Hello. I am a TCL 65C815 user and for several days I have had a black screen ... shining a flashlight on the screen I can see the entire menu and I can hear the sound. The firmware is V8 R851T02-LF1V606.017688. Maybe someone knows what is the cause of this situation?

It sounds like your backlight has gone, do you have a warranty?

Unfortunately, it is after the warranty period ... I uploaded the v650 software but it is still the same. I wonder if there is an option to fix this backlight

Sigh... I am getting quite annoyed with our Thomson TV (43UC6326) which runs on the latest available firmware version (I think it was LF1V466) in regards with Netflix.

Every time I turn on the TV and want to watch Netflix, it will give errors. So I cannot watch Netflix. The only "solution" is to clear all login details in Netflix and then re-enter all login details. Then Netflix will work fine and without issues, until I turn off the TV. Then I have to redo all steps again.

This is becoming a real pain in the ...! Is nobody else experiencing this issue with Netflix? Or am I really the only one? It's very weird. It happened some time ago and at first I thought okay. However I am watching more Netflix at the moment instead of watching something from my NAS...

I have no way to update Netflix (or other apps) on the TV. It's an older model obviously. I could use my Chromecast, but than I have to use a tablet or phone in my bedroom to cast Netflix to there. That's something I really not want to do.

Maybe someone has an idea? So far the only "solution" to get Netflix working again, is to delete all login information and re-enter them when turning on the TV. It's a lot of work to do that every day...

Thanks in advance.

You sure? TCL = Thompson (at least this TV).
This is 2019-2020 year TCL thread.
Your is older model ,so maybe will be this thread (you need to post full firmware version)....

There is a small "script" that I run on every clean install that I do on this tv that makes it less laggy and perform a little better
Enable ADB and open an adb shell to your tv and paste this inside

Please run this code at your own responsability and carefuly check each line!!!! It will remove some features that you might use (like miracast) and you will need to flash an IMG to restore full functionality again. Works with both ATV9 and ATV11
This will remove a ton of useless apps and all TCL bloatware. The last 4 lines remove the google assistant.
This will reduce the RAM usage and the TV will not rely on ZRAM that much, improving a little bit the performance of the crap CPU that TCL chose for this tv.
Is this still the updated list? I have R646 with V258. Thanks and amazing work!!!

It only works for v715 and earlier versions, not v718.
member " cra69 " writes that it doesn't work for him with a v715 either :(

ps. I found this on 4PDA

"Anyway, rolled back from r815 to v660 both img, then updated to v722 the above method. So far the flight. Normal, the problem was at first with the connection of the soundbar jbl, but solved, now it works :) "
other member
"So. how to get this 722 in Kazakhstan then???? The above method does not work for me "

I'm on V662 & struggled with the remote to bring up the numpad but no luck on any of the menu options ..
so finally moved my wifi keyboard dongle from my shield to tv an was very interested once the option appeared ,,,

its a miracle .....

to my surprise ...





"No Need to Update your Version is the Latest One" ..

Thanks for nothing :-(

I'm on v718 and failed the update of course. Good to know that the v715 is not working either. Need to wait for the release of the OTA/IMG then...

Download the TCL magic connect app. It has an inbuilt remote control. If your tv & phone are on the same network, u cn use it to dial in the numbers above till you get the "by customer service" option.

Thanks! I don't have a problem with entering the numbers through the remote but the unit claims I'm already on the latest firmware...

    Also, once usb debugging is enabled ADB should connect to the IP directly (you need to specify the TV IP address, don’t use auto locate or anything like that).
    That's the point, thank you. After I specified the Tv-s IP address, ADB AppControl immediately connected to the Tv. Thx again.

    turn on "developer options" xD
    And then you connect via wifi 😉

    It's pretty easy once you have done it once.

    Another Argentinian here.
    As I got tired of waiting for the OTA to appear, with my adb logcat running, and it never did ...
    I thought: "why don't I edit the ota v213 url to see if it works?", and it did. :p

    I have a 75c815k (uk) and have just updated to V715 android 11 software, I was previously on V645 the current official TCL European software and had spent many many hours tweaking the settings to get what I consider the best picture quality to suit my taste and eye. My son has an LG 77" c1 oled which cost him roughly 4 times more than my TCL and whilst my picture is not quite up to his with my settings I think it comes very close and thought I would share them if anyone wants to try them. I like quite a vibrant picture so have used the standard mode with the following settings for SDR ( in movie mode the same settings give a slightly softer look)
    Brightness/backlight 45,
    Contrast 90,
    Black level 40,
    Dynamic contrast off, black stretch off, brightness+ on, local dimming low, gamma 0
    Colour 48, tint 50, dynamic colour on, colour temp -1
    Sharpness 50, digital noise and noise reduction off
    Gradation clear (not on V645) low
    Motion clarity on, led motion clear off, judder reduction off
    Expert calibration settings untouched apart from colour space set to auto.

    My Hdr settings are similar although brightness and contrast left at 100 and colour pulled back to around 46
    Dolby Vision left alone.

    These settings were originally set on V645 but seem ok with V715

    As with most things picture quality is subjective but these settings I believe would give a much better baseline to the out of box settings which are way overblown in my opinion.
