Why does my LG TV stuck on Logo Screen?

However, these are the primary reasons for this problem.
- Overheated circuit.
- Outdated TV’s firmware.
- Malfunctioning system hardware.
- Loose or damaged HDMI connection.
How to troubleshoot an LG TV that is stuck on the logo screen
In short: To troubleshoot if your LG TV is stuck on the logo screen, first unplug it from the power outlet and then plug it back in. If that doesn’t work, reset your TV.

Step 1: Power Cycle Your TV
It may appear to be simple. However, unplugging your TV from the wall socket is the most typical way to get it to turn back on. After unplugging, wait at least 60 seconds.
Wait patiently until at least a minute before plugging it back in. While the TV is unplugged, locate the power button and press it for at least 30 seconds.
Make sure you’re pressing the power button on your TV rather than the remote!
This will help to drain any remaining power from the TV and allow it to soft reset. This isn’t the same as simply turning the TV on and off! After 60 seconds, plug the TV back in, and it should power on without a glitch.

- First, remove all the cables on your LG TV, excluding the power cord.
- Then check your TV’s left or right side for the power/reset button.

LG releases new monthly updates to improve its system’s performance and eliminate various minor bugs. If you update your TV, there is a chance that your problem may be fixed. To do that,
✔ First, download the latest firmware version from the LG website. (Be sure to choose the correct model number for your TV)
✔ Right-click the downloaded firmware file, then select “Send To,” “Extract” (or “Zip”), and the extraction program loads onto the screen.
✔ Connect a USB drive to your computer and copy the downloaded firmware file to the drive.
✔ Click “Start,” “(My) Computer,” then right-click the removable device icon and select “Eject.” (Disconnect the USB flash drive from the USB port on the computer once the icon disappears.)
✔ Power down the LG TV, plug the USB flash drive into the USB port on the TV and then power the TV on.
The device will automatically detect the inserted USB flash drive and begin to upload the data onto the TV. Once complete, a prompt appears on the screen, telling you to remove the flash drive from your computer system. Watch the bellow video guide to do it without any mistakes.
