[Mikeyboy2007]

Hi guys i have 2 replica tvs with same panel, main etc.

i have updated one of the boards and the screen is flipped upside down.

my question is, can i backup the firmware on one through the service menu and then reinstall the firmware on the other tv ?

If they're the same yes, it may require a cheap usb $14.00 spi flash device from ebay to do the backup and transfer. Unless your tv has a backup feature in menu.

Take a photo of the main and we will point it out for you. Good clear straight shot high res photo.

17MB6x Vestel uses two NAND devices for firmware, one for mboot and one for the main application,.
Main application one is much larger, TSOP48 package (google it), typically near the Freeview card slot.
Mboot one not a concern if the set is running, has little to do with the operation once it's booted.
