40ES5500 problems

Hello,

I am recently running into some problems with my 40ES5500. It reboots by itself without any reason, now it refuses to see the internet connection (it sees the LAN).

Can i make a FW downgrade or use an alternative FW? Is it possible tho flash the ES6500 FW to ES5500?

Or please give me some ideas on how to fix my current problems.

Thank you,

Both already have the same firmware, downgrade is not possible

Factory reset from service menu maybe?

I suspect you're comparing firmwares from different regions, they're not compatible between them :)

Don't update!!!! It won't help and it's not needed. Let's wait 1-2 days if Samsung won't resolve this I will release my fix (which already works here :D)

Unfotunately i am already on the latest version 2004.1. Let's hope they will fix it.

Is there any way to speed up the tv? SmartHub is painfully slow :(

I am surprised smart hub works for you :D Anyway to avoid future updates you should disable OTN Support as quickly as possible :)

It's also good habit (helps in some situations) to disable OTA Support :)
