Samsung LE32N73BD No longer showing freeview menus
Bambooz:
the cable shouldn't be a problem. If the TV has a 3.5mm headphone service jack, the cable is called ExLink

if it doesn't, it get's a bit hacky..

the main problem is getting the firmware tool and the firmware itself.
Haven't found anything in an hour worth of searching. Well actually i found the tool, but the download was taken down by Samsung (DCMA request) :(
Even if you found the tool somehow, you still don't have the firmware to flash it.. so it's kinda pointless.
Are all the LDO's working? I've had a Samsung LCD monitor once which went berserk because a 2.5V LDO was going down to less than 2V under load.
brainstorm:
Hi
Try putting the set into analogue and then carry out a plug and play

Already done Brian ...During Plug n Play setup ...the DVBt section of the tV isn't accessed ...
Its simply not recognised ..as though it doesn't exist ..
And yet a preprogrammed DVBt sub board borrowed from a 40 inch TV will bring up the missing menus ..and produce picture ..
Sadly that TV and its board has since been returned to the customer ..but it does prove the sets tuner (on the mainbaord) is ok ...and that the set _should_ be working in DVB mode ...but alas it looks like the option to activate it from plug and play is missing from the firmware ..
Round and round we go ...and I'm still convinced this is a corrupted firmware /flash (not eprom) issue ..

Thanks for all your searching m8 ..
Sounds like you arrived at the same conclusion I did ..
Samsung don't want this in the public domain ..
Either Flash tool ..or Firmware ..
Also ..fairly sure there are no faulty LDOs ...as I have had the dvb section working with a borrowed sub board ..
But can't activate dvb with its own board ..which is ok ...of that I'm sure too..

Just in case anyone is curious ..
I've spent hours searching ebay for a working board ...
Nothing at all
BN94-01077B
Not surprising as there must be hundreds of variations to this board ..
Some very similar ..but maybe 2 sets of phonos instead of 2 scarts etc etc ...
Anyway ..there is a picture ...but sadly not a board listed at Sendz..
Here is a link in case anyone wants to see the culprit ..
