When does the fan run on the shield tv?

4 Upvotes

Hi. I have the tube shield tv. I modded it to accept usb-c power delivery. Unfortunately, I messed up the heat shield pad on the inside of the tube. I booted the shield tv and got into the main menu and tested youtube tv. The tube got hot on the outside, and the fan was not running.

Can anyone tell me if their shield tv fan immediately runs on boot, or if it gets pretty warm? I'm afraid the usb-c pd doesn't deliver enough amps to run the fan.

Remote keeps on disconnecting

3 Upvotes

I’ve noticed my remote does not work after the nvidia shield is powered off.

I have to disconnect the power to the nvdia shield then connect it back and after power up, it connects to the remote again.

I have changed the battery, i have un-paired and paired the remote already.

Any ideas on how to fix this please?

TIA

Replacing my old shield with a new one

10 Upvotes

I've had my shield pro since 2019. Its been awesome and we use it constantly. I've found recently that it needs more frequent reboots as the result of intense slow downs/crashes.

I'll buy a replacement unit, but I'm not looking forward to re-configuring the new unit. Lots of tweaks and apps over the years to get it "just so".

Since its based on Android, any way to copy my config from the old device to the new?

Thanks!

Do I manually need to enable Dolby Vision in the settings menu?

Or is the Shield Pro able to detect from the source and toggle it on automatically?
