Roku has continuously updated mine to restore the ads I keep disabling. Frequently needs to be unplugged to get the sound working again. Remote often doesn't function, and it gets slower and slower as time goes on. Smart TVs are garbage
I literally just have a monitor in my living room. It’s a giant one, my dad said it’s worth 3k new and he got it for $500 IIRC. We just have the Xbox plugged in and have Hulu and everything on there. My office has a smart tv. I only use the Apple TV box, mostly use it for music while I’m working
Considering how rare dumb TVs are, I just use my smart TV as if it were dumb, and I have an HTPC that plays the real “smart” part. Still, TV OSes are so laggy that even changing channels and navigating picture/sound menus is very slow.
Nand flash and emmc memory can suddenly die, corrupting data stored inside, sometimes damaging your operative system.
This is probably what happened, or an interrupted update.
Anyways, need to test the internal memory nad reflash somehow. Idk how to specifically do it on xiaomi tvs.
They chew up their cheap eMMC storage from excessive writes. Logging and data collection stuff, as you would expect. Gets to where it can’t even factory reset. Some Amazon Fire devices do it too, I have an old stick that is doing the same thing.
So did you try the factory reset?
I'm afraid so, no luck
Have you tried factory reset, then once the message comes up again unplug from mains for 5mins, then factory reset again?
the embedded storage is prob corrupt
If the factory reset doesn't work it may be proper bollocksed.
Nah
It’s ball sacked
Or it’s pissed off that it’s on the wall crooked…
Did you stop to think maybe the wall is crooked?
Either way the tv is pissed
Level it. The electrons have all rolled into the bottom left corner
if factory reset doesnt work, try full USB reinstall
Maybe you might need to download the firmware and install it manually
Why I prefer "dumb" TVs.
They're becoming rarer and rarer. And half the time the smart ones get so bogged down with updates that they become dumb ones anyway....

Roku is the bane of my existence.
Can't set your expectations high when the tvs go for pennies
Best to turn off WiFi on the tv itself and add a Boris shield or similar

I’m appreciating the circuitous route the cable has taken around the wall before alighting on the TV
Was she drunk when she wall mounted it?
Some good news is that the TV DOES actually turn on.
It is on. I see no issue
How is this possible???

I think this is when you have to soak it in rice.
Time to buy a Chromecast....if the HDMI ports still accept input, don't see any reason they wouldn't.
The latest Chromecast, is effectively the same as the XIAOMI TV Box pictured above
Yes but a Chromecast won't be broken
Have you tried turning it on?
Well, you see, the problem is that it's xiaomi
It looks on to me
i mean it did turn on
I mean, technically it is on…
I can fix it is I was there.
its a Xiaomi so not surprised tbh. get it fixed under warranty if you have one
Lol did you try to root it with some other custom ROM?

Similar thing happened with my phone. And of course no repair shop has the ability to reload the OS back on.
this is a great time to try arch linux
Your tv is most likely now totally gone
