    Sylvania LC427SSX FIRMWARE - Anyone Have it?

    After a call to Sylvania today, it is apparent that I am not going to be able to get any firmware from them. According to 2 customer support people, and a manager, they no longer have access to firmware for their tvs.

    I am having a problem with the Audio not coming back up after restarting the tv on the HDMI ports. Seems there is an update 1.6 that is supposed to fix this.

    This is same chassis as the Magnavox 42MF438B/F7, I am wondering if I can flash it with this firmware.

    I seem to keep answering my own questions here lately
    Anyway. The Magnavox firmware DOES work. It only needs to be renamed.

    Magnavox file: M42OS_107_AB.ecc
    Sylvania file: L42OS_107_AB.ecc

    Software History
    Version 1.4 Audio missing on some analog cable channels.
    Version 1.5 No picture when some DVD players are connected using HDMI.
    Version 1.6 Missing audio or video when switching from one HDMI input to
    another.

    I have included the firmware file here.
    Maybe this will help someone.

        USB. Copy the firmware file to a FAT32 formatted Flash Drive. Turn off the tv before inserting the flash drive. Turn on the TV and it should pop up with a message to update the firmware on the screen.

        One note: Although this worked great for my Sylvania TV, when I go into the menus, it shows Maganvox. Not a biggie for me, but it may not be great for a customers TV.

        This DID fix my audio problem.

            I know I'm a bit late to this forum, but can anyone else like Neonpeon confirm that the remote stops working after the update of the firmware?

              I know it's long since past this being posted. But just for anyone who comes across this as I did. I can confirm that this does in fact causes the oem remote to no longer work. I would also like to add though, if you attempt to use a universal remote you must connect to it as a Magnavox. But it works great.

                Ubiquiti firmware help. US-8-150W POE
                by gurj1979
                Hi guys.

                I've got a Ubiquiti US-8-150W POE switch which has issues with updating the firmware.
                Turned out to be a bad EEPROM chip. It would read the firmware and work as normal, but failed to write new firmware to it.

                So I took off the chip and read on EEPROM and saved it. Wrote to old chip and failed to write
                Got New chip and writes good.

                THE PROBLEM...
                It fails to fully load the firmware, POE lights fail to work during g firmware test during load. I'm suspecting bad EEPROM Read.

                Does anyone have a Good Firmware I can have?...

                NP930XED Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro Laptop PD Firmware Loop
                by sikocan
                Hello,

                I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a recent experience I had with a laptop that had a Type-C Port issue, specifically related to a PD (Power Delivery) controller problem. After replacing the damaged PD controller chip with a new one I purchased from AliExpress, the laptop now charges properly and negotiates power as expected, allowing the device to power up. I've replaced this chip twice just in case.

                However, it seems that the laptop's BIOS is detecting an older version of the PD Firmware on the newly installed chip. As a result, it attempts...

                1. SIO_3VA ON
                2. ATX_5VSB ON

                Problem:
                RSMRST Incative. (Obviosly everything dead)


                Tried just for fun to update the BIOS with its Bios flashback function (Push button and USB stick with bios in it).
                Main Bios restored succesfully.
                When updating Bios all the voltages comes on except PCH which is not needed.

                ME Firmware Cleaning Guide
                by SMDFlea
                Here`s a quick ME Firmware cleaning guide.

                The guide is basic,its main goal is to show you how to use intel FIT,its highly recommended that you all follow the guide posted at win-raid

                (The attached FIT version is 11, if your ME Firmware (FW) is not 11.0.*.* follow the win-raid guide. Use the tools version for your ME FW, for example: ME System Tools v9.1 For systems running ME v9.0 - v9.1)


                A video,software (intel FIT) and practice bios are all included. I`ll post a better video and more advanced guide at a later date.


                1. Open the...
