Hello everyone!
I was using the Shield (pro model, 500gb) and suddenly it won't respond to the remote control. I turned the Shild off and then tried to turn it on, but it won't. When I try to turn it on the shield button turns green but only for 1 second and then turns off. Nothing is displayed on the TV. I have tried many times turning on the Shield and it only turns green the button for one second and then turns off.
I have tried the instructions provided here, but to no avail: http://support-shield.nvidia.com/android-tv-user-guide/index.htm#t=Reset_SHIELD.htm
Has anyone encontered this issue and resolved it? Don't know how to recover my device now
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards,
David.

Im not a expert in this sphere, but according your written the power button on Shield not lights and this happened without your interfering, my guessing and opinion sounds like you have hardware problem, this symptoms not sounds like software. Try this one and or not I would go sending back by warranty!

I have a pro (500gb) model. Thanks, I'm going to try this and report back my findings.
Thanks!
Hello again!
I tried what is mentioned on the video but it does not enter into bootloader. The video mentions to press the nvidia button two times and in the first time the green light keeps on. In my case, when I press the first time, even if I keep pressing, the green light just turns on for 1 second and goes off. The second time it is the same, and actually nothing happens
Anyone has encountered this issue?
thanks!
Did you manage to eventually get this sorted?
I have an almost identical problem; the remote for my SATV Pro stopped responding, mid-session, one day.
I had to pull the plug and it would no longer boot, thereafter.
The light will stay on indefinitely, it seems - I left it on overnight to test.
It won't enter the bootloader menu, either; if I hold the power button for 6 seconds, the light switches off and I can still hear the harddrive.
when trying the push button method do not forget,the USB and HDMI should be plugged to each device before start. me I just press for start then I instantly press again and hold,works well .
Did you figure out what happened and if there is a fix for this? My Nvidia Shield Pro is having the exact issue and unfortunately my unit is a month over the warranty period =(.
Same light flash for a second after power, but nothing after. I'm thinking it must be a hardware issue, but how to troubleshoot it? Wish an nVidia engineer would help out.
My 2015 Shield 16GB went dark today and I have the LED on for 6-10 seconds after replugging, and then it shuts itself off. I only see the green Shield logo for few seconds. Tried going into bootloader, but there it too shuts down after few seconds...
same her mine just gave up.
Was Shield Experience 8.2.1 recently released or am I just seeing it now for some reason? Maybe that's what caused your problems?
edit: seems like there are issues with the TV trying to go from 7 directly to 8.2.1. See the sticky:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...ield-experience-upgrade-821released-11162020/
after one night unplugged i got it booting again and it run for about 10 minutes or so.
efter that i have now tried toapply new cooling paste and even tried with another power adapter, but noting seems to help so far.
and as some one else up there said, i can still hear the hdd spin
A very similar thing has happened to me but maybe my difference can shed light on this issue?
I was cleaning (sweeping specifically) and accidentally turned the shield on. I pressed the touch button on the front of the shield to put it back to sleep and I then heard a *pop* sound. After that the shield will only turn on for a second, the green light will come on for a second and then it will switch off.
I opened it up (pretty easy with just my finger nails even) and I can hear sounds coming from the mainboard when I plug it in, like it's still receiving power even though it wont turn on.
I have little to no experience repairing electronics but my assumtion is I discharged enough static to blow the power button board on the front of shield unit.
Also to add, the shield unit will not respond to the inputs of a controller or a keyboard that has been paired with it.
I identified the infinitesimally thin wires that connect the touch power button to the main board but they dont seem to be damaged themselves - I plugged the power supply in while each side was disconnected and the shield unit turned on when I reconnected the wires.
I'm going to assume that if I can replace the power button board on the front of the unit it will work again but I'm not sure and cant be sure unless I can get a spare part.
Or maybe I should just take it to a repair shop?
Has anyone managed to get their unit working properly after this specific issue.
Side note: it's strange how many others have this exact same issue in this exact month isnt it?
Just following up a little bit.
I got a new power supply from Ebay to see if that would make a difference.
It did not - the power supply is not the issue.
Oh just to add - I tried cloning the original drive but I was still able to read it on my computer and the drive-clone didn't change the outcome so that wasnt the issue either.

I turned mine off at the device last night and, pop, a huge static discharge from my finger. My Shield now exhibits the same behavior as everyone else in this thread.
Just wondering if you or anyone else every figured out a fix? Possibly blow fuse or capacitor in the power circuitry?
No change in status.
I'd like to still fix mine but I ended up buying a mini PC, which is a million times better than a proprietary-hardware device.
It's not locked down like an android only device (even though it runs on win10) and I can do much more with it than just watch movies and play android games/apps.
Anyway if anyone else can find a solution to this that'd be great.

Did you remember to connect it to a PC via USB first?
Cause if not... Well theres your first problem.
Same here, stuck at circles........
Nvidia Shield TV Pro 16GB 4K HDR
All right guys, I'm back with the following steps
If you own a SHIELD Controller
• Unplug SHIELD TV.
• Connect SHIELD controller to SHIELD TV with a USB cable (use port closest to HDMI).
• While holding the A and B buttons at the same time, connect power to SHIELD TV.
If you do not own a SHIELD controller
• Unplug SHIELD TV.
• Connect a USB keyboard directly to SHIELD TV (use port closest to HDMI)
• While holding the "A" and "B" keys down at the same time, connect power to SHIELD TV.
• Once you enter Fast Boot mode, on the keyboard use the "X" and "Y" keys to navigate the menu and "A" to select
Use the X and Y buttons on the controller to move to "Boot recovery kernel".
3. Press the A button to select "Boot Recovery Kernel".
4. You may see the dead Android robot on screen. This is expected behavior. If so, press B button on the controller.
5. You will see Android Recovery Menu.
6. Use the X and Y buttons on the controller to move to "wipe data/factory reset".
7. Press the A button to select "wipe data/factory reset".
8. After process select "reboot system now".
8. SHIELD will boot to home screen.
Do the factory reset
It will bring you back to recovery
Select "Continue"
device will process and reboot like new
Hope this works....ENJOY
It did for me
I received the above info while chatting with Nvidias tech support
Hi guys,
I have a problem with my LG. Yesterday i was casually lurkin some internet or whatever. Havent done anything suspicious or something. Then i switched phone off and put it for a while on the side. When I tried to unlock it after that it was impossible. Phone just doesnt respond. I havent rooted it or done anything connected with roms etc, not into this stuff really. When i plug it into charger red LED starts blinking, then LG logo appears, then battery icon and after that its just charging like normally and still red LED lights. Right now its fully charged so instead of red, the LED is green. The buttons combinations dont work neither (hold power,hold power and vol-) besides holding vol+ and power. I have to hold it for a while, then plug into charger and then some kinda download menu appears, but it does nothing too. Still cant start the phone. However few hours ago i just tried holding power for a bit and everything worked perfectly. Then i locked the screen and *bam* bricked again. I know there are many topics like that but i havent found the exact same problem with solution yet. Every help would be highly appreciated. :good::good:
BUMP please any advice. It actually Turner on one more time, but when i tried using power button, at first it didnt respond, then after few seconds it went bricked back. I managed to take off the backcover so maybe there is sth i can do?
I could be wrong but sounds more software related then hardware to me, maybe try to use one of that flash tools or pc suite to do a clean flash and sadly lose all your data.
If that doesn't help idk....
You don't have a backup do you?
No, unfortunately i dont. I didnt expect that to happen.
Yo so I actually managed to turn it on (i ve no idea how) and its working fine. Im scared to press the power button so it will be unlocked all the time. Ive already done the general backup of photos, music etc, but if there is some good app to make solid backup or something please let me know.
Soo is there any other option to find out if it is finally repaired than pressing power button? I can access data on PC so maybe theres the way to fix it now? If i press the button probably it will brick again, and then after couple of days it will suddenly start working, so id rather dont do this..
Hello evryone,
I'm a bit in a pickle here, i got a smart TV (zephir store brand) that costantly loops trough the zephir logo and smarttv logo.
As far as i know the tv fuction perfectly fine until the previus owner tried to performe a firmware update, during the update something went wrong and now we are in this situation.
Till now i have tried the following:
Turning it of and on
Un plug the power and wait for 1h
Tried to perform a factory reset via remote
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button and the volume down button
Tried to perform a factory reset while holding the power button and the volume up button
Tried to connect an usb keyboard
tried to connect via usb to PC
Nothing of the above showed any sing of response at this point the owner has given up on the TV but i still wana try to use it as a second monitor or something, so with all of that i'm coming here to seek the wisdom of the XDA forums. Any and all help would be apriciated form jailbraking to rooting, turning it into a monitor with no android fucionality, how to access the shell file anything at all.
Alright, so I couldn't find any firmware anywhere whatsoever for the Zephir brand. Tried loading a differend brand one for the same logic board. Managed to boot it but the picture was inverted and doubled. Made it to the source selection screen. Attempted to load a different firmware. The tv crashed while loading the booter. Now it won't even turn on the power indicator LED. So I guess it's well and truly cooked.
I could find the board online for like € 40 but I'm pretty sure they come without any firmware or OS? Does anyone know if it'd be worth a try, especially without being able to source the OEM firware?
Does anyone know if there is a way of making just the screen run on an arduino or something, I only need it to run HDMI anyways, 'cause I was planning on using it as a monitor anyways. The logic board is a CV538H-a.
If anyone has a suggestion I'd be glad to give it a go, otherwise i guess I'll bin it.
Hello team,
hope you are well.
I have this tcl u55c7006 for around 5years.
Sudenly it started crashing 5-20 seconds after booting up, either on TCL moving logo or android logo a bit later.
I've tried factory reset (holding power button on boot for 20secs+) or tried several images flashing without success.
The original build on this tv that shows on the board sticket is V8 t658t01 lf1v162.
I've tried also to disconnect all unecessary output from the board (button, speakers, wifi, leds, IR receiver) without any change.
Was anyone here successfull to overcome this problem?
Would a hardware store be able to resolve this problem? The tv is still ok , and the panel is ok, so i'm a bit sad throwing it to the trash :X
Thank you
Hey guys, I've been playing with my device, trying to set up a booting logo (to be mazda instead of android) and the device asked me to update and restart, so it completely froze. No button works, nothing works it's just a screen with green lines, you can see the pictures below. Only the RST hole that I can poke, but it just brings me back to the same thing when it restarts. There's nothing else I can do, so I found a software to update it, I've tried many, with a USB, it brings me to the updating screen but it doesn't move, I've waited for hours with different softwares. What can I do? Is there a better one I can use?
Thank you
