K Model Service Menu

[sga]

I do not know how on the K-series, but on my router blocked 157.55.184.57 only this address and TV F and J series stopped asking for updates, and those addresses that used to be on the J series did not work.

Yes it's confirmed it will stop ASKING, it will silently auto updated when ASKED by Samsung

Built my little led gizmo today and delved into the extended service menu to see if i could find out why my smart remote wouldn't pair...

Found an option to enable/disable Samsung Smart Control and it was set to on. Thought maybe cycling it will help so set it to off and powered off. Now the bugger wont switch back to on. Im pretty certain im in the extended manager as its the only time that smart remote option appears.

When i have the normal service menu up Factory+3speed always makes the tv go into a test card mode showing red, blue, green, black and white screens and a simple information screen all in an endless cycle. i press power on my remote and it turns of after current cycle, when i boot back in i run info+factory again and seem to be in extended service menu still. am i doing it right?

If so is it maybe not going back to on because it senses something is wrong?

Thanks for reading.

Basically:
-INFO+MENU+MUTE+POWER from tv off, then FACTORY+3SPEED
equals
-INFO+FACTORY from tv on

Both are going into extended service menu.
When you're in "color cycling" mode, just press FACTORY again to get out of it. That's also how you can exit from service menu without powering off: press FACTORY twice.

I also has difficulty in this sequence for enable advanced menu, because lack the information about how proceeds after alternations of colors ( "just press FACTORY" to enter in advanced menu). This information could be included in the wiki STEP 3!

Everybody's free to update wiki, I really can't be everywhere (account on simple request)

Sorry no, try factory reset maybe.

No luck with the factory reset. Are there any screen dumps of default settings for service menu anywhere apart from this thread? im wondering if something else turns off/on with it.

i enabled advanced service menu (not sure how, i tapped 0 few times i guess that did it? thats weird seeing as i tried that before and nothing happened).

i guess there is no option there for CE Dimming either? i coudnt find any obvious options. This did allow me to up the color abit for when in PC Mode so atleast for gaming i am 100% happy now with the TV

if anyones interested i now know how i got into the advanced settings lol once you are in the service menu:

-go to 'SVC', then 'Other setting', then 'CAL Data restore'
-after this, click return until you are at the first menu and you should now see a 'Advanced' option at the bottom.. hover over it and click '0' four times. this should pop up more options

even existing options gain more settings. i found the local dimming setting! but turning it off resulted in a dim panel so had to turn it back on
