markconigliaro 04/17/20 5:54:59 AM #16:	That happened to my TV a few weeks ago after the power went out for 10 seconds. The solution is something I would never think of. Change the date and time.

Thats probably a configuration issue then. If it connected to the wifi then you just have a network problem. Like is it getting an actual address from dhcp or do you need to manually specify one. Also make sure that cable isnt messed up.
