    Latest firmware for an LG PDP42X3 Plasma Control-Board for official SVC kit?

    Ive had a look on LG site--but it looks to be a service-subscription only type scenario.

    I have the (infamous) 42PC1D, with the PDP42X3 xx series panel--showing the red-dot syndrome of mal-discharge, needing a Control-Board firmware update to cure....

    Ive got the Blue-Chips/L.G. official SVC kit with the Update board, cables and CD, but the CD is dated 2007, It covers a lot of different models and versions of the PDP's including the one I need, but I'm guessing there must be a more recent version by now, and its not something I relish doing--twice......

    I have other faults on the set, so I'm going to look at that fault first, mentioned in a different thread, and then fire up my old laptop--as the driver software for the update-board is based on 32 bit, --wont work on win7!

    Any ideas?

      windows 7 does support 32 bit providing your running he x86 version and not the x64 but both should work anyway

      if you have issues try running it in compatibility mode
