Thanks Davy,

I've got a whole heap of UMC sets, all with SSB issues. Have copied and pasted Eeproms from similar sets, but they're never quite right, even with same size sets with identical screens as something is always different depending on the 'Maker's' badge on the front.

I'm really happy to get a Vestel, Sammy, Panasonic or an LG, as at least with an LG you can cook it if the HDMI drops out. Used to like Sony but recent SSB's have been a problem - Chris.

I got the impression from UMC the firmware go's by the serial number, I could be wrong here.

I noticed when trying to do an update via USB stick it puts a empty MST folder, is this supposed tp be empty? No way can I get it to accept data, keeps coming up with 'Software update not found', according the the service menu the firmware is listed as-:

CVT_MSD306_2X(CVT_PVR_306A1.Bin) Checksum 95C3

Getting a service manual for this 'particular' model is like getting rocking horse manure, getting hold of a MSD306 mobo is entirely different than the MSD306-2B, they sure make servicing hard work.

Thanks Davy,

My duff UMC don't fire up so can't use USB even if they have it. Try copy Eeproms from one to another, they then mostly fire up but with issues I can't correct . A recent famed 40 inch single panel UMC Bush was in where where nothing could rescue it - Spent rather a lot on Eeproms, uploaded files to Quuq in case they work for someone. though not for me.

Showed the chap in the shop how to recognise any UMC from the back, then lock the door - Chris.

Davy:
I just had an email this afternoon from UMC team, when I enquired last I told them what was happening and that I was about to try a earthing test with some dynamite....  they  emailed wanting to know the model, product code and serial number - again!!!!

I know Crimbos round the corner and I told them I suspected a corrupted eprom, leave me wondering if Daddy Christmas gonna come early, "I'm dreamin of a brand new eprom", or izzit "I'm dreaming of a brand new mobo"?  I mean, I did tell them it wouldn't flash so I reckoned a bit pointless sending me a new bin file..... might even be sending me a dustbin purrit in eh?.

Oh well stay tuned....!

Hi Dave, that's almost poetry, but doesn't help sort the unsortable.

The thought of an 'UMC Team' defies logic, as they're cobbled for pence in China than sent to Eastern Europe to be assembled by folks who don't have a clue then despatched to the UK for folks who don't give a shit to sell 'em.

Sammy chap myself, though those missiles from the North are teasing - Chris.
