Hey guys,
I'm fairly sure the same things happened to my TV as I was using it in VGA mode the night before it locked up.
If any of you still have the firmware update and instructions on how to install it I would greatly appreciate if you were able to PM it to me.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks CHRISS.

Hi Kirby
No thats not the lead you wont,
its a TWISTED serial cable (DB9 Female to female cable
This cable is used to connect “USB toSerial Converter or serial port comm. In PC or Laptop” to the “DB9 male connector (RS-232 connector)” of the TV Set .
Using RS-232 Null Modem cable (pins 2 and 3 crossover )
Make sure your PC or Notebook Port settings are correct in DEVICE Manager under Control panel-- System. (Port and Baud rate matching)
TV Baud rate to 115200 (set by TILT key on Service Remote or Press Menu key TV/Menu R/C simultaneously for 5-10secs. And change in menu Baud rate)
Procedure
FORCED DOWNLOAD METHOD:
1. Leave TV in STBY mode
2. Bring up DTV LAB( set up port etc)
3.Click Connect
4.HOLD DOWN N0.1 key on PC while Powering up TV-
5.It should go to Download Application-at ENTER COMMAND----PRESS 1
6.Click Program and find File and Click OPEN ---or it will just go to Program and find file depending on model response.
7.File uploads (blue Bar appears) as above method (unpacking – erasing- writng) and after completion should reset and last channel appears. (verify as above).
If you happen to download wrong file and it fails and locks up TV (no Pix )
Then use FORCED DOWNLOAD METHOD to recover.
Switch set OFF from AC outlet and let come back to STBY after reconnection to AC.
Use Power button on TV to Activate.
Great post CHRISS I am sure this info will come in very handy in the future
When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
Can someone please tell me where i can download the software? I have a 42LC7D UB BUSVLJM that appears to be suffering from the same problem.
Thank you!!
Our Australian firmware wont work with the 42LC7D-UB. So I wouldn't recommend trying it ok.

Thanks Mickstv i did not look at the product code but if the set wont turn on he could give it a go then get into service mode and change the setings, what do you think MICKSTV ? I will go on line to GSFS and have a look

Ok firstdue as mickstv pointed out the firmware upgrade is for the Australia models ,
if it fails you might not be able to recover and need a new main pcb so better to find firmware from your country
Am i right your from US i was trying to find country from the UB BUSVLJM no

Thank you!! for the info. I will continue to look. You are correct, i am in the US. Owner had an Xbox 360 connected to it and now its no audio/no video. Power button and light act correct though.
I found this:
Would this include the complete firmware for the TV? The file size is much larger than your .pak file. Its 4.06Mb to your 1.52Mb
It appears it can be loaded from a USB drive too.

Dont think can update by usb cos can not get menu up and the set is in lock up state need to use forced download method, i dont no if US model has service RS-232 connector,
I would get the epk file for your model try USB if it start auto grate if not use the DTV LAB from here and use your software if its got a rs-232 upgrade port try that way but at least you have the right software for your set
firstdue (12-11-11)
Yes it has a RS232 port.
Is the epk the same as the .pak file?
