Skyworth 43STG5500 Firmware Update Guide
Updating the firmware on your Skyworth 43STG5500 is a precise process. Following these steps carefully will ensure the system installs correctly and prevents any software corruption.
Preparation Requirements
Flash Drive: Use a USB drive with a capacity of 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB.
Format: The drive must be formatted to FAT32. (Note: Larger drives or NTFS formats may not be recognized by the TV's bootloader).
Software: Ensure you have downloaded the correct firmware specific to the 43STG5500 model from the official Skyworth Philippines support page.
Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
Prepare the USB Drive:
Insert the USB into your computer and format it to FAT32.
Copy the downloaded software file (usually
.pkg) directly into the root directory of the USB drive. Do not put it inside any folders.
Power Down:
Turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Insert the USB:
Plug the flash drive into the USB 2.0 port on the back or side of the TV.
Initiate Update Mode:
Locate the physical Power Button on the TV unit (not the remote).
Press and hold the power button.
While still holding the button, plug the TV back into the power supply.
Wait for the Signal:
Continue holding the power button until you see a software update progress bar appear on the screen or the TV’s red indicator light begins to blink rapidly.
Once the update starts, you can release the button.
Finalize:
Do not turn off the TV or unplug the USB until the process is 100% complete. The TV will typically restart automatically once finished.

Important Notes
Stability: If the power is interrupted during this process, it can "brick" the TV (make it unbootable). Ensure your power connection is stable.
First Boot: The first restart after an update may take longer than usual (up to 15 minutes) as the system initializes.
