Just wondering if anyone has had connection issues with the LG 47LM640T-ZA software version 04.52.07
Had the LG for 13 months now and all has been fine up until a week ago.
TV wouldn't connect to the internet after dropping out whilst watching a movie via online services. I tried reconnecting then switching on and off but nothing helped, also tried connecting via LAN still no use. Only way I could reconnect was to do a factory reset on the TV.
Since the reset the tv will stay connected for several hours, but then whilst using Sky Now via the TV app and towards the end of a movie it will disconnect and fail to reconnect unless I turn off the TV then back on. When it disconnects I have tried searching for my modem in the TV menu but it will not even see the router or any other router for that matter, only after on/off will it see any routers and connect. I could not connect the LG remote on my iPad or Galaxy S3 during the problem with connection. Basically the TV loses all connection via wifi and LAN. So cannot use any online services etc.
All other items in the house connected without issues and continue to do so. It seems the issue is with the TV. Connection is to BT Home Hub on Infinity internet speeds are fine
The first time this happened I also found the TV was slow to respond to the infra red remote commands but works fine again since the reset.
I'm wondering if the software in the TV has become corrupt and needs a reinstall. I shall look into this next and see if it helps, if it's possible to reinstall the software that is.
Here are my typical speeds via wi-fi and are very much constant even when disconnect takes place
