What to do when a software update fails on Philips TV?

Situation

After a software update has been initiated on the TV, the update stops and an error message is prompted, stating the software update could not be completed (the text on the message itself may vary, depending on the TV model) or a software update needs 1,5 hours.

Try the following to re-initiate the software update

1. Start the update again

• Unplug all connected devices from the TV

• Unplug the TVs power cord for around 1 minute and plug it back in

• Restart the TV

• Initiate the update again

2. Update via USB

• Test another USB flash drive

• If possible, update the TV via the internet by following these steps:

For non-Android TVs:

Press the “Home” button and select:

[Settings] > [Software Update] > [From network]

For Android TVs:

Press the “Setings” button on the remote control of the TV and select:

[All settings] > [Update Software] > [Search for Updates] > [Internet]

Contact the local Philips TV Support if the software can’t be found.

3. Start a forced update

If the regular software update is not possible, try a forced update.
