    Lg 42px5d-eb red sparkles

    hello all

    hope you can point me in the right direction!

    as mentioned in the header i have the dreaded red sparkles on my plasma tv

    i have tried adjusting the voltages as mentioned in others posts but have yet to banish these little sparkles.

    my next port of call is to flash the new red sparkle resolving firmware onto the unit
    i just need to know which firmware i need to aquire and because i havnt got the use of THE JIG will need to remove the ic and program it with one of the many programmers we have at work or i could flash direct if wired to the ic?

    my model no: dosnt seem to be listed amongst the firmwares on the SVC ROM MASTER SHEET

    please help or guide as im without a tv untill its sorted!!!!


    many thanks

    Hi,

    I'm trying to flash 42LC7D (LCD) and have found the following page:

    http://us.lgservice.com/vchip_html/V..._your_set.html

    Your model is listed at the bottom, however there is no direct download for it. You'll have to call them as instructed I think.

    Do you have USB port?

        The software update is for the PDP logic board to correct sparkle problems, not the main board V-chip software. LG has a USB jig for authorized LG servicers to update the logic board.
        I would recommend you call around your area for a LG warranty servicer and see if they have the jig and can do the upgrade.

            Someone here, though I have no idea who, supposedly does it for a fee. I'm watching to see if they chime in because I could use it too.

              I believe one of the members that has the jig is "muskin".

                this thread is starting to sound promissing

                i would be willing to cover postage to and from if someone wants to program my board for me!!!

                thats just the board though as it would cost me a fortune to send the whole tv lol

                  [Help] Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE05 (DA0LS3MBAF0) – 25Q80DVN1G Flash Is All FF, USB-C PD Stuck at 5V
                  by ekozeko333
                  Hi all,
                  I’m trying to recover a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE05 with board DA0LS3MBAF0 Rev:F. I’ve run into an unusual issue where USB-C PD is stuck at 4.7–5V and the system won’t boot (keyboard lights flash briefly, then nothing).
                  🔥 The Problem Started After Suspected ESD/PD Fault
                  I experienced a power issue or ESD event through a USB-C charger
                  After that, the NX20P5090 power switch was visibly burned and was replaced
                  Now the PD controller always negotiates 5V @ 2A, even with known-good chargers
                  🧠 What I’ve Done So Far

                  Nikon D800 camera - flash don’t work and capacitor don’t charge
                  by corrize
                  Hello, I'm stuck in troubleshooting…
                  The flash system works like that : when the (mechanic) flash button is pressed, the flash mecanically pop up, and a circuit buck boost elevate 7v (batt) to 200-300v (?) for charging the big capacitor. And when the photo shoot button is pressed, the capacitor is discharged in the xeon light.

                  In the D800, there is a first « power board » close to the battery. 2 wires (batt 7v) goes to another little « flash board ». I measured 7v, so ok.
                  When I press the flash button, it's detected by the system, flash icon appear on LDC display....

                  Canon VIXIA HF S10 A read data from inernal flash memory.
                  by abajor
                  Hello I've had somebody bring in one of these charming little cameras to attempt retrieving data from the internal 32GB flash.
                  Something is damaged inside the cameras lens assembly I can hear it clunking around and it has probably dislodged the sensor, powering up the camera gives a blank screen and the focus motor sounds like it's having a fit.
                  The camera will not connect to a computer via USB in this state, I have no options no navigation, just power up and focus/zoom motor noises.

                  I think my best shot is to figure out a way to read the internal flash memory outside...

                  by Ihandyrepair
                  HI guys

                  I got here a Sony 65X950G - I tried to find any repairs guides for this model but not many online

                  here is the issue
                  I have Sony and android logo. but then 4 led red flash lights front of the tv

                  I have 3.3v ref. 12v reg then T con 12v when I press the power on button
                  but then I get black screen and 4 red flash light at the front LED
                  but I get 3 led flash on the LED driver board.

                  I check that few X900F or C YouTube repairs, seems that if you have 4 led red flash it could be due of LED black light error
                  so I tried...
