UN32F5000 Boot Loop

[no1tmorrow]

So I have a UN32F5000 that chimes and then like 20 seconds later it chimes again. I don't ever see anything on my screen. I was going to try the eeprom fix but can't find my model in the wiki or here to help me locate the pins to short. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Since I didn't get any suggestions on my issue I wanted to ask a follow up. Can I just replace the main board on the TV to fix the boot loop?

Thanks
Thom

Eeprom fix does help only if you messed up something in service menu. If you not - this will not help.
Yes, you can replace mainboard (just plug and play) from another UNxxF5000, where xx - 32-55.

Thank you so much for the reply.

I was told that someone tried a some firmware usb update and this happened.

Also attached is a photo of what I think is the eeprom. If it is does anyone know what pins need shorting?

Thanks

It should be the pins closest to the left side of the photo at least it was for me, I tried every combination I could and that worked for my UN32F5500AF

So do I short the two x or x and v?

Thanks

The two x's right after you press power.

Wait I can't really see the picture.. What chip did you highlight? It looks like the winbound. It's supposed to be the atmel one send me the chip # and I'll try and look it up
