Hi! I just told you I cannot put it into SAM mode! TV won't even BOOT!! I guess that by the time when it inquires Ethernet controller on the I2C Bus, it stops when there's no answer from that IC (cause it doesn't exist), and after a minute or so with just blue led and no picture, it automatically switches off, then on again with blue light and no picture for about 3-4 seconds and off for good. Only ON/OFF switch on the TV set itself can be used to power it on again.
Nobody messed the option code for the screen, screen is still available but only in FW UPGRADE MODE (remote in DVD mode, OK kept pressed and put mains ON => TV goes into FW upgrade mode, with picture on the screen and all, but from this state I cannot visualize anything else on screen, nor can I induce SAM or SDM by any means when TV is in FW upgrade mode). Thank You!
