C series over Hotel Mode - tutorial clarification

[juusso]

Hi,
Probably I bricked my LE37C630 last night. Tv has been restarted and does not boot from usb. Red light blink few times, black screen and nothing. I will try with ex link today.

What did you do after it started to rebooting?

13. Exit from Hotel mode:

Code: Select all

Mute-1-1-9-Enter

set to off
Hotel Mode ? Off
14. Attach USB to TV and import channel settings to TV. Everything must work without errors.

How to close Hotel Mode menu?

Normaly by entering

Code: Select all

 Mute-1-1-9-Enter

or over Service menu.

I can turn off Hotel Mode but I'm still there.

I can`t explane why doesn`t it switch off...

What I did is turning TV off, and then normal menu was available again. (However was it correct way?)

If you got working tv with switched off hotel mode, i think, way is quite normal

16. Import HotelMode settings you exported before (as is, with directories) ("Clone USB to TV")

I ment - you have to restore your channels back (use settings you exported to separate USB) else you have to scan it ...

I hope that my TV is recoverable and ExLink si able to fix that, then I would try hack again.

Hmm.... Probably you`re wrong. Sadly we can`t repair bricked C series TV`s at home. But here is some emergency exit described on wiki, sometimes it works...
