FYI, I received the new card for one of my Argon One cases and it works as expected on 2 of my TVs. On the third Sony WEGA (the older one) I had to set the resolution in cmdline.txt to 720p for it to work.

Weizen, I am having similar issue and I spoke with Argon40 and they are sending me a replacement board. Did that resolve the issue for you or did you have to solder points on that one as well.

Thank for you help and patience with this. I purchased a micro hdmi adapter and removed the pi from the Argon One V2 case and now libreelec works fine on the TVs in question with a fresh install and no modifications whatsoever. I reached out to Argon40 to try to get assistance with getting the PI/libreelec working with their case.
Thanks

I figured out my problem with getting ssh running. I corrected cmdline.txt and started the pi with fresh install and stock configs. Below are the results. The first one is from the tv that I was able to get LE working modifying the configs. The second one is from one of the other tvs I mentioned that I have tried it on and I have been unable to get it to be recognized by the tv.

I started the PI with the stock configs and the cmdline.txt changes additions shown above. The PI gets an IP address but that seems to be about it. I can ping it but can't connect with ssh. The activity light is solid. All of the information provided thus far is from the Sony WEGA. I have not been able to get the PI to do anything when connected to the 2 SmartTVs.

That is from the Sony WEGA. At the moment the other TVs I mentioned I can't get them to boot at all. I setup with stock http://config.txt/distroconfig.txt and I added in the for cmdline.txt as well as SSH. With that setup the box appears to hang. I get an IP address showing on my router but the activity light is solid and I cannot connect with SSH. This is what cmdline.txt looks like. It appears the distroconfig.txt is not being properly interpreted. Also I enabled the setting to ignore edid on the information that I sent earlier.
boot=UUID=2705-5223 disk=UUID=26e63a25-1cef-4d63-a190-a5220a2d37e4 quiet

ssh
What do you men test with KMS not FKMS.

I am using the same power supply on the one that is connected to the Sony that is now working and I haven't seen an indication of low power. The other 2 TVs do not recognize that an hdmi device is even connected.

I have tried some different HDMI cables and in all cases I needed hdmi_force_hotplug. I did get the Sony WEGA working last night. I did have to use hdmi_force_hotplug. Essentially I manually set the options set by hdmi_safe and setting the display for 1080i. Also I had to move the settings in distroconfig.txt to config.txt. They did not seem to probably work in distroconfig. I also had to comment out dtoverlay=rpivid-v4l2 and disable_fw_kms_setup=1. I recently purchased some hdmi cables that are advertised as being premium cables but I tried them on the other TVs I mentioned in my last post and the PI does not appear to be communicating with the TV no matter what I am running PI OS or LE. I get a faint blinking activity light and the TVs don't recognize an hdmi connection whatsoever.
Thanks

Thanks for your feedback. I have tried the suggestions you made and I nolonger get the black bars dividing the screen but that is really the only difference. I did have to add the entry for hdmi_force_hotplug. Now it is a blank grey screen. The screen flickered a few times after the rainbow screen and the activity like seemed to flash irregularly but after 5 minutes nothing. The pi did seem to have an IP address since it was hardwired and I attempted to connect to it with putty an it was unsuccessful. I did try connecting the pi to a couple of other TVs that are newer than the Sony I mentioned above. One a Sony and the other a Samsung and on those I get nothing not even the rainbow screen.

This line was commented out from distroconfig.txt
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d,cma-512
And this line was added to config.txt
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
The TV I am connected to is a Sony Grand WEGA KDF-60XS955 (1080i). When I leave the dtoverlay setting enabled a few seconds after the rainbow screen I get a grey screen with 2 black bars that splits the screen into thirds. After that there is no further activity.

Correction with LE 9.2.* the activity LED lights up for a second or two and then no other activity.

I recently purchased a Raspberry PI 4 and have been attempting to get Libreelec installed and running for the last few days with no luck. I was able to get the latest Raspberry PI OS running after a couple of config changes. I have attempted to run LE 9.2.6, 9.2.7, 9.95.4 and the lastest nightly build from 6/18. On the 9.2 builds it does not do anything. The green activity light never turns on and I don't get the rainbow screen. On the 9.95.* and nightly build I get the rainbow screen and it either sticks there or goes to a black screen with the activity light flashing for a few seconds and then nothing else. I have tried writing the SD cards with Etcher and the Libreelec SD writing and get the same results with both.
Any ideas on how to resolve or move this forward. I have been running LE on PI 2 & 3 for years with no issue.
