Does onscreen control currently see your monitor? For reference this is what I see. https://imgur.com/a/ZkoneHd

Which LG software do you have running on the computer?

USA 38GL user here, I thought firmware updates were not possible on this LG. Something about the G-sync module...

I have the LG OSD open and I don't see the option to update my LG 38GL nor do I see a firmware version of the dispaly.

Has anyone looked into having their 38GL firmware updated by an LG repair center since it seems LG (NVidia?) has prevented end-users from updating? Is there anything to be gained by an update?

I was also wondering about voltage differences and speed control issues.

These were the instructions I found on the web - search <lg monitor service menu> These instructions are at your own risk - please don't blame me if you accidentally activate a setting in the menu and break something To access service menu: Via Joystick Power off monitor - wait 5s...

Here you go AlexTNZ And to exit it's: You need to move the cursor down to the bottom of the service menu where there isn't any option (blank) then power cycle.

In case anyone is wondering what my temps are after watercooling. Service menu says die temp 40C but it also says self check pass/fail FAILED maybe because it knows a fan isn't plugged in. My water temps are 25C.

Nice! What size fan is it? 40mm?

I've used that connector elsewhere before (on a GPU) but I have a feeling it wasn't the same as the fan connector on the 38GL. I think someone earlier in the thread mentioned replacing the gsync fan with a similarly sized GPU fan but then discovered that their GPU fan of choice was 12V whereas...

no you can't connect the blower fan to the gsync header, one of the fans is 5v and the other is 12v. Nice try though

Wow nice experiment. Even 88C seems really high though :0 I'd be worried about running like that forever. Are you satisfied with keeping the cover off indefinitely? If so you could grab a PWM fan or 2 and run them through one of the USB ports on the back of the monitor. Also it's a bit...

Just sent you a private message.

I think you could unplug the gsync fan and try it just be careful not to break the housing when you're taking it apart. Probably the blower fan will come on and off and that will be a louder whooshing sound as opposed to the annoying gsync fan. Removing red mesh won't make a difference. My gsync...

Scroll up and consider adding 3 small noctua fans inside your monitor and unplugging the GSYNC fan, that might be enough to do the trick.

I couldn't access the service menu anymore, I was stuck in the Aging screen. Left and Right on the joystick would change the brightness or audio, can't remember. Up and Down would change from normal screen with floating AGING to all white screen.

Does anyone know how to exit service menu? I've just finished my fan-delete project but I'm stuck in the service menu! edit: I think I'm in the AGING screen, the one that walks around the border of the screen showing the temp and fan status. I can't escape.

Thanks, slightly different situation here. The gsync card in the 38GL has 3 thermal pads connecting it to it's cooler; likely VRM's for the processor. For now I decided repaste the chip but reinstall the existing plate/cooler and then bolt a waterblock onto where the gsync fan used to be.

When will gsync waterblocks be available?
