What to Do When LG TV Doesn’t Let You Change Input to HDMI?

I have seen some users complaining about not being able to change the input to the active HDMI port. The solution to this problem can’t be explained in one sentence or paragraph. Let me tell you the possible ways to resolve the issue.

The very first step is to access the input menu and provide a password if necessary. Here, you have to press and hold a button named ‘Settings’ for more than 4 or 5 seconds.

Some remotes may not have the settings button. In that case, you can go to the settings through the home screen.

Once you have been asked for a password, you can enter pin code ‘1105’. After that, disable or deactivate the Hotel Mode immediately.

And, you will be able to change the source of the input from the menu. Sometimes, that password may not work. You can also try ‘0000’, ‘0413’, ‘7777’, ‘8741’, or ‘8878’.

Even if the problem doesn’t go away, you will have to download LG TV remote application. After that repeating, the process mentioned here can do the trick.

To do this, you have to access the option by pressing the settings button on the remote for more than 5 seconds.

After that, type 1105 and you will be given the ‘LG Hotel Mode Setup’ option. When you enable it, you will see several other options getting live.

Now, keep scrolling down till you find the ‘Power on Default’ option. Enabling it will show the input source option being set to ‘None’.

Hover on that option and press the right navigation button, you will see different input ports. Select the preferred HDMI port, and exit the menu.
