External HDD cannot be detected on TV after formating on PS4

So I have a Seagate external HDD (1TB) which always worked on my TV.

As some of you may know, with the new PS4 update (4.50) you can now use your external HDD as an expansion storage for your PS4.

The thing is, you need to format your HDD to use it on your PS4. I did this, and know my external HDD cannot be detected anymore on my TV.

I tried to format it again on my PC. Tried NTFS, exFat and even FAT32 (FAT32 give me an error) but it looks that the HDD cannot be detected anymore on my TV. The HDD can be detected and works perfect on my PC, but not the TV anymore. I just keep getting an "storage not found" error on my TV.

Did someone had the same problem? Any possible solutions?

PS: My TV model is an LG 32LH5000

Solution 1:

The LG article Connecting USB lists the conditions on the disk, although even compliant devices are not assured of being recognized:

• USB extension cable not advised
• Only FAT32 or NTFS file system provided by Windows OS
• Rated voltage of 5 V or less and a rated current of 500 mA or less
• USB hub or hard disk drive with a power supply
• USB Flash Drive of 32 GB or less or a USB HDD of 2 TB or less
• Problems may occur with a USB HDD that has the power-saving function
• The USB must be ejected after use

Once the USB is recognized, the TV can itself format the disk by selecting the connected USB from Inputs and then the Format button.

My advise is to try another USB disk or stick, while verifying these rather strict conditions.
