LG Television: Why does everything have a blue tint?

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 19:40:08 -0700

I have had my LG 43UF640V 43” smart TV for 2 years and over time, the picture has become more and more tinted. Everything looks a blueish purple.

This problem occurs all the time, with my sky box, DVD player and Netflix and YouTube apps on the smart tv.

I have tried adjusting all the picture settings. I have turned the picture temperature all the way to warm and even this doesn’t help lessen the blue tint. I’ve tried everything.

What might be causing the blueish purple tint?

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks.

My firestick is connected to my old Wi-Fi and that Wi-Fi is off now but I'm trying to connect it to my new Wi-Fi and it's not allowing me because it's telling me that it's not connected to my home network.

JBL Flip 4: Flip 4's battery runs out quickly and other problems.

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 04:37:46 -0700

My Flip 4, only bought it for like half an year, is having a battery issue where it runs real quick. And when it charges, I find some problems like stopping the blink (which indicates it is being charged) stops at 4 point and never run to 5th unless I plug it in, again. And the sounds are getting distorted when the light hit red which indicates the battery has run short. I get it if the battery is efficiently using the juice by not using its full sound quality but when I turn up the volume at that moment, the battery runs out and the speaker shuts down. I bought it as my travel accessory and it doesn't quite help me with my purpose.

Amazon Fire TV: Lost remote, New WiFi I can’t connect without the remote.

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 23:50:50 -0700

I have a new WiFi. My Amazon Fire TV is stuck on my network settings screen. I lost the remote, and now cannot pair my device with my FireTv app on my phone. What do I do? Switched TVs, didn’t work. Unplugged it a million times. Is there no way to do a factory reset without having access to some kind of remote???

Sony Television: I have horizontal lines on part of my TV screen.

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 02:12:34 -0700

Hi all - Hopefully someone out there might be a little bit more helpful than the Sony Troubleshooting Guide:

Sony Bravia Model No: KDL-47W805A

Only yesterday a number of horizontal lines appeared on my TV screen, only the lower 1/3 portion of the screen though. They intermittently flicker between 1/3 of the screen having visible lines to only the top three of four lines.

I have attached two pictures below which I hope go some way to demonstrating the issue.

So far I have:

1: Switched the TV off for a period of time and then switched it back on - The lines still appear.

2: Removed all the connecting cables (Amazon, HDMI, Cable) and then switched it back on again - The lines still appear.

3: Conducted a factory reset - The lines still appear.

4: Applied pressure along the edges of the TV where the lines appear - No change, the lines are still visible, no distortion to them. Although this might seem strange I read somewhere that if there is a loose connection along the LCD connectors applying pressure might confirm this is the lines change with the application of pressure.

5: Given up :(

Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker: Bluetooth Speaker not charging.

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:02:27 -0700

Hi,

my Bluetooth speaker stopped charging one day. As far as I know it did not suffer any physical damage or anything of sorts. I used to carry it with me sometimes but usually in a bag.

It still has some juice in it because it turns on but after a few seconds turns itself of with not enough battery. LED indicator doesn't even lit up when I connect it to USB cable.

I already opened the device and well everything looks in place. So, if anyone have any idea of what might be the faulty part I would be grateful for suggestions.

It's actually pretty cheap but I am kinda curious what went wrong.

Thank you.

JBL Flip 4: Why playing via AUX cut's on quiet passages in the songs/movies?

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 12:39:50 -0700

There is this problem with JBL Flip 4, I think that playing via AUX sound is more controlled, clearer bass and less distortion. But it cuts out the sound on quiet passages in the songs, or in the movie, it soo annoying. Does anyone have a solution? It works fine with BlueTooth, but let's say, movies, the sound has a delay via BlueTooth so it's weird.

Battery: My power bank does not charge my phone?

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 02:30:36 -0700

I bought this Verbatim 10200mAh Black Power Bank a few months ago. It worked perfectly fine with my iPhone 5S and other android phones as well. Yesterday I lent it to my friend who had a Nokia Windows Phone. It was the first time my power bank charged a WP. Since then, my power bank went into the state where you can turn it on (LED indicator lights up) but it automatically turn itself off in a couple of seconds, regardless of whether my phone is plugged in to the power bank or not. Usually when the phone isn't plugged in, the light would stay on for pretty long but this time it turns itself off after like 2-3 seconds. I tried different phones (other than WP), different cables and tried to switch between the two ports on the power bank as well. Doesn't work. However, I can still charge the power bank by connecting it to a socket/computer. Any ideas? Help would be much appreciated as I don't really want to get a new power bank. Thanks a lot!
