So i have a really old 42lc7d tv which had the caps replaced and the hdmi ports repaired. The tv still works well. The one problem im having is when i try to use the firestick, the firestick splash screen will come up and then the screen goes black. I tried all of the resolution settings on the firestick and none worked. Im thinking it could be a problem with the handshake. I know the ports work because other devices work on them. Im thinking a firmware update might fix it but i see lg removed firmware from their site for this tv. Im wondering if there is any online database for older firmware for this model or if a software upgrade will even fix it.

Re: Lg 42lc7d
and your firestick works fine on another tv? -
Re: Lg 42lc7d
had a similar issue about 6 years ago with a sony kdl, its kind of hazy now, but every time I would pick hdmi then try powering firestick the screen would blank out, like maybe the mainboard just couldn't handle that extra stress or something, tv played fine from antenna also. I didn't have an extra hdmi device to try at the time I was messing with it, I think I replaced the mainboard to fix it.Last edited by nomoresonys; 03-24-2022, 05:14 PM.Comment

Re: Lg 42lc7d
ya It works fine on another tv. I tried two firesticks on it actually and both did the same. Im not replacing the board. Not worth it in my opinion. It seems like after the firestick splash screen that the resolution changes and the tv cant adjust to it. Other hdmi devices work. The satellite receiver works fine.Comment

Re: Lg 42lc7d

Hi guys.
I've got a Ubiquiti US-8-150W POE switch which has issues with updating the firmware.
Turned out to be a bad EEPROM chip. It would read the firmware and work as normal, but failed to write new firmware to it.
So I took off the chip and read on EEPROM and saved it. Wrote to old chip and failed to write
Got New chip and writes good.
THE PROBLEM...
It fails to fully load the firmware, POE lights fail to work during g firmware test during load. I'm suspecting bad EEPROM Read.
Does anyone have a Good Firmware I can have?... -
Hello,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a recent experience I had with a laptop that had a Type-C Port issue, specifically related to a PD (Power Delivery) controller problem. After replacing the damaged PD controller chip with a new one I purchased from AliExpress, the laptop now charges properly and negotiates power as expected, allowing the device to power up. I've replaced this chip twice just in case.
However, it seems that the laptop's BIOS is detecting an older version of the PD Firmware on the newly installed chip. As a result, it attempts... -

Here`s a quick ME Firmware cleaning guide.
The guide is basic,its main goal is to show you how to use intel FIT,its highly recommended that you all follow the guide posted at win-raid
(The attached FIT version is 11, if your ME Firmware (FW) is not 11.0.*.* follow the win-raid guide. Use the tools version for your ME FW, for example: ME System Tools v9.1 For systems running ME v9.0 - v9.1)
A video,software (intel FIT) and practice bios are all included. I`ll post a better video and more advanced guide at a later date.
1. Open the...
