Hi everyone,

 

Since the last OS SW update for webOS 23.2050 for my OLED LG TV 65C3 I have noticed a weird problem where the TV randomly shuts down by itself while watching TV, Netflix, YouTube … I couldn’t find a pattern when and how this happens it seems to behave like this randomly. I

t’s like.a SW crash behaviour memory leak or something (just an assumption).

I mention this is not the energy saving auto power off feature.

Have you guys encountered such issue?

Hello Dinoc, I am also a user of a LG C3 65OLEDC3. I have recently upgraded to 23.20.50 like you. Everything is working fine. Except that sometimes there are some short interruptions on different streaming platforms like Netflix or Fubo or even Youtube. BUT the TV is not rebooting. The worse is that recently I got a kind of 30 secondes retro feedback on Netflix and Apple TV (I mean, I was looking at the TV when suddenly it went back to 1mn ago in a series). No SW crash, no rebbot ... Could i be a fiber issue ?

Information about the reasons for turning off the TV (due to problems with the equipment or a normal shutdown with the remote control) is stored in the logs of the TV service menu. You can look there and evaluate what causes the shutdown. The decoding of the codes is here:

Hi, Vladimir,

 

So I need a special remote to enter the service menu? I only have the LG Magic remote (I don't see any in-start button there).

Hi BozaB, did you also upgrade to a recent webOS version just after the C4 installation ? You can check that in the setting (wheel) menu from the magic remote. You can also see if you have notifications to ask you some actions (like updates).  I suggest that you update to the latest version that you can (for the c3, this is the 23.20.50). I don’t have it for the C4 … Also, I only have 2 devices connected to my LG Tv (a box and a sound system). I suggest that you disconnect some of these devices (one by one) and check if you still have the issue.

I haven't resolved the issue, the local service support asked me to reset it to default and monitor, did it but it does the same thing, randomly resets itself while watching Netflix, Max or Youtube.

I tried the service menu but I couldn't understand it was not able to see the reason for reset.

Yes I updated to latest update, unfortunately after few days of trying everything I can think off, I called customer support, and it turned out if you believe it or not, I bought new tv with factory broken motherboard.. Thank you for the help.

I contacted the local LG service center and they changed the motherboard for the TV (under warranty), hopefully the new one will work fine.

      G1 OLED unwanted spontaneous poweroffs
      By Nick Payne
      We have a 65" G1 OLED set. Lately (like the past couple of months), at irregular intervals while the set is on, it will power itself down without any input from the remote. Happens maybe once every two or three days. Powering it on again using the remote always brings it back to life OK. Unsure whether this is a hardware or software problem, and can't see how I could determine whether it's one or the other. Any suggestions? The TV is current with whatever the lastest level of FW is - I just checked in settings and was told there were no updates available.

      LG 2025 OLED Earns Eco-Certifications for Sustainable Design and Reduced Carbon Footprint
      By News Reporter
      Recognition Highlights Company’s Commitment to Environmental Responsibility and
      Carbon Reduction for a Better Life for All

      SEOUL, April 9, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has once again been recognized for its dedication to sustainability and eco-conscious initiatives, securing globally recognized eco-certifications for its 2025 OLED TVs. These achievements reaffirm LG’s commitment to environmental responsibility and the development of advanced products that contribute to a more sustainable world while reducing its carbon footprint.
      For the fifth consecutive year, LG OLED evo TVs have received Reducing CO21 and Measured CO22 certifications from the Carbon Trust,3 a global climate consultancy advancing a zero-carbon future. These certifications evaluate a product’s environmental impact, including carbon emissions, throughout its entire life cycle – from manufacturing and distribution to usage and disposal.
      LG OLED TVs excel in these rigorous assessments due to their self-emissive technology, which eliminates the need for a backlight, reducing component count and overall material use. Furthermore, LG OLED TVs incorporate ultra-light composite fiber materials, reducing weight and plastic use. For example, LG’s 65-inch OLED evo TV is 20 percent lighter than conventional LCD TVs of the same size and uses 60 percent less plastic.
      As a result, LG anticipates reducing plastic consumption in OLED TV production by approximately 16,000 tons in 2025 compared to an equivalent number of LCD TVs. The company also expects to lower carbon emissions by 84,000 tons across manufacturing and transportation – equivalent to the CO2 absorbed annually by a 30-year-old pine forest the size of 11,000 football fields.
      New for 2025, LG’s latest OLED TVs have earned Resource Efficiency certification4 from Intertek, a globally recognized testing and certification body. This certification follows a thorough assessment of material efficiency – covering recyclable design, reduced use of harmful substances and ease of repair – as well as energy efficiency and the incorporation of recycled plastics. By meeting these stringent standards, LG’s commitment to sustainability has been formally recognized, highlighting its dedication to environmentally responsible design.
      In 2024, LG incorporated approximately 30 percent recycled plastic in the production of the company’s TVs, recycling around 6,300 tons of waste plastic. In 2025, the company plans to increase its use of recycled plastic to 50 percent, expecting to recycle approximately 7,700 tons of waste plastic annually.
      “With a strong commitment to sustainability, LG OLED TVs provide exceptional picture quality and advanced AI features within an eco-conscious design that minimizes carbon footprint throughout the product lifecycle,” said Baik Seon-pill, head of Product Planning Division at the LG Media Solution Company. “Innovation and environmental responsibility go hand in hand, and we remain dedicated to protecting the planet while supporting a better life for all.”

      1 Carbon Trust Reducing CO2 certifications received by the 83/ 77/ 66/ 55-inch G5 models, as well as the 83-inch C5 model.
      2 Carbon Trust Measured CO2 certifications received by the 77/65/55-inch C4 model.
      3 Only applies to listed products sold in markets/regions participating in the Carbon Trust’s labeling program.
      4 Resource Efficiency certification received by OLED evo M5, G5, C5 and B5 models.

      Latest software update broke HDMI on my LG OLED G2?
      By OliverRC
      Up until a few days ago my TV and AVR have been working perfectly since I bought it.
      Zero hassles with HDMI and connectivity.
      Then I was prompted to update to the latest software version which I did and now often when I switch HDMI (running on 1) it picks up the device name, CEC works but I get “No Signal”… and then nothing.
      Just stays on “No Signal”. It is almost as if some HDMI handshake breaks and now the driver is in a broken state.
      I’ve found that if I hard power off and power on the device sometimes works but I don’t want to do that every time especially since it’s hard to get to the power.
      This really strikes me as a software issue with the latest update as absolutely nothing else has changed in my setup.
      I’ve tried:
      Different HDMI cables (high quality) Deep colour settings Reset the TV to factory default Different HDMI ports TV
      Model: OLED65G26LA / OLED65G26LA.HFBQLWK WebOS TV Version: 8.3.0.2301 Software Version: 13.30.56 AVR & Devices
      Marantz SR5015 Nvidia Shield Pro PS5
        The setup is the conventional AVR installation as shown in the attached file

       
      Has anyone else experienced this? 
      Is it possible to revert the software update?

      Company Reinforces Its Unrivaled Leadership in Premium TVs

      SEOUL, March 12, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has reaffirmed its dominance in the premium TV market, leading global OLED TV shipments in 2024 with over 52.4 percent of the market share. For 12 consecutive years, LG has commanded the global OLED TV market, continually enhancing the TV experience with audiovisual excellence and AI-powered personalization, embodying the true essence of OLED technology with perfect black levels and enhanced brightness.

With the market expected to exceed 50 percent this year, LG is committed to driving innovation and maintaining its leadership in the OLED TV industry.
      As demand for larger screens continues to rise, the number of ultra-large OLED TV shipments has also increased, comprising 16 percent of the entire OLED TV market. LG remains at the forefront, dominating the market with a 57.5 percent share in 2024 for OLED screens of 75 inches and above, including a compelling selection of 77-inch, 83-inch, 88-inch and 97-inch models.
      Backed by over a decade of OLED innovation, LG is set to introduce its latest OLED TVs, featuring advancements like wireless transmission of audio and visual content up to 4K 144Hz with no latency or loss in quality, AI-powered personalization through webOS, and superior picture quality with enhanced brightness and perfect black levels for a truly exceptional viewing experience.
      Global TV shipments reached 208.8 million units last year, marking a return to growth after three years, with OLED TV shipments rising 8 percent year-on-year to 6.07 million units. Additionally, LG’s total TV shipments across both OLED and LCD models reached 22.6 million units last year, representing 16.1 percent of global TV market revenue.

      Why is my LG TV SmartShare (Media Player) program randomly changes to Sharing OFF on Windows 10?
      By wallyricks
      I have owned a couple of LG TV’s over the last 8 years, with the current one being a high-end 77” model.
      I am still using LG TV SmartShare (v.33) as my “Media Player” v2.3.1511.1201 for my PC– which was last updated in 2015 but it is still compatible today.  As proof, my latest TV is now 11 months old and I have had zero issue (until you see below).    
      link hidden, please login to view My PC setup is: Windows 10 Pro (with all latest updates) and a TP-Link Archer BE19000 (BE805) router.    NOTHING has been changed on my router, TV (no updated or changed firmware) or any equipment moved around in the last 4 months.
      Up until about 3 weeks ago, everything ran just fine.  The SmartShare program was always defaulted to have Sharing ON, upon start of it, which is always when Windows boots).  However, about 3 weeks ago, the SmartShare PC program has started to randomly change its status to Sharing OFF.  I would then have to go into the program, manually change it to ON and then it works anywhere for 30 minutes up to 20 hours, and again, randomly change the Sharing to OFF.
      I am an experienced PC user, and I am very sure that this has nothing to do with my WIFI because it’s not a dropped connection or random TV not being found.   Something is happening inside Windows 10 that is triggering this status change.  And it never fluctuates back to Sharing ON by itself.
      Being so frustrated, I actually updated the Router to the latest firmware a few days ago, but this problem continues as before.
      As an experiment, I installed an alternate Media Server program called Serviio.  One can also see that when my Sharing changes to OFF, the two green lights turn red.
      Anyone have an idea of what can be happening after nearly 8 years of not experiencing this?       I am guessing that Windows is triggering some “Service” to stop running, but what can it be?
