Just fixed this problem. Turn TV off and unplug from wall, leave for 5 mins turn back on and picture back!

bad panel call lg

There can be several causes for this, few of which you can do anything about. However, a few things to try:

1) Replace the batteries on your remote control.
2) Try resetting the logic functions on your tv by unplugging it for a minute, then plugging it back in.
3) Try covering up the infra-red receptor on the front of your TV to see if you're getting unwanted signals from the receptor. taping a piece of foil over that area is perfect. If it doesn't stop after doing these two things you'll probably need to take it to a shop.
4) If this does stop it, then look for unexpected signal sources. Have you added a remote control extender? Added a new device to your audio-video system? Changed to a new remote?

I hope this helps. Joe

On most universal remote control, you will find the procedure to enter the builder code OR a procedure to pass through all the codes of the remote, one by one and pass to the other TILL you find the right one. It happen to me numbers of time and i've always trick it this way! Good luck.

Try this:

In the menu go to CC and set the TV to CC1 as this is a text box appearing for captions. Hope this works!

It sounds like your tv is in text mode for the captions. Try going into the menu, and go into captions, and set it to off. That should solve the problem. If not, do U have a cable box? If U do, try the same approach with the cable box B4 concluding it's something wrong with the tv.

Do you have basic cable or Digital cable. The listings only come when you have digital cable. If, its antenna then it wont work either. You will only get the listings if you have a cable box.

if the signal breaks up and the picture looks like small squares with audio coming in and out its 99% of the time signal / reception how old is your ariel it may not be suitable for digital.

Clean the Lens: Use a DVD cleaning disc to clean the lens. If the problem persists, consider professional cleaning. Test Other Discs: Try playing different DVDs to see if the issue occurs consistently. If it's specific to one disc, that disc might be the problem. Check for Updates: Make sure your DVD player's firmware is updated. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for firmware updates. Try a Different TV: Connect your DVD player to a different TV to see if the noise disappears. If it does, the issue might be with your TV. The hum is simply the player trying to read the disc. It can't so, it spits it out. Remember that prolonged use of a malfunctioning DVD player could potentially cause damage. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional repair or replacement

Maybe the disk is not compatible with the DVD player version

It can't be done. The DVD remote will be single frequency for that device only and the LG remote for that LG Blu Ray (or series) only. Companies don't make cross-control between makers easy. The only exception is cable and satellite boxes to allow their remote to also control the television.

You can't, the LG DVD Remote is single frequency. If you are lucky, the LG Television Remote, might control an LG DVD. If you have lost a remote, have a read of this https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..
