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?

Hi sudoers:
There’s a Toshiba 55l621U 55” 4K TV in sudoroom I’d like to put in
service as the new jitsi and discord telepresence monitor. 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
