Sony KDL-37V5810

Aqquired this tv where its exactley the same as another post - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...ht=kdl-37v5810

However on mine, when its switched on, the green light comes on for about 20 - 30 seconds followed by turning to 8 red flashes.

Its exactley the same boards inside as the other post and all the voltages are there when turned on just like the other post pointing to a mainboard fault as in the other post too.

I have read a service bullitin that was issued regarding the software on the boards and for engineers to upgrade it using the Memory Stick slot located behind the Card slot.

It doesnt display anything on screen and doesnt light up, has anyone had any success with the Sony Mem Stick to re-program the tv? Only i cant seem to find any replacement mainboards

Here is a link to the firmware update but I don't think you can do the update unless the tv is working and you are able to see the menu.

Thanks, i already noticed that but i did find something better , i got the actual files for a mainboard reload plus the techs documents for install etc i'll try add the rar file with all the images, they do have to be loaded onto a old type Sony Memory Stick though, not sure if Mem Stick Duo will work

It also has software/firmware for various models from 32 inch to 50 inch it appears too

The file is about 65mb so im uploading to a file share thing and i'll share in a minute or two
