    Philips 55pfl5766/f7 Software crashes

    I received this tv stuck in a boot loop and was able to get it working after letting it sit and reboot several times. Whenever I try do things in the settings it will crash back to the main screen, lock up, or reboot itself. I tried doing a Reset on it and after it rebooted nothing was changed. The Google account used was still present, and the downloaded apps were all still there. I can sometimes get further into settings such as setting up my wifi, not most times it will crash and reboot. I even manually removed the Google account and it CAME BACK after rebooting the tv. Before it rebooted one time it popped up a message about Storage being low. Yesterday I was away from home and came back to it powered on and stuck on the Androidtv loading screen.

    I've read that the last update to Android 11 messed up a lot of these TVs. I can't seem to find any firmware for it online. If I could find it, I would try flashing an older build. Anyone have this model or a similar one that they've encountered these issues with and possibly resolved?

    Attached is a pic of the software information.

      I'm not sure which number it would be, so I've attached a picture of the sticker.

        try hard reset , unplug it from wall socket for 1 minute.... press the joystick and pull it down... keep it in theis position... plug the tv back to wall t, release the pressing you did only after the front LED change color from white to green.... leave it it could reboot 2-3 time even you can hear start Melodie of first setup.

          I will try this, thank you. I press in the joystick and pull it toward the front of the tv, correct?

              sorry this method will not work on your set, you need to do it from recovery.
              1- at setting go to the page of were you show it the info,,, at build inf click on it 0-10 time to enable developer option, go to to the developer option and check USB adb. connect your set with yours router and remark the IP address... from PC which it should connected to same router you can run ADB .
              adb connect XXXXXXXX ( yours TV IP )
              after it connected send
              adb boot recovery

                I tried getting into settings to enable ADB, not any time I press a button on the remote the tv freezes or reboots. I had an idea to remove the batteries and put them into an old Magnavox remote I have.. Sure enough the Magnavox remote works the tv AND while using it the TV isn't freezing or rebooting. However, I still cannot remove the original Google account saved on it, and likewise Reset on settings does NOT reset anything.

                I'm assuming this means the software is still corrupt, and it doesn't play well with it's own Bluetooth remote especially.

                Edit: nevermind that, it's back to rebooting again even with the other remote. I guess I have to try and get it back to where it stays on and functions so I can get it connected to the PC.

                    I got it connected but it's not entering recovery like expected.

                    When I send the adb reboot recovery command the tv reboots normally right back to the home screen. I tried twice and it still doesn't enter recovery.

                      It acts like it's stuck in a READ ONLY state. No changes are saved after rebooting. Wi-Fi connection, account, even Developer Mode gets reset after rebooting the tv.

                        the best things right now use TTL adapter to capture the boot Log to know what are going inside..

                          I unfortunately don't have one of those or the knowledge of using it. Looks like my only option is to buy a replacement main board and hope it's not updated

                            then try to log in SAM press fast “062596”, directly followed by the “INFO/OK” there you will see if there are error buffer register and option to clear them.... to get out from SAM press exit

                            and also you have other Option Factory mode you can make hard reset and clear operation hours etc... from the “menu/home” press “1999”, directly followed by the “Back/Return” button

                              What is SAM? Do I do that from the Home screen as well?

                                  Anyway the fault is between the soldering of BGA chip set, has it EMMC chip or tsop48 nand flash?

                                      I attempted to enter those codes but the damn thing won't stay on long enough to do anything now. I can barely get the home screen to load before it reboots. I'll try it again later.

                                      I'm skeptical to buying a replacement board too because the chances of this happening again seem pretty high given the widespread failure after the last update.

                                          by spice_disc
                                          I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                                          The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

                                          Philips 46FPL8605 reboot sometimes
                                          by Modelvincent
                                          Hi,

                                          I'm still having a problem with my philips 46FPL8605 TV.

                                          It works correctly most of the time, but sometime, the screen goes black, the ambilight led do some scrap, then after some seconds the audio shutdown and the TV restart.

                                          After that, my freebox pop says me that the HDMI has been disconnected.


                                          This is not a temperature problem, sometimes, it appears just after startup, sometime after 1 hour. Sometimes it reboots 1 ou twice in 4 hours, sometimes it's 4 time in less than than 1hour...

                                          Lenovo IdeaPad S145 boot when cold than crash after feew minutes

                                          I received this laptop, which initially boots into Windows normally, but after a few minutes, the system freezes with no display and no response except for power button. When this happens, power consumption rises to about 1A (without the battery connected), and the CPU becomes noticeably hotter compared to when the machine is operating normally.

                                          I have already tried removing the additional RAM module, which initially showed some promise, but the issue persisted after a reboot. I also attempted replacing the BIOS, but this did not resolve the problem.

                                          When the system crashes,...

                                          Philips 43PUS7506/12 - Loud blown out sound
                                          by aidanmo
                                          Hello,

                                          I've got a really strange issue with the speakers on my Philips 43PUS7506/12. It makes this awful loud buzzing now. It happened after it was attempted to be wall mounted - I think the back got squeezed and something broke.
                                          I thought maybe the speakers got damaged, so I replaced them - no dice.
                                          • Using the internal speakers, it always happens.
                                          • Using the headphone jack, it never happens.
                                          • Using the digital/optical out with a soundbar - it happens after about 2h/movie runtime - it's never as drastic, it just pops in and out, but I didn't want it to damage the sound bar
                                          ...

                                          Hi everyone,

                                          This TV had the well known power supply issue, took ages to turn on etc until one day it never turned on, I removed and tested all output caps on the PSU with an ESR meter and replaced the ones I've marked in blue on the photo (they are the new ones).

                                          After this it turns on fine but no signal is displayed when selecting VGA or HDMI 1 & 2 but the laptop always correctly sees the tv and brings up the name and resolution...

                                          My new flatmate assured me the hdmi's had previously worked after waiting a long time for the TV to turn on but he...
