Official Olevia 237T Owner's Thread - Page 49

Do any of the newer firmwares for the 237t have better backlight control? I still think the backlight is too bright at the lowest of the three settings I have it at. Brightness only changes the pixels, not the backlight behind them.

Does anybody have MDB1_AQ_242T_L_21B or MDB1_AQ_242T_L_22A firmware? Thanks!!!

I need the same, does anyone have one of these files? I was stupid and tried to update using one of the S_21B zips that I found and now my TV is half-bricked. I can still connect to the USB port, but the TV will not come out of stand by. I have a feeling that a good firmware will restore the TV.

Thanks!!!

My 237t has a funny bug where if you turn the sharpness/edge-enhancement down too low (like off) it turns the screen pink when you change resolutions (like on a computer going from one program to another) until you reset to factory defaults. Is there a firmware that corrects this?

Another thing that's probably not a bug, but I don't like: color gets more saturated the lower you set the contrast. Pretty bad processing, in general, on this screen.

FYI: The links posted as text 20 pages back or so are still live for these items/firmware.

That is the S firmware, not the L firmware needed for those of us with the LG panels. I made the mistake of using that firmware and it's the reason why TV currently doesn't work.

I also need - MDB1_AQ_242T_L_21B or MDB1_AQ_242T_L_22A . I'm attempted to contact Olevia via email requesting the file customerservice@oleviasupport.com . Anyone else able to acquire it or know of a compatible firmware version for 237T LG Screen version? I bricked my perfectly good 37" Olevia TV tonight, just trying to fix a small audio issue. >:|

The set is about 5 years old. The blue "stand-by" light is on and when I press the power button the light goes off, but nothing happens. Pressing power button again also does nothing. I need to pull the power cord and plug it in again to get the "stand-by" light to come on again. The hard power switch next to the power cord plug also works the same as pulling the cord out of the socket.

I opened the unit up and looked at the power supply. Could not see any obviously bad caps. The big 150uF 450V cap looks good visually. Low voltage caps also look pretty good to me. No bulging or visible leaking.

I measured 5V at pin 1 on J101. Also measured 5V on Pin 1 and Pin 3 of CN1 on the main board. This is all after pressing power to take the unit out of stand-by. Some LEDs on the main board are on, but I am not sure which (hard to see the designation on the silkscreen).

Any ideas? The set is silent and dark. The LCD lamp is not on. Seems the inverters are not powered (didn't check, just appears that way).

Thanks!

Sounds like the power supplly took a dump. Pick up one of ebay for $50 and keep on truckin!

Good advice, just in the nick of time!

Wow, I came in here on a whim and couldn't believe there was a post from 12/13/12. I am surprised anyone is still talking about this television. Quick question - I have mine with the original firmware from 2006. Everything seems okay (knock on wood), but am I missing out on anything by not upgrading it?

Thanks

I sold mine a few years ago. Still subscribed here due to sheer laziness in not simply hitting the 'unsubscribe' button, I guess. Or nostalgia.

Firmware was always the mysterious or difficult to quantify subject around here, and difficult to locate the applicable firmware as there were a few different closely related versions of this model. At least that's how I remember it. The firmware didn't really add much of anything. Maybe helped with a specific issue or two. What those were, I forget, it's been so long.

Does anyone have the firmware MDB1_AQ_242T_L_22A?
