change the UED376000 to D6500

Post by trex2000 »

Hello.
Did anyone try to change the model name from D6000 to D6500 ?
I want to have skype support and It seems that this is the easiest way.
What functionalities do I loose ?
Are the 2 units different by the HW , or only SW changes ?

Best regards

Just only if you change mainboard from D65xx-67xx. No other way. It costs you ~ 100Euro (ask on local service or buy on the internet). All connectors are ok and fits well (as i made this replacement alredy by self).

I saw this post here:
viewtopic.php?t=2937
and it looked like the guy has changed the D6000 series to D6500 and the skype applet showed up... I thought it will work also on this one...

I see. That's bad news, as I've already ordered the CY-STC1100....:(

So I see in a different post that the skype widget was working with this method. Which is great news. I hope the camera will be also recognized...
But I was thinking..
I've tried the method described here :
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-E ... 3621.shtml
and the icon appeared but it doesn't run.
When examining the zip file, there is no 'executable' inside, just the icons and an xml which has a link to some strange website...

Is there any way to backup (copy) the widget from a supported and hacked tv , and then transfer it manually via FTP to this tv ? Maybe this way it will work , without changing the TV model...

I hadn't any success by running Skype on d6000 (same as 6100). Perhaps you are more lucky than me.

Is there a way to backup an installed widget and copy it over ftp to another device ?
This way the skype could be backed up from a working D6500 and i could try to copy it to the D6000 and see if this works.
