Dear AVFAN and others still using ue630x

I am struggling and frustrated because I just did a system Factory reset.
Because Disney+ was giving me error and refuse to play. Occasionally the YouTube app will crash too
Now, after reset, the UI looks dated and even checking the network update it says updated.

Play store Version: 35.2.19-23 [8][PR] 522404461

Android security patch 1 Jan2018

Version 6.0.1
Build 31200 MUC91 release-keys
Please help guys. I have done hard reset of TV, internet etc

Hi bro AVFAN

I have no qualms on TV performance even before factory reset. The fear is Android version 6.01 is stopping Playstore to get updated.
In fact when I enter YouTube in the search box, nothing shows up. Even installed Disney+ and kept getting network error screen after multiple attempt to log in (successful) but then get Network error when try to play.

How do I update Playstore? I think I'm missing something here.

After factory reset I go through all steps and so something could be interrupted during my Android installation maybe?

Thanks again. I suspect others may also be facing my internet instability issue. Although I have confirmed that internet hardware and cables are 100%

Yes confirm issue is playstore
As even after update YouTube doesn't even show up in the search box. The default YouTube icon present on home screen doesn't open saying "this action is not allowed"

Basically Disney+ and Netflix also doesn't work. So might need to buy a simple Android box to use as proxy

If anyone finds a fix please let me know as this TV video and audio quality is better than Sony similar specs and size.

Yes I've been using Unblocktech ubox 3 (5years old very old box) without issue for the all around world channels. Including Malaysian Astro sports channels. Only issue it buffers. All China channels are better especially if you wanna follow any badminton.

Anyway. Reason I want to get new tv box is YouTube and Disney+ doesn't work properly on the ubox3. Netflix works well.

After i factory reset the TV. I did nothing different except connect LAN and sign on Google to setup. Update the Playstore 8apps and YouTube doesn't even show in it. Netflix is March 2023 update so I am guessing it will work better on TV. Only issue is the remote is slow and loading on TV also a bit slow. Unless do you use an Air mouse? The air mouse I use doesn't really respond for going back or to previous screen.

I have to check out what is iqiyi.
But for now main thing is I have to figure out how to solve this simple YouTube not working problem in the mean time waiting to buy simple TV box which allows Chrome browser and also YouTube. I heard YouTube isn't issue nowadays on most boxes but Chrome browser isn't straightforward.

I bought this Sharp Aquos LC-50UE630X back in 2016. It has been serving me very well until recently. Over the weekend, it suddenly didn't want to load. It got stuck at the Sharp logo. I tried to first Google for a solution and it was suggested that I reinstall the firmware via USB, but I couldn't find the firmware maybe since it's an old model.

I called Sharp up thinking that they could help, but that said they don't have any parts or firmware since it's an old model. They told me to buy a new TV. 

Can anyone help me? Anyone who know any technicians who can try to find a solution? I really don't want to buy a new TV now. 

Sorry bro. I understand how it feels to feel helpless and to waste a good working TV just because of lazy staff and/or company policy

I just read this message of yours otherwise I would have shared a technician around KL who could have fixed it.

Let me know if you still want to fix it or if you have found the firmware. It is worth keeping it with me in case it is needed.

Btw bro AVFAN what is your suggestions for TV with close performance to this special Sharp one. No need be so high tech assuming the TVs now are in a different league. As long as still like this Sharp TV it will be ok as that means the price will be much lower than the fancy TVs

Hi guys and gals. My LC50UE630X is not turning on and identified the problem to the inverter board. Technician is expert and offered to change it despite the economics not so convincing. Mahal.
But he confirmed this model screen is at par for color saturation and eye comfort/safety if compared to current TV models from Sony LG and Sharp.
So guys if you still have this TV please know that it is actually a very good one. Don't throw it away or replace it so quickly.

If you guys need recommendation for technician to repair. Please PM me and I will share as it may not be allowed to share contact here.

I read the YouTube playing and update above and I faced the same and was not able to resolve it
But I saw @AVFAN sharing a link to the solution so I shall try that and see if it solves it. For now I'm just playing YouTube on Android box.

Hi,

TV tech has advanced a  lot...even entry model like TCL C655 offers better pq with wide color gamut DCI-P3 gamut coverage 95%, a 450 nits panel, out of box accuracy with deltaE less than 3 and support HDR, Dolby Vision formats.
In addition price is very competitive with special offer from time to time. Even the 55 inch model cost less than rm2k new with 2 years warranty.
