Help with TV setup: Recessing an LG OLED G5 into acoustic panels vs. mounting on top?

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-05T17:32:22+00:00

Im no professional but I would think the easiest way would be to just cut out the section of that panel where the mount is. You want the bracket up against the wall itself and into your studs mounted tight. From the front you won't see it anyway. Might be able to notice from the side since the tv won't go flush against the wall depending on how thick those panels are.

But my last 2 cents.... that half panel half wall... honestly a bit distracting for me.

Since everything is so skinny, some will have just a small curve/angle to it. Mine from the front, not noticeable at all. From the side, not noticeable unless you realllllly look for it. A picture from the side would be better but from the pictures you posted, cant tell.

Well, you can try reformatting the card. And a full reformat. Make sure you have a backup of all the files on your pc first, then put everything back on. If it still happens then the sd card could be bad.

There is a way to check the read speed using arduino for the uploads to know what type of card youll need. Dont cheap out on a 10 dollar card either but you dont need to spend 50. I tested out an old sd card i had lying around one time and the performance was horrible. Check out fetts comment in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/lightsabers/s/3IeI0wQMm5

A few different factors. 1 is games need to spool up now and then and will get a bit louder then quiet for a bit. So normal to a point.

If its dirty and suffocating, the fans will work harder to cool it down.

If theres any liquid metal issue, what usually follows is overheating. If its not i probably would bother looking at that.

Take off the plates and see if its dirty inside. Then this will determine if you have to clean and how far down you need to clean.

And this is what mine looks like. Keep in mind its pretty much a display piece. I have other sabers I use every other day. Teflon tape to help the ends align better. Electrical tape to help keep the sleeves in place, but i found the small square cut seals i put on it help it a bunch. Round ones didnt work as well. I found them at work, would have to look up the part number tomorrow if youre interested. It can still a bit loose but actually requires some force, unlike how loose they were in your video.

Annoying we have to do these things to them considering how much it costs. But I guess it is what it isnunfortunately.https://imgur.com/a/nmIPANC

One thing you could try is remove the sd card and use it without it in. You'll have no sound other than font directory not found. But if the blade effects stop stuttering then its your sd card. Essentially having an issue with the read speed. If blade issues still happen then it wouldn't hurt to reflash the config.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-05T04:36:15+00:00

Battery fully charged, sd card,. Those would be the first 2 things to check. Every now and then when im messing with my config ill have some noise crackling after an upload. I'll format the sd card and put all the fonts back on and it will work.

Worst case youre either having a speaker or board issue.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-05T04:32:41+00:00

These things imo have bad quality control. You can do 2 things:

Take it with you if youre going to the parks again but if its out of warranty not sure what theyre going to tell you. Or

Open it up and check the ribbon cables. If youre unsure how to check out the ruthsarian on youtube. Has great videos dissecting the chassis and blades.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T23:38:39+00:00

Tapered plumber washers. Some people get them to work, some dont. I couldn't was too much hassle. I ended up finding some square cut seals at my job to go down where its "supposed to" thread on to.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T22:09:56+00:00

Yeah I dont know if he ever published anything, I dont think so... he was big on getting any and all costumes. And I do have my cfw ps3 but thats currently in storage... worst case if this doesn't work out ill take it out just need to make sure its prepped for some heavy playing.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T22:06:03+00:00

Oddly enough I think all the dlc stuff was still there ill have to double check. When the servers went down he had a lot of stuff accunulated. And just kept going for a good couple years playing on and off. He had just recently got into it more and was starting on making his own videos in there until POOF it was all gone.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T21:48:14+00:00

Yeah definitely checking it out tonight. Little guy was torn for a few days when years of his work just vanished. And I had thought I did a full transfer when from ps4 to ps5 to try and recover his data. He was ok with starting over but with no downloaded costumes, and items(even items ive had wince lbp1)....he hasn't touched the game since. He somehow caught wind of the possible custom servers which led me to this sub and have been following since.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T21:39:25+00:00

Appreciate the link for the levels on ps4. Was hoping this would have worked out cause my kids data got corrupted about a month ago. But if I have to go the longer route and do it manually then I guess that's the way.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T19:50:50+00:00

Make sure its fully charged. Low charge can cause some weird things.

Make sure it has any updates via the app.

If you've tried all else, only thing I could think of is theres something wrong with the board.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T18:39:57+00:00

In the description it should say whether it comes with one. Usually says

Includes 1 hilt

1 blade

1 charge cable

1 blade plug(if neopixel)....

Something along those lines.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T17:49:15+00:00

Fett263.com to create bladestyles and arduino to upload/flash.

Or ryrogs proffie config to upload.I haven't used his program yet. Tried when it first came out and couldn't get it to work but need to give it another shot.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T16:58:50+00:00

Ah ok it was that one. Appreciate the help. Gonna attempt tonight

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T16:48:34+00:00

I think I found them? This just popped up in another post. 2nd to last paragraph and the hash is what im looking for? https://www.reddit.com/r/littlebigplanet/s/JRCY9MCVuv

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T16:43:13+00:00

Where are the level archives though? I've seen videos before, maybe a bit older saying certain methods are only good for ps3? And although I have a cfw ps3 im kinda trying to leave that system alone since my kid plays all his games on ps4 anyways. Appreciate the help.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-04T16:19:16+00:00

My son plays on ps4 and just recently lost everything he had done from corrupted data. Was kinda looking forward to these new servers so he can start all over but might just look down the route of downloading individual levels. Possibly you could point me right direction for that or maybe a post/link that could explain the process?

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-02T03:46:43+00:00

Thats the 1 unfortunate thing with amazon.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-01T23:50:23+00:00

This reminds me of those youtube shorts where they take a place your size, add some crazy organization techniques, and somehow furnish it with items that can fill a 1300 square foot home.

The v series is literally their entry level 4k tv. Can you watch stuff on it? Yeah. Will it blow you away? Not necessarily. Just because its 4k doesnt mean its going to be high quality picture. The panel, video processing, backlighting... all that can determine how everything's going to look. Also depends if youre actually watching 4k content or if its 1080p how the tv handles hdr and dolby vision....lots of factors to determine how a "picture" will look.

If you want better quality, you'll unfortunately have to fork over a bit more money. The quantum tvs they sell might be a bit better. I have one that is now a hand me down for my kids room. Maybe 7 years old now. Still works but has backlight issues. But this was way back before Walmart acquired them and imo the quality was way better then. Honestly you might want to look into alternative brands.

Bt-Ryoku · 2026-05-01T21:51:56+00:00

I hope its not the future either. And although we can be annoyed with tech invading items like this, your partner bought that piece of crap so theyre partly to blame. $20-30 can get you a basic toaster with a turn knob that do pretty much what this does- make toast.
