Don’t think you can without a cable anymore, back in the day they’d do them in the network shop for a few £, carwhorephonehouse did a few for me ‘under the table’ for £10 once.

Network branding still remained though.

Just applied another free movie pass.

If you’ve just used one, wait a day or two before cancelling.

My most recent console is an XBox.

Most used is an Atari Lynx.

[PlaneMan]

Not sports but good timing for Christmas, 1 month of free movies, use code AANOWDMRW7MP, just done it.

Don’t forget to cancel straight away to avoid being billed next month!

The Georgia Guidstones reckon a world population of 500,000,000 is ideal.

A bit optimistic though. :scratch:

[PlaneMan]

I think you need the rack to make it work.

Could well be wrong though.

[PlaneMan]

Unticked with me as well.

I checked earlier before pulling the trigger.

[PlaneMan]

Any more doing the rounds?

Please. Sir.  :good:

[PlaneMan]

I can sling a few £ a month if the other funding doesn’t work out. I’m sure others will as well.

[PlaneMan]

Nice one, works a treat.

Can’t go fullscreen on my phone, can on my tablet.

No big deal, I know there’s other stuff that needs doing.

[PlaneMan]

Okay, thanks.
No wonder I couldn’t get it to work. :wacko:

[PlaneMan]

Managed to (allegedly) flash a recovery ROM that disables the broken big cores, don’t know though as it still goes around in a boot loop or just hangs on the boot logo.
After 30 minutes in the freezer it’ll boot fine but as soon as it gets to room temperature it goes into the boot loop again.
Apart from trying to sell it to someone that works outside in the Yukon I’m left with a brick. :negative:

[PlaneMan]

Managed to get it to the firmware update stage by leaving it in the freezer for an hour, double wrapped in Ikea sandwich bags (the best available).
The firmware supplied was the wrong version though so it’s still hooked up to my X220 waiting for a firmware update while I download a stock Taiwanese image that’s meant to solve the boot loop problem.

[PlaneMan]

Trying to disable the big cores, the problem, and it booted to the setup screen without doing anything.
Now it just hangs on the boot logo, not advancing far enough to be recognized by my X220 to flash the file to disable the big cores.
Might bag it up well and jam it in the freezer for a while, heat is said to be the cause of the big cores failing so it’s worth a shot as it’s totally f**ked anyway.

[PlaneMan]

It’s a hardware issue, some of the cores go mammaries vertical.
Disabling them solves the problem but you have a dog slow phone.
It’s worth a try when I have time though.

[PlaneMan]

From the email I had they did a European version, a Taiwan one and a USA one. There are apparently a few more but those are the main ones.
Mine came from ebay so the seller could have picked it up on holiday or a business trip.
I’m gutted but I had my money’s worth out of it.

[PlaneMan]

Had a reply from LG UK, apparently it’s a Taiwan model so they can’t help. They advise contacting LG Taiwan. It would mean sending it back at my expense and they might still say no.
There is a method of getting it to work which means disabling the powerful cores. Pointless IMO.
Looks like I’m stuck with a beautiful brick. ?

All this while sat at Bristol Airport after a 2 1/2 hour drive in rain and fog, turned out to be the same on the way home. ?

[PlaneMan]

Noticed this morning that it was down but have been out all day.

Just got home to see it’s still knackered.

What a pain in the arse.

[PlaneMan]

Had to reset my password again to log in on Chromebook/ phone/ tablet but after that it seems to be OK.

It’s far from perfect but at least the post function works!!

[PlaneMan]

Well it seems to be working again, just managed to post a topic.

Not tried to log in on my Chromebook or phone/tablet yet so that’ll be the true test.
