Replace the epprom on the main board, these boards the epprom always seems to corrupt because the software is barly functional. I bet that if you replace it the tv will be back to life.

Before you try replacing EEPROM/flash memory IC...

Press INPUT 2580 on the remote (also try INPUT 3690/4725) to access service menu
Select "Factory Reset" or similar option, see if that works.

Re: Polariod le-22gbr+dvd

From what i think it reads Winbond 25Q32BVSIG eeprom found some on ebay but they need programming i think ?

Re: Polariod le-22gbr+dvd

Yes, will need programming.

It's a serial/SPI flash for the TV's software. EEPROMs are different and generally only store configuration. Most TVs will work with a blank EEPROM, as they will reset it with new data.

Re: Polariod le-22gbr+dvd

so correct me if it read your reply wrong i can order and fit a new eeprom and the tv will reset with new data ?

Re: Polariod le-22gbr+dvd

No....This is an SPI/serial flash. Stores software that the TV runs. So it won't work unfortunately.
If it *was* an EEPROM, that might work (on many sets it does)

Re: Polariod le-22gbr+dvd

Ok thanks tom so the only option is a replacement board ?

Re: Polariod le-22gbr+dvd

Yeah, pretty much - hardly worth it for a 22" set. Still, do try the reset first.
