    GVA 50FDLED half on - eeprom?

    Posted about this set last July when it was slow to turn on but otherwise operated normally. The turn on time got worse so opened it up to find swollen capXon. Put it aside until recently I recapped the PSU tand reassembled for testing - still no turn on just a steady red standby light but all voltages were up on the PSU . 24v reads 23.8 , 12v reads 13 , 5v reads 5.2 apart from on/off 4.6 and led lead has 89v. So the PSon has worked but nothing else as main is not sending BLon an Adj voltages nor anything to T-con. I forced backlight on no problem so I'm happy PSU is OK.
    The main is T.MSD306.69A 12023 and screen T500XVN01.0 and this main is used in many different branded sets including Bush Teac etc and has a history of eeprom problems as kits are advertised. I checked obvious things on main such as 3.3v to u8 and 1117 regulators reading correctly. Just seems that main processor isn't completing the turn on as the red standby doesn't change to green and set unresponsive to any button or to remote. Have tried heat, freeze, short pins 5 6 on eeprom but no change. Of course no firmware support found.
    Does anyone have any input re this main or advice or suggestion ?

    I'm having trouble posting pics as I get them ready for upload but then an advice comes up " faster page loaded " and everything then locks up and post disappears!!

      Try and find a dump and remove program yourself or buy the eeprom already programmed.
      I had to replace the eeprom on one of those boards as it had failed. Even programming it with the proper file didn't work. Wasn't anything special, one of the common laptop eeproms.

        Pics I hope. Main is mounted upside down in rear cover when set closed up I turned it here for testing.

          Sounds like eeprom

            Yep, looks the same as the one I replaced the eeprom on.

                Thanks guys yes it seems little doubt re corrupted eeprom U8. I had emailed ohmsupplies only yesterday as saw they advertised replacement for same make 32" screen whereas I have the 50" so awaiting reply and I don't care what logo first comes up on screen. Also have chance of fix or replacement board but cost about $120 so tossing that around in my mind.

                  Just to finish off this post the set is up and running normally again. Robert of Adelaide TV Spares and Repairs got a same good main board into stock so I sent mine over for him to compare and fix or replace $80 plus postages. Good quick service and he keeps a good number of boards (see Gumtree). One interesting point is my board sticker had a wrong identity on it for screen (32 instead of 50) so either mislabeled or past problems with main which may then have been replaced and reprogrammed.

                    Did you get another board or same board back? Was eeprom the problem?

                      Same board and yes eeprom I'm sure no sign of any work otherwise.
