• Replace the batteries with new fresh ones.
What should I do if there is no image display and no sound from my LG 43UK6500AUA?
If you experience no image and no sound, please check the following:
• Check if the product is turned on.
• Check if the power cord is connected to a wall outlet.

Why does my LG 43UK6500AUA turn off suddenly?
If your TV turns off unexpectedly, consider these possibilities:
• Check the power control settings. The power supply may have been interrupted.
• Check if the auto-off function is activated in the settings menu.
• If there is no signal while the TV is on, it will turn off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Why do I see an abnormal display or hear strange noises from my LG 43UK6500AUA?
Abnormal Display Issues:
• If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small flicker when it is turned on. This is normal and not a malfunction.
• Some minute dot defects (tiny red, green, or blue spots) may be visible on the screen. These are deactivated pixels and do not affect the TV’s performance or reliability.
• Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods, as this may produce temporary distortion effects.
• Displaying a still image for a prolonged period may cause image sticking. Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for an extended length of time.
Generated Sound Issues:
• Cracking noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This is common for products where thermal deformation is required.
• Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low-level noise is generated from a high-speed switching circuit that supplies a large amount of current to operate the product. It varies depending on the product. This sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
