Check the supported movie files that can be played on that tv then look at the file and see what type of file it is. I recommend using MP4, WMA or AVI files

Hitachi touro not responding

Hi can you hear any spinning whirring noise?
This could be a cable fault or the drive itself could be faulty.
You can download Hiren Software on USB to test the drive with the software

Usb to watch movies on television

You need some sort of computer to watch a movie through the media station of the L2320A. The USB ports on the unit are a USB hub (one connection to the computer, two for devices); without a computer they are useless. Some of the media players (DVD/Blue-ray/media streaming units) that can play a movie from a USB drive without additional computing power. The format of the movie on the drive will limit which device can play the movie.

I wish that I had better news for you. Retrevo has a link to the manual for the L2320A here: http://www.retrevo.com/support/LG-L2320A-Monitors-manual/id/440ci363/t/2/ . You will need to enter a code to access the file.

Using usb stick

First you will have either copy and pate the movie or download it to your usb drive

One of the benefits of putting files on a USB flash drive is that you can make any type of file portable.


This includes not only documents, spreadsheets and photos, but also media like video clips and movies.


If you have movies saved on your flash drive that you want to view, watching the movies directly from the USB drive is a simple process and can be achieved on almost any computer.


Connect your USB drive to the device on which you want to watch your movies.

This includes all USB-compatible computers, as well as some select television-compatible devices (like the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 or Sony Media Extender).


Launch the file explorer application on your device.

In Windows, access this utility by accessing the "Computer" application and then double-clicking the USB drive to display the files.


If you are trying to watch the movie files on a compatible television device, look for a "media," "device" or "USB input" application or button to bring up the file explorer.


Select the movie file you want to play.

In Windows, do this by double-clicking on the file.


The appropriate media-handling program should automatically launch and begin playing the movie automatically.


If you are using a television device, select the file from the list of compatible files in the device's internal explorer system.


hope this helps

What factor that can make your external hard drive become unrecognized and cant detected by our computer and also the light indicator is off but the mechanical part inside of it still spinning but not...

Simple you have no enough power, (AND/OR) The connecting controller is damaged, return the product immediatly and ask for a refund or exchange to seagate / maxtor.. since most of the HDD of your brand are defected I personally have the same problem here, except that my controller is dead.
