, Smooth Gradation, Noise Reduction and Smooth Gradation, but somehow everything still looks artificial.
      Is there another picture setting I'm missing, I've gone through every setting I can find.

      how can I fix lg soundbar model sn6y volume automatically going down after exactly 30 minutes if resetting, unhooking volume down button, drilling vent holes near motherboard, and running a cooling fan did not fix the problem.

      Hi,
      I believe it started to happen after last update - version 03.53.45, maybe the one before. After I quit YouTube app, TV will not get signal from HDMI settopbox no matter I try. Only solution is to unplug and plug back HDMI cable which is really annoying. Is it known issue? Is there any fix? I tried few workarounds, like disabling smart features and so on, but no luck.
      TV model: OLED55B13LA
      Example:
      Settopbox is powered on, TV is showing signal over HDMI, everything is fine. Then I open YouTube, after some time exit, switch back to HDMI input of settopbox and TV says no signal. I re-plug cable and then it works fine.

      Hi there,
       
      I have an LG smart TV OLED65G36LA (LG OS v03.20.17, webOS TV version 8.20.0-710) , and the Prime Video App was no longer able to update (from Dec 2025) and therefore could no longer be used.
      I have tried uninstalling the app and re-installing, and that was unable to work, so then applied a full reset on the LG TV and so had to reinstall all of my other apps (Apple TV, Netflix, etc etc) which all successfully downloaded so confirmed network connections and setup are all confirmed working.
      When I try to download the Prime Video app, it remains stuck on the download screen and is unable to update.
      Thanks
