It beeps when it’s done.

It beeps when you press the button.

It beeps when you place it on the base.

But today, it beeps no more.

I classify this as a repair.

        The whole LG situation is so sad… I love my LG TV. Granted I bought it in 2007, it has no smart features or app or anything it’s only 32 inches and 720p resolution. The most advanced feature is 2 hdmi ports but…

        Its from 2007, moved 7 times, has been hit uncountable times by son to show which show he wants and just works every day…

          That’s something I have to look into more because I don’t know the full truth yet regarding if the TV connects to unsecure WiFi networks from neighbouring houses or if that was just theoretically possible and getting parroted as if it was actually already happening. I have a newer LG that just sits on HDMI 3 and never connected to the internet…that I know of. I can remove the WiFi chip if I need to.

          Edit: I think the actually connecting to unsecure wifi is misinformation. The source is a reddit comment, Gamer’s Nexus / Level1 didn’t say that.

          Direct quote from Burke is the bit of informational nuance getting butchered online I think:

          Internet service providers sometimes have dual SSIDs that include open neighborhood Wi-Fi broadcast from customer routers, such as with Comcast’s Xfinity neighborhood hotspot and AT&T’s public hotspots, which are sometimes autoconnected to by devices when they discover the open network, such as in an apartment building from neighbors using such routers. So this is a concern broadly speaking and future looking for smart TVs regardless of the brand.

            Yeah it’s probably theoretical. But why? I just want a screen, a big rectangular pattern of flashing lights. I love technology when it’s an improvement but so much recently has been degraded and companies basing saying “deal with it”
