Re: Hitachi 55" TV dead after 18 months (Vestel 17MB100)
I could and short all the other pins together. TP167 & TP169 are on the UART lines but the board isn't labelled. However there are two test points that connect to the correct pins on the cable SCART socket so it is a reasonable assumption that the UART lines come out as described in the manual. The boards over MB100 seem to only have two methods of software update FTP & USB but both methods require a working TV screen where I only have a flashing LED. Maybe the code doesn't get far enough to log anything although I would guess if it is flashing the LED it is in the search for code mode or in to the software update mode.
Given that I have put an Hitachi 17MB120 from a 48" TV in place of 17MB100 for a 55" TV and it works isn't it more likely any 17MB100 board would take the Hitachi USB code and work or does it have to be Hitachi because the boot loader software from a different manufacturer might be different?
