PS64E8000 is it possible to unlock Expert?

Hi everyone, I?m new in here :)

Just bought PS64E8000(GSHHX) from Germany (I live in Finland).

I have calibrate all of my previous sets and going to do same also for this one.
It would be nice to use CAL-DAY and CAL-NIGHT modes for daylight and darker environments.

With European models Expert is grayed at service menu, so you can?t unlock N/D (cal-night cal-day).
Found your great instructions for IR transmitter from http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Remote ... m_IR_codes and build that (price 2.5 ?uro and took 15minutes).
Practiced/tried that with lower end model UE-32EH4005. Factory+3Speed combination file didn?t work for me so I played those files separately (from laptop headphones out) and that unlocked lot?s of stuff at service menu (like local area, model, PVR and so on. PVR didn?t worked with that model). However Expert was still grayed. Tried also Info (tried both remote and factory Info) Factory 3Speed combination but no success.

Next to the PS64E8000 and same situation, Factory 3Speed works and unlock things like Advanced at main menu (however when typing 0000 on that those 2D 3D settings are also grayed), model change etc. but Expert still grayed/locked.
Out of the box I set up TV with EU local setting and everything else worked fine but cable tuner tuned channels to wrong order. So I changed local from EU to Nordic and model from 8000 to 8005, after that factory reset and now it tuned channels just correct. I had FW updated to 2005 when it was at EU local setting but Samsung Nordic states that 2004 is latest for plasma, so I was little scared how it goes when change local to Nordic but happily it went just fine 8-) I suppose that T2 tuner is hardware thing? I?m at cable so no matter.

Question for advanced Samsung tweakers, is it possible to unlock Expert at service menu with European models without tweaked firmware?

Nope, i don`t remmember anyone has unlocked Expert. Just only Advanced was ok with 0000. Maybe we miss some important step here...
And thanks for service manual ;)

Ok thanks, shame that Samsung won?t let us Europeans use calibration modes, especially pro calibrators would like that so they could make different daylight and dark environmet settings for customers.

btw, Noticed that I can get over 170cd/m2 with Movie mode :shock:
Maybe that is thing which is changed at latest 002005 firmware.
