    Having trouble updating firmware. Panasonic TC-P42C1

    I've followed the installation instructions. The files are on the SD card. The tv recognizes the SD card but opens it in a photo viewer and says there are no photos to view. Will the TV ignore the files on the SD card if they are the same as the ones already installed?

    Try formatting it with this utility and then copy the files to it.

    https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

    Also make sure there are no folders on the SD card, the firmware update should be located on the root (top level) of the SD card file structure.

            Firmware needed for A Panasonic TX-55FX555B 4K HDR TV
            by l3emarsh
            I have a Panasonc/vestel 55" 4K HDR TV and I need A copy of the Firmware.

            I replaced the main board and someone gave me a 43" FINLUX firmware as it is a Panasonic Vestel version, it got the TV working again but the PIP will not work, I can only assume that it's because the Firmware thinks it is 43" tv?

            I was greatfull for the TV to be workng again and it's been okay, but now I want to get it set up correctly.

            If anyone has a copy of the firmware I need PLEASE help me out and send me A copy.

            Greatfull for any help.

            Anker SoundCore 2 Bluetooth Speaker Turns Off After a Few Seconds (Possibly Firmware Issue?)
            by zklgfs
            Hi,

            I have an Anker SoundCore 2 (A3105) that I saved from the trash (well, I guess there's a reason why it was supposed to go into the trash...). The problem is that it always turns off after a few seconds (sometimes it stays on a bit longer, between 30 and 60 seconds, but it still turns off). The power light turns on and the bluetooth light starts blinking, but both abruptly turn off again. The "turn off sound" is still played after the lights turn off. Sometimes, it also loops the on-off cycle several times without me pressing any buttons. If I connect an AUX cable, music...

            panasonic tx-55fx555b firmware issue
            by Chrissygizmo
            Hi all, am posting this for a friend so I don't have any photos of boards or anything, I know I should have all the information at hand with photos etc but I just thought I would try to find him the firmware he needs, I saw a thread on here where a user named "Diah" sent links to "l3emarsh" for the same firmware...

            Basically, the standby light is constantly flashing & after reading posts on different sites I've come to the conclusion that it most likely is the firmware...

            Any help would be appreciated

            Thanks in advance

            AOC AG493UCX 49-inch monitor - Firmware request
            by wattage
            Hello Badcaps Community,

            I purchased a preowned AOC monitor that is not working and out of warranty. It was sold as not working. I am looking for guidance on self-repair. In particular, I am after the firmware for the monitor. At the end, I have included monitor model information and links to pics and vids of the issue.

            The problem is that it will not display a picture on any of its inputs. And the on-screen menu does not appear. The power button works properly. It powers on with the remote as well. But the on-screen menu does not appear, even when not connected to any...

            Updating Firmware on Toshiba 65X9863DB
            by merravid
            Hi,

            I have a flashing green/red light on this model which then goes to fixed red. No display whatsoever. Voltages at the power supply look OK, so I'm guessing it is a motherboard/firmware issue.

            I've downloaded the firmware for the model and serial number which contains three files:

            mb130_en_bin.gz
            mb130_PM51_connected.bin
            mb130_RomBoot.bin
            usb_auto_update_g10.txt

            Looking at the script file, it look like it wants mb130_en_bin.bin, which is inside the .gz, so I'm guessing I need to extract that before trying to flash?...
