    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
