It has no partitions. It does not show up in disk management

my dad is a manager for samsung and he says thats a usb device they use in the manufacturing centers to set up the firmware for televisions. usually its removed before the unit gets sent out but somebody must've accidentally left one in your TV.
some companies give u a couple of bucks if u mail it back to them so u should check who made ur TV and see if they offer anything like that.

If it isnt showing partitions, its most likely dead.

Alright, thanks.
I guess I'll leave this topic open for people to discuss weird USB devices they found in their devices too
