    LG TV - change mod.number in service menu?

    Just a technical curiosity of mine:
    could it make any sense to try changing the tv set model number inside the service menu, for example choosing a model of the same series but higher end?
    Is such an operation possible?
    Could it enable some more software features and menus?

    Interesting theory. I've never tried it but thinking about it I don't think that is feasible.

      not at all, only benefit to change serial No. for example the last letters or No. in case you use Trail app from smart portal which give you one month free of use. each time you change SN you will get one more free trail

        Well, it's not a "theory" actually.
        I don't believe it myself.
        I'd rather call it just a... doubt I wanted to share with more experienced people.

          I was almost certain about that, actually.
          Let's say I had a little doubt; when software is involved, you never know...

          Just wanted a confirmation from more experienced people.

          Thanks

            TV Samsung UE55HU8500L (2014) – service menu + firmware reflashing advice needed
            by Robby-Gr
            Hi all,

            I’m trying to recover a Samsung UE55HU8500L (curved UHD, 4K model from 2014) after replacing the panel. The new panel is a 55A1UU8EH, which produces excellent image quality — very close to the original.

            However, since the swap, the TV enters a boot loop (Samsung logo → restart) unless I enter the service menu and perform a reset.

            The service mode had been previously modified — possibly by a technician or during the panel swap — and I suspect some key settings are mismatched for the European (Greece) market.

            Additional issues:...

            How to access Vizio m652i-b2 service menu
            by tusiime
            The current main board on my Vizio m652i-b2 only has 1 of 4 HDMI ports working. Also, the coaxial port is not working.

            So I ordered a replacement board. It boots up the tv, but the display is dark in areas, colors are off, etc. I have seen information online that a setting in the service menu may need to be adjusted. Have tried many ways to access the service menu using remote codes, but none work.

            Can someone here provide the confirmed method for accessing the service menu on this tv? Thanks in advance!

            Dell Latitude 5500 series change service tag (serial number)
            by techman125
            Hello.

            I hope I'm in the right forum.
            I have been searching for quite a while, before finding this site.
            I frequently replace mainboards in the Latitude 5500, 5510 and 5520 models.
            Changing the asset tag is pretty straight forward, but from what I've read changing the service tag isn't possible unless you can use a CH341A programmer and hex edit the bios.
            Dell would probably be able to do it but sending them a used board and paying them defeats most of the cost savings over new.

            While testing a used board and swapping parts, a 5510 just out of...
