Thanks a lot for your patience and help Diah.
Rufus formatted the drive with all the settings you adviced, including MBR.
I got no luck though, the TV keeps restarting itself. The usb drive blinks at each restart, that's all.
What I find strange is the TV starts as soon as I plug the cable in the outlet. Normally it should wait I start it from pressing the button or using the remote control. Stange.

I think we tried everything now.... I guess the motherboard is out.

I can't find the same online (the one in my OP has been sold meanwhile). I found this one on ebay the ref is almost the same, only the last character is different maybe it's an update of my board...
Do you think I could try it or it is useless ?

Thanks. I looked for MBR, and used my win10 disk manager to delete the volume on my usb drive, and then create another one in RAW format (MBR not available, neither with MSDOS diskpart).

use this Power small program °Rufus° to ready yours USB key als MBR.
from boot selection choice : Non bootable
Partition schema ; MBR
Target system: BIOS or UEFI
Volume lable : keep it blank or write Philips
File system : FAT32

if your usb key chip controller able for MBR it will do it ... after it finished the program will copy 2 files on the USB just delete them and paste your firmware..
good luck.

My disk is a 8gb it should be ok per philips instructions below.
Anyway no more luck unfortunately the tv ignores the usb drive.
Should I create a bootable usb drive with rufus for example?

Samsung instructions:
Instructions for Windows 10:

Connect the USB2.0 flash drive (4GB - 32GB) to the Windows PC / Notebook.
Open the Windows File Explorer.
Find the USB flash drive on the left column.
Right-click the USB flash drive (press right mouse button once).
Select “Format…”.
Click the button “Restore device defaults” once.
Open the drop down menu “File system” and select FAT or FAT32.
NTSF and exFAT will not work.
The “Quick format” option should be checked.
Click “Start”.
Click “OK” to confirm that you have read the warning.
A few seconds later the process should be done,
The USB flash drive is now ready for the software update procedure.

usb should be no bigger than 2GB and MBR mode formated fat32... search after MBR to know how you can do it.

Thanks Diah for your help.
I tried with several usb keys (not 2gb though). I also tried to boot while pressing to start button, nothing happens.
The tv start as soon as I plug it (nothing else is plugged to it), I don't even have to press any button on the remote, it starts right away, showing the logo, and rebooting endlessly.
I don't understand whay you mean by "its SW problem .. TV reboot of DVB-C CAT.. firmware 2.18 fix it " but honnestly I don't think it will change anything because it seems like the tv doesn't take the usb into account, it start right away, ignoring the usb drive.
It should be a hardware problem, the tv was working fine before this.
I wish I could be sure the motherboard I found is compatible

its SW problem .. TV reboot of DVB-C CAT.. firmware 2.18 fix it .. try usb key not bigger than 2Gb formatted fat32 in MBR mode.

Edit: an let the TV solo with out any other connected to it either your wall cable or air antenna

Hello,

My Philips TV 40PFL3148H/12 keeps restarting as soon as the Philips logo is displayed. After contacting their support, they sent me a file to try to correct the problem from a usb key but without success (8gb 2.0 key formatted in fat32).
They told me that it was a hardware problem.

So I found this motherboard:
715G6092-MOD-000-004N (WK:1322.3 )
Mine is :
715G6092-MOD-000-004K (WK:1322.3 )

The code is slightly different (one letter at the end) and I was wondering if it should work? Maybe it will just need the firmware of my tv to be reinstalled on this MB ?

Thanks for your help
