Hi all!
I got this PDLED3992A TV for free locally. No standby light. Would not power on. It has a single board inside that controls everything. I bought a replacement off of eBay, but the seller sent me the wrong part (my board is A13082443, they sent A13072083). The LED header for the board was in the wrong position. The seller refunded my money, so I decided to try to take the LED header off my old board and put it on this new board. Well, the TV powers up, but it looks like this board is configured for the wrong panel type (I looked up the part number and this board is designed for a 720p TV, while the one I have is 1080p)
So, I figured I'd poke around the service menu and see if I could change the panel type. I got into the service menu by pressing the menu button on the TV while typing 1147 on the remote. But, alas, I couldn't find the right setting. I didn't want to risk doing things like "Reset panel data" or "Reset firmware" because I wasn't sure what those would doe.
My questions...
-Does anyone know the right setting to set the correct panel type for my TV?
-Is it possible? Or do I need a new firmware or eeprom?
-If I need a new firmware or eeprom, does anyone know where I can get the firmware? Will that work? Or even if I update the firmware, will I still need a new EEPROM?
-If I need a new EEPROM, does anyone have the correct EEPROM image for this TV?
THANKS!
