I have had trouble with two different TV's that this toy has been connected to. I have been reading product reviews to determine possible cause. My kids absolutely love it, but I am experiencing frustration over the whole thing.

our 3 yo twins play with everything they can get their hands on, about the time they turned 3 our tv started turning off randomly, figured out they had inadvertantly programed a shut-off. at first thought neighbors remote was doing it but was same time every day:-)

Hi I have trouble with my unit. I dont think its a TV problem. I only get a snowy screen and the sound is in slow motion. The batteries seems okay with a meter check. Anyone else have this problem?

Not as of yet, we've had it connected to two separate sets (just for ease of use) and no problems with the tv's after disconnecting.

My TV now turns off at random. I have only noticed this problem since using the smart cycle.

Mine's been fine for months; thank God! Are you making sure to totally shut the TV off when not in use?

We have issues with it working all the time too. We'll be watching something and all of a sudden the screen goes black. We unplug everything and reconnect everything and it usually works than. Sometimes we end up having to do this multi times and just end up trying another time. Very frustrating!

Yes, my Sharp smart TV had the same problem connecting to WiFi, the circuit had problem and was replaced by Sharp. I still have issues connecting to my home WiFi network. One thing that seems to work is unplugging and re-plugging the TV back. (NOT just turning the TV off and on, but completely powering down). Hope this work.

We have had no problems with our tv. We had to replace the bulb once but that's it. We have great uniformity

Yes I have. I use mines everyday it has happened to me before but only twice and of that happens you just unplug the whole thing and turn off the tv as well for 10 mins. It could be that you don't have good wifi service.

I have not had that problem. The only problem that I have had with the TV has been the remote sometimes it thinks the keyboard is open so I have to slide it open and close it again. Not that big of a deal because I rarely use it but still annoying.

I had the same problem the TV started to flicker and the screen had vertical rainbow colored screen. Called support and they told me it was out of warranty and the TV never has this problem. After googling it it appears this is a problem with Samsung TV's. I bought a Sony instead. Threw the Samsung in the trash. Customer service was awful and they lied ever knowing about this problem. But once you google it it is a common consistent problem.

Did you set it up properly, by connecting it to the tv? I did not have this problem. And yes the user interface on this thing is horrible. But it works.

I know if the connections are not set right, you will get that scenario. I know there are a number of TV inputs with this TV Set and I don't even use 3/4 of them. I guess I'm a dumb operator with a "smart" Tv. Read and re-read directions. I'm not real savvy on this stuff, but, if all else fails, contact LG for support.

I would call LG tech support. I have not had any issues with my TV, but then again, I have not hooked it up the same way

I don't have any problems with mine. The TV may draw too few electricity to keep the controlled outlets active. Try with a different appliance such as a table lamp on the main. If that fails then you may have a defective unit.

Ugh... this is maddening. I recently bought an Olevia 26 inch set which looks terrific but channels are now freezing up on it (just purchased 2 days ago). Thought I'd return it for the Samsung, but now I learn this set has this high-pitched sound problem. Frustrating.

I experience the same thing but not as frequent. I am also having issues with it turning itself off. I was told there is a problem with the power pack inside the TV. it does have a 1year factory warranty but dealing with Vizio CS is a pain. I bought mine from Best Buy abd bought there extended warranty so right now I am waiting for them to receive some more in so they can do a swap for a new one. I happen to like this TV very much but it seems without an extended warranty you might be on your own. Good Luck.

No I have not. Everything is fine. Try different inputs and cables etc. also you can run the image retention bar ( thru menu).

I have not had that problem, sorry hope you find out what it is, maybe its normal for your TV.
