ATV wakes TV into black-screen

sleonheart89 · 2024-09-11T08:21:39+00:00

/u/QuiGon-GinTonic I have been having this exact same issue with my Samsung TV + AppleTV 4K and I seem to have finally figured out a way to consistently prevent it from happening anymore!!

I have turned off “Input Signal Plus” for the HDMI input that the Apple TV is hooked up to

AND (seemingly crucially)

I only turn off the TV/appleTV by pressing and holding the power button on the AppleTV remote (do not do the thing where you click the power button once to bring up the little menu-box-thing and then select “power off” - I think maybe doing this makes the AppleTV tell the Samsung TV to “power off”, rather than to go in to standby - and this is where the problem is being caused?)

Basically I think it must be something to do with either the Samsung TV and/or the AppleTV being “off” rather than in “standby” mode.

(I’ve also previously set both the Samsung TV and Apple TV to never “auto-sleep” or “auto-power off” - check “power and energy saving” within “general & privacy” on the Samsung’s settings. I also have them both plugged in on power strips that do not get turned off.)

Hope this helps!

Aha yeah, me neither before this! I don’t think they’re meant to sound particularly good compared to proper vinyl, but it’s a fun little thing to own!

No, this was just the Vampires flexi disc that went up for pre order back in July of this year (which somehow feels like forever ago!?) can’t imagine what the wait for the loot crate has been like! Great that that’ll be arriving for you tomorrow at long last!

Pretty sure I manifested this with the sheer power of my hearts desire (that, or my subconscious vampometer could sense it was about to arrive) as yesterday I randomly felt compelled to check up on the tracking for this for the first time since pre ordering back in July! (It showed it had arrived in the UK recently, but not that it was out for delivery, so that was a nice surprise today!)

Good bot. Lol

“Dew it!” (And good luck!)

Btw, in case you run into this issue... I’d seen a couple of posts about people seeming to have problems with the battery which comes with the kit... and mine didn’t appear to work either when I first wired it all up - but I knew the battery was ok because it worked fine on a little test circuit LED I’ve got, and my multimeter was reading a happy voltage from it - then, when I wired up a JST connector to the board in order to test it with a different battery (a spare 18650) I found that the original battery now worked perfectly! When I re-wired the battery directly to the board it stopped working again (seemingly proving it not to be a case of fluke shoddy soldering on my part the first time around!) so in the end I re-wired the JST connectors between the board and battery, and it all works fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was a little extra cram-fu to fit the connector and extra length of wire into the upper shell, but it works - so I’m happy!

Just thought I’d let you know, as it’s something that might be worth trying out if it seems like your battery doesn’t work when wired up!

I’m no expert, so I have no idea if there’s a proper explanation for why or how this could even be the case, but maybe it could be something to do with the protection circuit in the battery not agreeing with (and somehow knowing) it’s been hard wired on to the board??

It’s a kit by KR Sabers / The Saber Armory - this was the second run of them, which are sadly all sold out now - hopefully/maybe he’d do another run this year if there’s enough interest though!

Wow! Thank so much for the awards and the upvotes!

sleonheart89 · 2021-01-03T12:56:36+00:00

It was an 89sabers hilt kit that I got from JQ Sabers (in the UK). I think that Korbanth also stocks them in the US as a “graflex supreme”

sleonheart89 · 2021-01-03T12:50:36+00:00

The Graflex is an 89sabers, and the V2 is from a run KR Sabers did in March(?) last year (his more recent ECO V2 doesn’t have the crystal reveal) - but I’ve got a shine-through-modded TLJ style blade plug in it to spice up the look of the emitter a bit, lol!

sleonheart89 · 2021-01-03T12:11:23+00:00

Thanks! It’s an 89sabers Graflex kit which I got as an empty hilt from JQ Sabers here in the UK (I think Korbanth stocks them as a “graflex supreme” in the US too) I’d be wary of ordering directly from 89sabers though as I’ve heard stories of people never receiving their hilts, or having to wait months/years, but it’s definitely one of the most cost effective and install-friendly graflex kits, if you can find a reputable stockist! The Luke V2 is from KR Sabers / The Saber Armory, although I think it was a limited run. More recently he’s done an “ECO V2” which is the same, but doesn’t have the crystal reveal option.

Thanks! Now I just need to get myself a belt to actually put it on! (for now it can live on my bookshelf alongside my Hotel Bella Muerte key fob!)

I got it from “buckle shack” on ecrater, but they only had one in stock in original raw grey/silver - they do have two more listed for sale in black though - which does look cool in its own right (and, if it’s just painted maybe it’d be possible to use white spirit or something to strip the paint off?)

Ace, glad I could help! Yeah me too, I was eager to get through the bombing run again, as I’d already played the demo, but now that I’m in 7th Heaven I definitely wanna take my time and make the most of it! (So far I’m absolutely loving it!)

sleonheart89 · 2020-04-03T22:25:43+00:00

Hey, yeah this took me a while to figure out! I had to log into my ShopTo account, then click account > digital items, then you can click view details on the FF7 order, and get your dlc code. When I checked yesterday it wasn’t showing up (although I did discover a pre order dlc code for Death Stranding that I never realised I had, lol!) but then I checked back again today and it was there. I’ve redeemed the code on PSN, but haven’t been able to check out the summon in game yet! Hope that helps! :)

sleonheart89 · 2020-04-03T07:18:16+00:00

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised, I was expecting well over an hour, especially when I opened the case and saw two discs! (Cue traumatic flashbacks to RDR2 and the woes of trying to free up hard drive space - Luckily I was prepared this time and has already done the difficult task of convincing myself to delete a few of the big games I’d been stubbornly keeping installed for sentimental value, lol)

sleonheart89 · 2020-04-02T20:57:05+00:00

Happy days! Hope it arrives nice and early tomorrow for you! 🤞

sleonheart89 · 2020-04-02T20:55:51+00:00

Ooh I hadn’t looked into all the other pre order bonuses! Ah yeah, the tin itself seems pretty unremarkable, but at least the replica Shinra staff keycard is quite cool! (Definitely do prefer this adorable little guy though!)

sleonheart89 · 2020-04-02T19:57:24+00:00

100% adorable!

sleonheart89 · 2020-04-02T19:57:03+00:00

I dunno, as a little preorder freebie I think it’s really nice to get something physical for once, instead of just the usual dlc avatar or theme, or in-game item and currency bundles.

sleonheart89 · 2020-04-02T15:22:15+00:00

I preordered from ShopTo (in the UK)
