Hisense LHD32A300 not turning on (need EEPROM help)

[Dannyx]

Good day folks. Hopefully someone can provide a bit of help on this Hisense TV I got. The problem is as follows: the red LED on the front comes on red when you plug in the TV, but it doesn't respond to the keys on the side. The only way to turn it on is via the remote and even then there's nothing coming up on screen, despite the LED turning blue and the backlight flashing a few times. I'm pretty sure it's a firmware issue. The board is a T.MSD309.BA6S and I couldn't find too much about it. I did find some dumps for other T.MSD boards used in other brands like Blaupunkt, but not this exact one. The TV doesn't work anyway, so feel free to suggest stuff even though it may not work. Hopefully someone has this board on another brand and can help. Cheers.

You tried freezing eeprom

No I have not. What I did try was rather silly: pulled it out, erased it and put it back in, hoping it would be the same as a Samsung, but no - of course not. Now the LED stays blue all the time and that's it. No worries though, as I DID back up the original EEPROM of course, so it's just a matter of writing it back. However, given that a blank EEPROM did not solve anything, I doubt freezing it will do any better, since isn't that the equivalent of removing the chip or having a blank one on there ? Feel free to correct me...I believe Reecey (hope I spelled his name right ) has worked with low quality boards enough to set me straight on this. Cheers.

Well you would have to write it back for freezing to work, but if you read it without it working I doubt if freezing would work. If it was corrupted and you could make it work by freezing then the only way you could get a good read would be removing freezing and then reading
