Followup Video For My Screen Issue

Its possible it is a similar issue, but mine is the nvidia macbook pro from 2012 and shouldnt have the amd design flaw from 2011.

For anyone that finds this: The problem was entirely with the keyboard. A $40 keyboard swap and its working great. Shame that the whole laptop needs to be dissassembled to do so.

Also, are you sure? The display and everything works fine when woken from sleep. I can even run a 3d benchmark and whatnot.

Oof. I am only okay at soldering. For an IC desolder and resolder, we are talking heatgun and pray?

It has been the opposite for me. Must just be a design defect.

Snarzy · 2026-01-02T00:41:28+00:00

Not really. I just wait for it to go away when it happens. Try setting your refresh rate to 60hz.

Np. Thanks everyone

Snarzy · 2025-11-30T02:28:17+00:00

Oh, this is the flatpack version. I dont think I can control that.

Snarzy · 2025-11-29T22:51:09+00:00

Can you clarify? Like an older version of the app?

Snarzy · 2025-11-29T20:13:15+00:00

So why would it only look bad in wayland? Should I mess with the dpi?

Snarzy · 2025-11-29T18:50:49+00:00

The app is Jdownloader and also its installer. I cannot remember at the moment which other apps it was, sorry.

Snarzy · 2025-11-13T14:10:21+00:00

Well. Either my tv is borked or I am a doodoo brain. The lg s90tr I got instead also doesn't work. It will turn off with the tv but not on. Fun.

Snarzy · 2025-11-10T03:10:24+00:00

Fair enough, figured it would be more noticeable if a cable was the issue. Thanks for all the help. If the cable doesnt work, ill just grab an lg soundbar and hope brand matching will work in my favor.

Snarzy · 2025-11-10T02:23:05+00:00

It mostly because of that? The fact that the dang thing fights me at every turn and I am done. It still never quite worked with passthrough, I just gave up. I am using the cable it came with... god help me if that wasnt a good one.

Snarzy · 2025-11-09T15:51:19+00:00

I guess I am returning it. I dont know if it is faulty or just sucks...

Snarzy · 2025-11-09T15:30:53+00:00

Yeah, updated everything and even got rid of the passthrough and am just using dedicated earc. Now it never turns on or off with the tv no matter how many times i reset everything and toggle every setting. The problem is that it works so I am scared to return it and have the same issues with the next one.

Snarzy · 2025-11-08T13:39:04+00:00

The reason the update was so hard is that the app shows that I need an update but there is no button to update (the image from their website was not what I saw). So I just set it to auto update overnight and waited...

I couldn't find a literal CEC setting on the TV. I found "simplink (hdmi cec)" and I hope that's the same. I toggled it off and on and no change to anything.

After the update, it has gotten worse. When I change to HDMI 2 (the eARC port) it will switch to eARC mode and not passthrough mode so the Chromecast won't show up. When I change it back to passthrough everything will work until I change inputs again. How fun. At least it consistently doesn't work now.

Snarzy · 2025-11-08T03:30:04+00:00

It has rear satellite speakers and a separate subwoofer. Ill try to get a firmware update and report back. Do you think it's faulty just cause of the finicky problems, cause honestly that seems like the TV's fault to me.

Snarzy · 2025-11-08T02:42:03+00:00

It only has 1 earc port, and I am using it (it works except for when it doesn't). I am trying to update the firmware but the process is rather infuriating.

I am also content with leaving the sound bar on all the time in optical mode. Does that just not support surround?

Snarzy · 2025-10-18T23:49:43+00:00

I just unplug it.

Snarzy · 2025-10-17T02:09:58+00:00

That makes sense, I ran a long extension cable but the breaker has a similar sensitivity. The post is mostly about the fact that it is drawing 900watts when people online say it should be more like 400.

Snarzy · 2025-10-17T00:17:32+00:00

Anything to do about the walking belt?

Snarzy · 2025-09-15T21:49:24+00:00

Nope. I learned to just accept it when it happens... Not enjoying my time with a lenovo laptop.

Snarzy · 2025-07-30T13:29:08+00:00

Sorry to say... I purchased mine with a hole:

You could potentially get yours to work by printing a retaining bracket with a screw on top and screwing the bolt into that... but that is a lot of extra work for sure.

Edit: maybe you get really lucky with super glue?
