Re: samsung syncmaster SA350 no picture

I guess you could try it... but without a firmware at all it may not detect at all and still not work.

Re: samsung syncmaster SA350 no picture

Hey!

I have two Samsung s27a350h monitors, that don't show any pictures, and won't accept a firmware update. I guess there is a EDID error. As I have understood, I need an EDID-file from a working similar monitor, but I can't find it anyware. Anyone here that can help me? Or may I use EDID-data from a different Samsung monitor?

The problem is that the computer recognizes the monitors, but the picture won't appear. I have tried windows vista --> 10 and Fedora 22. The "can't find the input" jumps around the screen. So the panel works fine :-) I want to try the EDID thingi before I use $100++ on new boards.

If I post the Raw data, will anyone here recognize any errors?

You can post the data and see, sure.

Re: samsung syncmaster SA350 no picture

I try to upload the report for both the HDMI and the VGA EDID.
It would be great if you could check it out.

Assuming that Hex dump came straight from your EDID ROM, then your EDID is probably OK. Might be something else wrong here although I don't know what. Maybe you have a system ROM problem.

Have you tried with something that will force output even if the monitor is not detected?

Are you sure it's corrupted? If you can't find a file, you probably have to buy that new EEPROM and compare.

Re: samsung syncmaster SA350 no picture

Hi everybody, maybe this information helps somebody:

I had the same problem with the monitor and the update tool said "firmware up to date" like for many others here.

The solution: the update tool seems to not work on Windows 10! After trying the same thing on a Win XP machine (nothing else changed), the update tool from samsung worked like I hoped and the monitor works again!

Re: samsung syncmaster SA350 no picture

I can confirm that the firmware update .exe supplied by Samsung
does NOT WORK with:
WIN10-64 => "no monitor to update or no monitor found"-message
Win7-64 => bluescreen :O

I set up an old notebook with WIN XP-PRO 32 and started the Samsung Firmware Update File:

THIS WORKS 100% !!!

I checked with both dead LS24SA350. Both are back in business now

Here are the details:
Both monitors were recognized by WIN10 and WIN7 via HDMI and VGA-port initially, but never showed a picture, only "check cable". I think that is a good sign though to move on with XP.

The notebook succesfully used was a medion MD98200 with intel 945 chipset, intel GMA 950 gpu and WINXP-Pro 32 SP2.
Appropriate XP-drivers had to be installed to activate the external VGA-Port in advance.
The SA350 was then connected via the external VGA-Port of the notebook.
The monitor installation file supplied by Samsung was then installed succesfully (choose analog).
Then firmware update was initiated and everything went fine.
After some minutes the updater finishes and the panel switches off.
Just switch it on again and see the light

Stay save
