Samsung D series FBr fix discussion - Page 10

I went from 11-05-06 to 11-11-04.

But I wonder if our community might be shooting ourselves in the foot a little bit here. Samsung is probably tracking how many jump drives they send out, right? But they probably aren't tracking how many people post here. And they can't possibly be tracking how many people use the fix found here but don't post to report back. I'm very thankful for everybody that helped us get here, and I'm thankful that zoyd has provided the necessary files to prevent us all from having to wait for Samsung to take their sweet time mailing out our jump drives. But I wonder if we should all go contact Samsung now and ask for them anyway. What do you all think? That way they'd have some way of knowing that people really do want this fix. Effort put into making a better display really is appreciated by their customers.

Panel Type: DS
File used: 59DS_ITOless_DeepBlack.bin => Renamed to LOGIC.bin

After I applied the file, I see better black levels than before. Colors are more vibrant.

Thanks Zoyd!

So you're running FW version 1015 with the updated 11-11-04 logic code rather than the 1014.6?

Software Version: T-MST4AUSC-1019.5, BT-G

Prior to logic board update:
Logic SW Version 11-06-07
Logic SW CheckSum 0x2E12

After the logic board update:
Logic SW Version 11-11-04
Logic SW CheckSum 0x3796

I used the 64DS_ITO_Deepblack.bin file.

So far I have not seen any pops! One note during the update procedure, my set showed "Upgrading"...not "Updating".

Thanks again zoyd and anyone else that contributed to this effort!

Thanks for posting. I am going to try this too on my Pn64d550.

Can someone please EXPLAIN the emulator piece of the direction. I downloaded the file. Is this supposed to run from your laptop? The rest makes sense but I want to be sure before I begin. thanks

Tonight I plan on trying to update the logic board per your instructions.

One thing I'm a bit unclear about (apologies):

The way I'm interpreting your OP is that I should end up with one folder with one file inside the folder on the USB when I am ready to run the emulator?

PDP_LOGIC(folder)---->LOGIC.bin(file)

I would then run the emulator per your instructions. If I receive an error then I try the less_black file and repeat the emulator steps.

Is my interpretation of this correct? Thanks a ton for all of your help.

I have the emulator communicating with my TV via the wifi USB adapter (the 550 doesn't have built in wifi). I'll give it a go if I can get the specifics. I updated the tv FW already. Didn't get optimization and have 1019.5.

Make sure you have done the following on the TV

Menu -> System -> Remote Control Management = ON

On the PN59D6500, this setting is not under Network setting.

Once you are connected (you may need to supply the IP address of the TV), click Info and then Factory in quick succession on this Remote Control Keyboard on your Laptop. This will bring you to the service Menu on the TV.
