My LG 50PS8*** series TV is paying up by turning itself off and then on again without any remote buttons being pressed. It also appears to "hang" and then eventually turns off and then on again.

My LG 50PS8*** series TV is paying up by turning itself off and then on again without any remote buttons being pressed. It also appears to "hang" whereby the remote does not work and the TV eventually turns off and then on again. Is there a necessity to update software/firmware and if so, how?

Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
Before going further; try a hard reset first. If it does not help you, replace the main digital board. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here.

I have a oneforall remote urc 3050B00 I have a LG smart TV that I need the code for the remote

Here are the steps to program your OneForAll URC 3050B00 remote to control your LG smart TV:

Turn on your LG smart TV.
Press and hold the "TV" button on your OneForAll remote until the LED light on the remote turns on and stays on.
Enter the 4-digit code for LG TVs. The most common codes for LG TVs are 0030, 0056, 0178, 1265, and 1398, but you can also find a complete list of codes on the OneForAll website or in the manual that came with your remote.
Press the "Power" button on the OneForAll remote. If the TV turns off, the code has been successfully entered. If the TV does not turn off, repeat steps 2-4 with a different code until you find the correct one.
If none of the codes work, you can also try the code search function on your OneForAll remote to automatically find the correct code:

Turn on your LG smart TV.
Press and hold the "TV" button on your OneForAll remote until the LED light on the remote turns on and stays on.
Press and hold the "SET" button on the remote until the LED light blinks twice.
Press the "9" button on the remote. The LED light should blink twice again.
Point the remote at your TV and press the "Power" button repeatedly until the TV turns off.
Press the "OK" button on the OneForAll remote to save the code.
I hope this helps you program your OneForAll remote to control your LG smart TV!

Hi, I some how put my lg tv into hotel mode and I don’t have the remote only one installed on my phone and now I can’t do anything with the app on my phone coz the tv is in hotel mode. Any way I can fix it...

Press both Menu buttons for 10 seconds
Simultaneously press and hold MENU buttons on the remote app and on the TV itself. The factory menu should appear. Let go of the MENU buttons and press one of them again once (either on TV or on the remote app). Now you should be able to disable hotel mode.

My LG TV red light won't turn on. although the plug fuse and the remote OK

Try manually pressing the power/standby button on the tv (side or bottom) the red light should appear, most modern tv's will turn on simply by pressing the channel up or down on the tv itself.. But unfortunately in most cases, this seems to be an internal surge and needs a professional to inspect..

TO PROGRAM THE remote USING THE 4 DIGIT CODE:

If your TV does not switch off, press tv, then press the standby button. Repeat this (press tv, then standby) until your TV turns off, then press select (stores code).

I have an lg projection tv model #RU-48SZ40. I needed to change the lamp, when I was done and turned the tv back on...the orange warning light was still lit. I then tried unplugging the tv, pulled the lamp...

What you need is to have the lamp timer reset. To do so, perform the following;

You will need two hands.

With the remote, press and hold down the "mute" button.

Simultaneously press and hold down the "enter" button on the front of the TV.

After about 5 seconds, a box will appear that shows the total number of hours on the lamp. To reset these hours, press the right arrow button on the remote. After doing so, another box will appear with a confirmation question and an icon for which button on the remote to press to reset the lamp hours.
