[SOLVED] LE37B650T2W, widgets not working after repair
Posted: Sun May 30, 2010 10:27 pm
Hi everybody,
I need some advice. Just got my TV from repair recently, after power supply failure (due to line surge; it took 4+ weeks to finally establish the power company was the gulity party).
I'm pretty sure that only the the power board was replaced. Main board, complete with flashed SamyGo-patched firmware (2005.0), SamyGo extensions in content library, customized startup scripts etc. were apparently left intact by service center.
I was happy for a little while, until I noticed two things are not quite right after repair:
...
- widgets not working at all ("Not available" popup).
EDIT: Never mind, I followed (not to the letter, but still) service center advise, i.e: "please try to flash most recent firmware available for your TV model first". I flashed original unpatched 2005.0 firmware, and then patched 2005.0; looks like some NVRAM settings got reset after that, and now damn widgets are miraciously working. I don't care for widgets all that much anyway, but it was a little unnerving something was not quite right
