REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

LG L30W26 - LG L30W36 - LG MW30LZ10 - LG MW30LZ12 - LCD DIRECT VIEW TVs - FIRMWARE UPDATE



FIRMWARE UPDATE

FIRMWARE UPDATES VIA MEMORY CARD
Firmware can be updated using a memory card on newer LCD TVs that feature a memory card reader.  When a memory card is inserted, the TV will look for any firmware updates located on the card. If it doesn’t find an update newer than the version on the TV, it displays the normal media menu for displaying photos or playing music from the card.

 SUPPORTED MEMORY CARDS

CHECK HARDWARE VERSION
Before updating the firmware, check the hardware version to be sure it will support the firmware you wish to install. To open the diagnostics screen, highlight the Cable icon in the user menu and then press the zero “0” button three times. The hardware version determines which firmware will work with that TV. If the hardware version is below 3.00, 3.13 is newest firmware that will work. For version 3.00, up to the 3.15 firmware will work. Version 3.01 does not currently need a firmware update since 3.16 is it’s original firmware.

FIRMWARE 3.18 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
For some models, firmware release 3.18 has different versions for different model revisions. Check the suffix of the TV and use the list below to determine which update to use. You will find the suffix on the back of the TV next to “Product Code”. You can use either method to install the firmware, just make sure you use the correct file. A memory card received from LG will have the files for all three suffixes on it, use the Expert Method to choose the correct firmware to install.
slusllm - 3.18.3
spusllm - 3.18.4
spusltm - 3.18.5
UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS - NORMAL METHOD
  • Copy the Firmware update to the memory card. This has already been done for you if the card came from LG Customer Service. The firmware file will have the file extension “.epk”. Only copy the firmware update for your model TV.
  • Turn the TV on and insert the memory card into the TV. If the firmware on the card is newer than the firmware in the TV, the following will be shown:

  • Press ENTER on the remote to begin the firmware update. The TV will restart automatically and show the progress of the update. Do not remove the memory card or remove power from the TV until complete.
  • The TV will show the following messages when the firmware update is complete:
  • Press ENTER. After restarting, the TV is ready to use.
UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS - EXPERT METHOD
Expert Mode will allow any firmware version on the card to loaded into the TV. This allows an older version of the firmware to be loaded when needed.
  • Copy the Firmware update to the memory card. The firmware file will have the file extension “.epk”. Only copy the firmware update for your model TV.
  • Turn the TV on and insert the memory card into the TV.
  • If a menu displays on the screen, exit out of that screen. Press the MENU button and highlight (scroll down to) the Option menu. Press the MARK button 7 times and the expert mode screen will appear.
  • Use the arrow keys to select the firmware update to install. Press OK and follow the prompts.
  • When the update is complete, press ENTER to restart the TV. After restarting, the TV is ready to use.
