Hi Buddy

There have been known issues and cause is the Wi-Fi.

1. Set your SSID to 8 alphanumeric characters or less.
2, Set WPA key to 10 digits or less. (If you want, try WPA2 later.)
3. Broadcast SSID.
4. reconnect your TV to the Wi-Fi and retest.

How do I reverse an upsidedown picture on my SEIKI TV

To reverse an upside-down picture on your SEIKI TV, you can try the following steps:

Press the "Menu" button on your SEIKI TV remote.

Use the arrow keys on your remote to navigate to the "Picture" menu.

Scroll down to the "Picture Rotation" option and select it.

Use the arrow keys to rotate the picture until it is right-side up.

Press the "OK" button on your remote to save the changes and exit the menu.

If the above steps don't work or if you can't find the "Picture Rotation" option in the menu, you can also try physically rotating the TV screen by 180 degrees. This may be necessary if the TV was mounted upside down or if it was accidentally rotated.

Keep in mind that the location of the "Picture Rotation" option may vary depending on your specific SEIKI TV model. If you can't find the option, consult the TV's user manual or contact SEIKI customer support for further assistance.

    LG 42 LCD no sound or picture

    Did anyone find out the solution for this??????? I have the exact same problem with my LG 32 LCD. I only had it for a year and a half, and the green light blinks a few times and it shows no picture. Not even a red light when the tv is off. The same thing happened a couple weeks ago and by some miracle it started working again.
