Re: lcd sony KDL-46EX645, ...standby light is on....will not power on..no clicks..

the firmware is like 1.57 something if i recall.....thats the current version and thats why it woudnt update....



and yes i asked the nickstv why its upside down ....and he kind og backtracked lol

he agreed to take the board back if i desire...i jsut want to make sure 100% since this board is almost impossible to find.......anywhere and if you do find them they are over 100.00 for some reason....i got it for 70.00 shipped

why is the board so costly??? the tv is only 3 yrs old......maybe not enough of them have broken yet so no parts around....supply demand?

the firmware version update link that bud m sent me and i downloaded was specifically for the 46 inch ex645 model and it matched the firmware that was already on the board i bought from the retailer who said it came from 50 inch model....so im baffled now

when i ran update on tv it basically prompted that update was not needed

Re: lcd sony KDL-46EX645, ...standby light is on....will not power on..no clicks..

budwich it would not allow update....it said no update needed and no prompt to do it

Re: lcd sony KDL-46EX645, ...standby light is on....will not power on..no clicks..

neither baord has sony part# on them...sony did not put part # on these baords.....but the pcb number is 1P-0125J02-4011 on both boards

and there is a white sticker with a number on it 0140AC0106 or 8 hard to see

but both boards do seem to be 100% match physically as retailer advertised...

attached it a photo of service menu screen its hard to make out since display is messed up but f anyone can direct me to where there may be an adjusment to fix the issue that would be great

im still thinking the board is bad or not compatible for some odd reason but ill try anything at this point and i rotated the pic 180 degrees so it can be easier to read since display on tv is upside down

so like most firmware / software, there are things that get initialized once a load has been installed. You might have to find a way to basically get the thing to reload, not an update but a "reload". Having said that, plan B would be to ensure that you have the right TV model identified in the load. Not sure what else might be "mis ided" / "mis-set" but that's the place to start.

hi not sure that can be done

im following specific instructions via sony and its automated

no options to choose from it just does it and it wont do it since it is updated with latest firmware

[budwich]

Re: lcd sony KDL-46EX645, ...standby light is on....will not power on..no clicks..

then you need to follow plan b.

Re: lcd sony KDL-46EX645, ...standby light is on....will not power on..no clicks..

hey i just noticed something....if u look at my service menu photo under panel selection it says 60.60xxxxxxxx

could that be something???

is the 60 referring to the 60 inch panel version?? or is that irrelevant?

[shelby5041]

Re: lcd sony KDL-46EX645, ...standby light is on....will not power on..no clicks..

according to shop jimmy the panel i have is correct

600D3LB4N

and this is the same number on my service menu so i guess thats also a dead end

Re: lcd sony KDL-46EX645, ...standby light is on....will not power on..no clicks..

I have not done an update on a sony tv but on other units / things. Currently you are asking the system to check if there is an update, but there isn't an update (you are already on the latest load). But there has to be a way to bring down the firmware and force the loading (actually reload).

Anyways, further in "plan b", you need to get into the "internal system settings" via the service menu and look at the settings on the card / system. As you have found, the software load is for multiples of tvs, BUT there are specific settings "inside" for each particular tv. You need to make sure yours are for your specific tv. Typically that's what would happen when a system is "initially" loaded... the specific "characteristics" are "bound in" to various parameters which may or may not be set via the service menu in some form. Much like software for windows x is for all computers, but during the install, specific characteristics for particular computer are "bound in" all sorts of places either directly or via "prompts" depending on the install scripts.

PS... we might be "passing ships in the night"

I think you are getting to your "dead end realization" way to quickly. I suspect you are just starting here based on the above find... that's what I have learned from this forum on past threads.
