[sudo-discuss] Update: help fix the Toshiba TV

Hi Sudoers: At sudoroom Tuesday night Kent, Marc, and Mike opened up the 55” TV and discovered its a Toshiba Model K550WDR1 rebranded as a Best Buy Toshiba 55l621U. Can someone help to find firmware we can try to flash on this TV to see if that resurrects it? Also: Kent seems to remember having a remote to this TV, and using that to have it show some menus temporarily: does anyone know where that remote is?

But it’s currently not working: it flashes on briefly and then goes out. Normally this would indicate a power supply issue, but I’ve done a little online research and some people online claim the problem might be a firmware issue, e.g. see https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/toshiba-55l621u-wont-turn-on-properly.… Can you do some more online sleuthing and see if you come up with a plan of attack for fixing this TV? And let’s try to put our heads together tonight at sudoroom and get this puppy working: I’ve already got a rolling stand for it. Sincerely, -Peter
