The new feature scans your wifi for other LG TV's, and every five minutes a pop up comes up with

"Your other LG TV's aren't the latest, biggest models, do you want to place an order for each zone , the 77" OLED premium model?"
Options are "yes and yes"

Probably not too far fetched..

I got three LG oleds of various ages on the same wifi network and I'm yet to have a pop up asking me to buy a 77" or any other model infact I'm yet to have any obtrusive advertising in the last 7ish years of owning LG tvs.
 
Just tried music playback, the C9 isn't bit perfect, playing back 44.1khz audio, my processor shows 48khz. Not that I would use it for a audio player anyway. LMS server with UPNP/media renderer.

Maybe playing internally media player is bit perfect?
 
I'm getting what I suspect is a power supply failure on my 65C9. Often when turning on the TV, the red led will flash and the the normal click can be heard several times before it turns on, on worse occasions it wont turn on at all and needs the power turned off at the wall for a minute before it will turn on.

Struggling to find a replacement power board though, and there's basically nothing I can find online about repairing it. I can happily swap out bad capacitors which certainly sounds like the issue. But the lack of information about it seems odd. I can find drabs of information about other models but virtually nothing on the C9. I'll keep an eye out on ebay for a week weeks and see if one turns up. But I may end up having to dismantle it and order some capacitors in if none turn up.

Anyone here repaired or replaced the power supply on their C9?

No but replacing it is easy, watched the LG techs replace them and it looks easy enough.

If you can buy one?

LG probably refuse to sell parts direct would be my guess, only dealing with authorised repair centers (then charging you arm and a leg)

Yep I would imagine so. But even struggling to pick up a second hand part currently.

I was just quite surprised to not find a post somewhere of someone saying they have repaired one.
 
I'd suggest having a look at the board and searching for the board code. It's often down to search terms, annoyingly. But that said, you might find the issue just looking at the board. I wouldn't assume so as it sounds intermittent but... Worth a check.

Did you buy your TV from richer sounds by any chance

I didn't, PRC Direct.

I found a part number of EAY65170411, but that brings up minimal results.
 
A few years ago, a couple of months after i bought my G2, it would randomly turn off, or wouldn't turn on until after a hard boot.
It was within warranty and after a discussion with LG, they thought it was the power board as well. Two guys came to my house complete with a new power board but after entering the service menu, there were 1000's of error codes showing the problem was actually the panel. The errors were forcing the tv to shut down or simply fail to turn on.
A new panel was ordered and the guys came back and fitted it, the tv has been fine ever since. I'm posting this because your problem is so similar to the one i had and it may well be worth you having a technician to have a look at it. There would be no point in changing the PS if the problem is the panel.
 
Issue with my TV soon got worse, to the point where it would only turn on after being power cycled at the wall. Ordered a replacement PSU, which two weeks later finally came from France today. Nice easy job to change, looks to be a slightly later PSU than mine was. It has 3 outputs rather than 2 that my old one had, but came with the required cables to make that swap. Couldn't see any evidence of a fault on the old PSU on the sirface, so bulging caps or skid marks from a failure.

So far so good, for preliminiary testing. Time will tell though :)
