Some of the information contained herein can, if misunderstood or misused, render your set permamently inoperable. As time goes on I hope to make docbook out of all of this. When taking notes I use plain 'ol vim and embedding markup during research just isn't how I roll. Eventually I'd really like this to become 'the rest of the owner's manual' for as many products as possible.īeyond this gateway page most of the information is plain text. If LG can document twenty models in one manual it should be possible to cover quite a few without becoming too confusing. Unless noted otherwise all information here relates to that one model, so your mileage may vary. I only own a single 32LFUA, so can only include first hand knowledge of it. These pages are partly to document my research efforts and hopefully to act as a central information store for related products. And while I wouldn't post service manuals or datasheets I would use the information within to flesh out these pages. So that pretty much rules out distributing complete firmware images. However nothing outright illegal will be discussed here and no copyright violations. This manual will disclose every secret on these products that I can discover, will offer up for download every scrap of source and binary code that I can find that has a redistributable license. The regex is meant to work for zero-padded values.Information to understand and fully utilize a product shouldn't be some sort of state secret but we don't live in a sane world. The detection can slow things down a bit, so it might be desired to tweak the script to use a hard-coded value to simplify things. That handles the autodetection of the port. For starters, I wrote a bash script that does all the communication with the TV.įirst, it looks for a serial port that responds like the LG TV should.

This is all documented very well elsewhere, but it's worth knowing about.Īssume I'm too cheap to go that route.

If you have a Logitech Harmony remote, or some older cell phones that can send IR, there are some hacks available to help you get access to the hidden service menus of the TV. You can set specific values for things and also READ the values as well. That and I don't have the remote for it bought the display model from the store front at a nice discount. Usually I'd just buck it up and shrug my shoulders, but I noticed an RS port on the back and curiosity got the better of me. Recent site activity Miscellaneous attachment from Brendan Robert.
