    Samsung LCD LE40R86BD firmware update

    Hello!
    I got two of these sets with the same fault. After the ordinary secondary capacitor failure, it seems some memory or firmware on the mainboard got corrupt and the sets won't start-up correctly.
    The powersupplies are repaired and working (verified in another working set).
    So, my question is how it's possible to update the firmware, and in this way try to restore the operation. According to the service manual, I need a special PC software and cable, to perform this.
    Any advice is appreciated.

      The odds are that you're not going to find a way to flash this firmware without more hardware. It's probably going to be cheaper just replacing that board. It sucks, trust me I know. I once trashed a monitor for just that reason, but that was only a monitor. Maybe a factory reset possible in a hidden menu??

          I know that service menu has a factory reset option, but to reach this I must at least have the screen on for a while...
          That's not possible today, unfortunately.

              Something magic occoured when I was trying to power up one of those sets. It began the usual sequence, relay clicking, no picture, when it suddenly came up with a very very dark picture. Though I was directly passing on the service menu and took a good look on several parameters. Obviously the memory was corrupt, since there was a lot of incorrect data, like panel size 26", should be 40", panel maker was incorrect. I poked around for a while, to readjust the obvious stuff, then did a "factory reset".
              Set came on, and haven't been possible to get in failure mode ever after
              The other, identical set, fails to start the inverter (so this is a completely different problem, though acting just like the first one with a clicking relay)
              The inverter gets a power on signal, but as there are no feedback voltage, the inverter is stopped soon. It's a pity I cannot measure higher waveforms than 1500V peak so I don't dare hooking up my o-scope across the HV transformer output. Though, keeping the probe near the transformer reveals a switching waveform which is syncronized with the inverter attempts to start up. But then I don't know. There are a standing board, with a lot of high voltage transformers on it, maybe there are a problem in this area.
              I appreciate any advice,

                  Maybe that set was worked on before and someone switched the board from a different unit. The board containing the firmware could have been from a 26 and maybe thats enough of a difference in the firing circuit for the CCFL's. Just a guess.

                      Hi,

                      I'm hoping someone with access to the Samsung GSPN can help me. I need someone with access to download a firmware file for my PN63C550 TV, as it will fix a problem per the Samsung service bulletin.

                      ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 1: keyboard after firmware update without function
                      by rumpumpel1
                      Lenovo System Update offered me an update for the firmware of the Folio keyboard for my X12 Detachable Gen 1. The update got stuck and after 20 minutes I switched off the laptop. Since then, the keyboard and touchpad have been without function. Does anyone know how I can revive it?

                      Sony KDL-46HX850 Can't upgrade/update firmware
                      by dkneyle
                      Diagnosed this TV as having a failed main board which I've replaced with one from a KDL 55HX850. They are (supposedly) the same board.

                      Being 'Smart TV' it requires a firmware reboot when you swap out boards such as T-Con or main board. It starts with a black screen and flashing yellow and green LEDS, indicating it needs that firmware boot. The procedure described all over the web is to put the software into the root directory of a FAT32 formatted USB drive and it should load that up once plugged into USB1 port. But not for me. I can see the LED on the USB chip flash for about...

                      Samsung UEMU6199U - no Standby - bad Firmware?
                      by Mirenia
                      Hi everyone,
                      I've got a Samsung UEMU6199U which has no Standby LED and no reaction if try turning it on.
                      Voltages on the power supply board is okay. Backlight test is also okay.

                      I read about a corrupt firmware on IC1604 on some models, did a dump of this IC and turns out: First sectors are empty.
                      So I think my TV has exactly this issue.

                      Can someone please fix the dump?

                      And how do you do that?

                      As I understand you fill in the empty sectors and leave the rest as it is. But where do you get the "information" of what you...
