ES5700 Model Number Hacking

[medion1804]

Hi Guys,

in the Wiki i read about the possibility of model number hacking -->

Code: Select all

What            ES5700  -->     ES6300
----------------------------------------
CMR             100Hz           200Hz
Full HD 3D      no              yes
Micro Dimming   no              unknown *
WLAN            no              yes **
----------------------------------------
* Catalogues give contradictory information, may only work on models with CMR=400Hz
** If WLAN module is installed by ordering spare-part. The ES5700 FW is already looking for WLAN!

The last entry in the Wiki from 20 December 2012 was -->

Of course, in order to do this you need to:

Change the Model Number and Panel Code in the Engineering Menu
Probably update the firmware to that model

This is work in progress... (more to come)

Now my question: is there any new information about this "project"? ...

I can?t belive that this should be so easy --> changing model number and panel code and updating the FW an everything is fine!?!? or does it?

ty in advance for ur answer

best regards

Hi Medion,

Iv changed my model version from 7000 to 7500 and 8000 in the service menu (accessible from the remote control) - looking at the serial debug output you can see that the model number has changed but so far no new updates have come through.
