Flashing TVs is a rather complicated process that requires you not only to have experience with flashing chips, but also special equipment. Before flashing, be sure to download the service manual for your model.
It is necessary
- - screwdriver;
- - programmer;
- - a computer;
- - firmware program;
- - service instruction.
Instructions
Step 1
Disassemble your TV and find its memory chip. To do this, use the service manual applicable specifically to your device model, otherwise you risk breaking the TV. It is not easy to get a service manual; moreover, the task is often complicated by the fact that it is often only in the manufacturer's language.
Step 2
Purchase a special chip programmer. You can find it in radio stores in your city or assemble it yourself if you have the skills to work with such devices. To do this, first download the diagram from the Internet.
Step 3
If possible, purchase a replacement chip for your TV. This will be convenient for saving a new version of the firmware to it. And if something goes wrong after updating the software, you can simply replace it with the old one without changing the firmware.
Step 4
If you still did not find a replacement chip for your TV, connect the old one to the programmer, run the pre-downloaded software on the computer, merge the information into the computer's memory. This must be done without fail, as updating the software does not always have the best effect on the operation of the device.
Step 5
Reprogram the TV memory chip and insert it back into the device. Check the correct operation for every moment of using the TV. If you are satisfied with everything, secure the lid and leave everything unchanged. If after updating the firmware you observe unstable operation, replace the chip with an old one or flash it with an old version.
Step 6
If you have not previously encountered programmers and software firmware, contact the service centers in your city for assistance from specialists. Do not reflash your TV unnecessarily and try to disassemble it less often.
