TCL 65S450F no logo, bleeping sounds?

[CapLeaker]

wow... yours TCL are working but just GPU out , either it can pick IP if you connect it to yours Router... so plug it in router and read the IP of it from inside the router.. and let assign same IP each time it plugged in LAN,

use on PC ADB ..
adb connect yours TV IIP after that keep presst OK on the RC as you cant see.. to be sure its connected to ADB

adb devices it should show server started

adb reboot it will let the TV reboot

adb reboot recovery hope yours recovery will come on

I know it is polling an IP address from the router. Problem is the TV is starting something every 12 seconds or so and there is a bleeping sound. It isn't fully rebooting but it seems the TV is trying something and failing. It's the weirdest thing on a TV I ever saw. It is there, but yet it is not accept anything besides an IP.

I tried one more last ditch attempt with this board and did following:
1) reflowing it / No go
2) found 3 TCL groups on Telegram, one of it is a bot. I have to say that this TV wasn't in their list. However they were saying that the update file should be update.img, not V999.img. Tried that, no go.

The only thing I haven't done is to put a TTL on the main board and see what's happening. I don't think there will be anything fruitful coming out of this. It's just another week for the replacement main board to arrive.

keep yours stick as normal fat 32 mbr mode and put the end file on it in format v999.img be sure urb pc showing file exertion format.

I did keep the partition at a FAT32 MBR 4GB. Extracted the zip and pushed the V999.img to the stick which filled it almost up. The TV reacted almost the same when I tried the small file. However the outcome is always the same and results in a loop of some sort where the TV makes a bleeping sound every 12 seconds or so with the backlights on and nothing on the screen.
Since the firmware update the TV took by itself, I never seen anything on the screen. For shits and giggles I checked out the LVDS again for another sanity check, Same as before, nothing on the LVDS.

Maybe try another usb drive.

Thats strange, I'm just using firefox. I also have an ad blocker.

Me too. Firefox and ublock

Diah Well... same thing. Reformated the drive to 4GB (FAT32) and put that V999.img on the drive. Plugged the drive in and did a reset on the tv. The USB blinks a few times and the TV goes into its usual bleeping loop thingy. After a while, the USB drive ends up with a couple more folders and that's it. Still haven't seen anything on the screen.

any result of the firmware mater??
if nothings good i could delete mega link as i did just for your set

I just got home and downloaded the 2GB file from Mega link no problem. I guess I need to resize the partition of the 4GB memory stick? Right now the partition is only 1.6GB. I'll try it tonight when its quiet and the house calmed down a bit.

I understand it very little but looks like it kind of harkens back to when kings ran things, I'd call it dictatorship. Canada=constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. monarchy and dictator mean the same thing, ran by one person. I'm sure its a whole lot more complicated than that but it boils down to the same shiit we have down here...ours is a SYSTEM that is corrupted by some probably many politicians and a few billionaires making deals behind closed doors and with each other. I know what would be a good start, term limits, we have them for president but nothing else, that's f&%king stupid, wonder who made that law/rule. The way they get these laws passed is they hide them in other shiit when it's time to vote, I consider that a criminal act. Like the bill might be about say not locking old ladies up just because they're old, way way back on page 1,233 will say this bill will not allow term limits for politicians, its just SICK.

Well thats majorly effed up, looks like we're not the ONLY country that needs a revolution. We still get cheap shiit from china but is it worth it, they burn a shit-ton of coal each year, that they admit to, each year to make it, it's choking the planet and people to death. Those people are so strange, if they all die from black lung...who's going to be left to spend all that money

simple… Canada's problem is protectionism. There is so much red tape one way and the total disregard and or the lack of the other. Government setting the cart in front of the horse, throw shit at the walls and see what sticks. Deal with the fall out later.

I can't count that high but it looks like 21.5 BILLION tons.

LOL... its full .img... however i uploaded after rename it to V999 on mega unzip and use it ... service 5 stars

heres the math 90 exajoules equals 21510516252.3903 tons: https://www.statista.com/statistics/...il-equivalent/

I know china isnt the only coal burners BUT they are the biggest user by far.

[nomoresonys]

problem with Canada is that we are taxed to death. Duty for this, tax for that, then you need a broker... another fee. A lot of times if we Canadians buy from the states, by the end everything is said and done, it costs double what the price actually was. Lithium batteries are the worst. Go to Mouser, Digikey, Allied etc. None ship those little lithium batteries to Canada. I tried once with Allied 6 years or more, and the shipping was a whopping US$80! For a coin cell battery with tabs on it! All because it had to go UPS ground and special shipping etc. It's nuts.
China stuff isn't cheap here anymore either. Our government did really great the last 9 years making sure every Canadian is getting hoodwinked.
