Upgrading of each microprocessor software
CAUTION: Never “POWER OFF” the unit when software upgrade is ongoing. Otherwise the system may be damaged beyond recovery.
Software
version upgrade
The model employs the following software.
• Main software (please use a software version after ASTN_UQ17U_xxx.USB).
• Monitor microprocessor software (please use a software version after ASTNMxxx.SMB.)

Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode
1) Before entering the adjustment process mode, the AV position RESET in the video adjustment menu.
2) While holding down the “VOL (–)” and “INPUT” keys at a time, plug in the AC cord of the main unit to turn on the power.
The letter “<K>” appears on the screen.
3) Next, hold down the “VOL (–)” and “CH (Dn )” keys at a time.
(The “VOL (–)” and “CH (Dn )” keys should be pressed and held until the display appears.)
Multiple lines of blue characters appearing on the display indicate that the unit is now in the adjustment process mode.
When you fail to enter the adjustment process mode (the display is the same as normal startup), retry the procedure.
4) To exit the adjustment process mode
after the adjustment is done, unplug the AC cord from the outlet to
make a forced shutdown. (When the power was turned off with the remote
controller, once unplug the AC cord and plug it again. In this case,
wait 10 seconds or so before plugging.)
CAUTION: Use
due care in handling the information described here lest your users
should know how to enter the adjustment process mode. If the settings
are tampered in this mode, unrecoverable system damage may result.

Check MIRACAST HDCP (EQ/SQ/TQ/UQ models)
After
changing to New Main board , change "Model and Panel Size" and write
"Serial Number", then please check if MIRACAST HDCP is written or
not.
1) Models which MIRACAST HDCP is needed
EQ/SQ/TQ/UQ models should have MIRACAST HDCP written because they are models which have miracast feature.
Please check after changing main unit and make sure that MIRACAST HDCP is written.
How to check
1. Enter the adjustment process mode.
2. Look at MIRACAST HDCP on the 1st page.
Example: LC-60EQ10U
CAUTION: When
reusing the main units taken from other TV sets, be aware not to use
main units taken from TV sets of LE642UA/LE650UA/LE657UA models.
LE642UA/LE650UA/LE657UA models are shipped out with MIRACAST HDCP not written when production.)
Example: LC-60LE650UA

With any other passwords, the screen changes to the normal mode.
How to exit Public Mode
There are the following ways to quit the public mode setup screen.
• Turn off
“PUBLIC MODE” in the adjustment process mode. ( ) ← This way alone is
not for quitting the setup screen, but for quitting the mode itself.
• Turn off the power with the “POWER” key. ( )
• Select “EXECUTE”. ( )
“PUBLIC MODE” stays on in the adjustment process mode.
The settings will be back to the factory ones.
