Ive been without my sub for several months now. Amazon delivered my programmer and within 15 minutes I had it assembled and programmed and my sub is working again. This video is seriously the best! I thought the power died on my board but I didnt see any evidence of blown capacitors or anything and was about to order a new board when I just happened to come across your video the other day and after watching it immediately ordered the programmer and Im so glad I did!

Thank you from an 80 year old lady in Oregon. What fast service. Your fix did the trick and everything works perfectly again. I so appreciated your video, and emails to walk me through the soundbar driver update. Definitely 10 stars * * * * * * * * * *

Thank you Barbara!

I had Zach flash the motherboard on my SPN5B-W subwoofer. He tested it and shipped it back, quick turnaround. After I reinstalled it in the subwoofer, and paired with the soundbar, it's back to life! I'm a DJ and mix mostly House, Trance and Drum & Bass music. I rely on the soundbar and sub to critique my mixes before I post them on KZread, MixCloud and Soundcloud, so I really need the bass to work. I figure Zach saved me about $35-40. Thanks so much, my friend! 👍

At first, following the steps brought back the green light for a short time, but eventually didn’t work. I did get the verification error but it seemed like not everything was written to the chip, as the whole process ended after about 0:01, which seemed way too quick. So I did 3 of the 4 steps (unprotect, erase, program) manually one by one and just skipped the verification. And voilà, the sub is working again 🎉 Thank you so much for this tutorial! You saved me a lot of grief and helped me save the subwoofer from going to the trash. Sending you a donation now!

Just bought a bad Woofer ..Can u still fix

I was on the same boat as many others without a subwoofer for months. To the point I was about to by a new soundbar system. Honestly thank you so much this video just saved me so much money and I am able to enjoy my soundbar system again. And it only cost me 10 dollars. Honestly super simple instructions if you are afraid to try it I recommend you do, only took me 10min

Great video, thank you. I just got my kit delivered so I am hoping it goes well, I am optimistic having watched this a couple of times. Repair 3:29 repair starts here 4:03 Assembly of USB adapter and cable 6:09 Install USB programmer to computer with driver. 6:58 Run ASPROGRAMMER

Great job with this tutorial. It's great to see a solution that saves equipment from reaching landfills because of such a trivial issue that's easy to fix and sharing it with the rest of the world. My hat's off to you. :)

You made this incredibly easy to follow. THANK YOU for saving me a ton of money by showing me how to fix it myself!

Having been without the woofer for months I am so happy to have it back! Thanks so much. I sent you a paypal donation. (Not much but all I can afford right now.

Everything works as per your instructions, subwoofer is back to life 🙏🏻 There wa no updates performed prior to this issue,which leads me to believe that LG presets the date in the chip itself to stop working after warranty period is expired. In my case 2 days out of warranty. Didn't expect that from the company like LG 😡

This worked for me too. The lever on the ZIF socket would not stay closed, so that slowed me down until I figured out that I needed to hold it closed manually. I also needed strong magnification to read the chip marking. I bought the LG sound bar and sub-woofer as refurbished from Amazon a couple of years ago, so I assumed I got ripped off, but it was LG's fault and you fixed it for me!

I finally got my programmer today and within probably 5 minutes I had my sub working again. Will be sending a donation for sure, thanks heaps bro

Thanks heaps, I've had a few issues with the bass speaker losing connection then one day I tried to press the reset button and it just started permanently blinking. I found your fix and purchased everything you recommended and it took over a month to arrive. I spent a few minutes following your walk-through and found it so very easy. I then reassembled and didn't get any change. Then I tried to press the reset button again and realised it didn't move. I disassembled the entire thing, taking out the board and removing the reset button from the case and reassembled again. Now it's working perfectly. So either way I'm sending you some cash because if you didnt do this, I would never have fixed this and the entire system (soundbar, subwoofer and rear speaker system) would have ended up as tech trash. Keep up the great work.

One note: When re-programmed the chip on my existing board it only took like 3 seconds, which I thought was too fast for it to have worked, but it did. And I got the same "0000E000" error above as well, but still worked fine. Now to try get some money back from LG for this mess, lol...

Excellent tutorial, thank you. I did get the verification error but it still worked. Thanks

You're the best, this went over like a charm, from no-lights to alive and pairing in 10-15 minutes. I didn't take my board off the back wall of the subwoofer, which seemed to work great for having safe places to hold and a quick repair. It did look like they had burned off part of the IC numbers, but I could read enough to infer it was probably the same as yours. Just sent a tip your way.
