USB key not detected on Sharp LCD TV

You can try to format it in a different format than the current one ...
WARNING: you will lose the data on the drive !!!!
Plug the drive into your PC then
This PC / Right-click on your drive / Format
and choose a different type: NTFS, FAT or FAT 32 ... try them all by putting a simple photo each time on your drive ...
good luck

Hello,

I can't open my USB stick on my Sharp LCD TV. I've tried formatting it, I've tried several things, but nothing works. Can you help me please?
Thank you

So I can't watch a movie on a USB drive?
Re: NO

But if I connect a laptop to my TV, will it work?
Re: YES via a VGA or HDMI cable

And why when I plug my USB drive into my PS3, it doesn't work either?
It's likely due to either a bad FAT32 or NTFS support
you will need to format the drive and try again on your PS3
or the drive may be faulty or the PS3 has a problem

Aquos is like Viera, it's the designer.

Thank you for all these answers.

First:
what is the exact model of your television?
best regards

This is the AQUOS model.

Not that
it starts with:
LC-xxxxxxx

LC-42X20E and LC-42X20S

Okay, it's perfectly normal that you can't read music or movies.
That's not what it's meant for.
Read your manual and you'll see that the USB port is only for service.
Either reprogram the firmware, and nothing else.
Best regards.

Devices that are over 2 years old were not able to read media files. However, yours must be about 3/4 years old, that's why.

Alright, very well. So I can't watch movies on a USB drive? But if I connect a laptop to my TV, will that work?
And why does it not work when I plug my USB drive into my PS3 either? Even though I have photos, music, and movies on it.

Best regards

Alright, thank you very much.

perform the test by connecting your key to a PC
if you have access, it means that the medium on which the key was formatted is not supported by the PS3
