Model 3820R2. Unplugged stick and power to TV and that didn't work. When the system came back up, the menu went 'dark' and hard to see..oddest thing! Rebooted via factory reset, looked for updates to TV and stick. Nothing seemed to work...I unplugged all electricity to the stick and tv and removed wifi settings. Let it sit for 3 hours and IT'S FIXED!!! I don't exactly know what the exact combination was to fix these issues but finally done!
THANK YOU for your response, appreciate it!
