Hi as the title says yes I bricked my g10, I was trying to roll back the gamma hack to default.
I stupidly changed the last hex value to 20 which is for the 50" model and mine is the 46".
The reason is I rushed rereading the guide and missed the part about the last value differing due to screen size Doh! Doh!
I was only rolling back to the default as I had the xbox360 hdmi flash fault and the tv wouldnt recognize the 1612 firmware whilst it was in european mode.
The tv turns on to a green light but doesnt respond to the remote also it doesnt respond to the software remote/side panel reset as instructed by panasonic so the tv is definately bricked till the software is replaced.
Anyway the situation is this..panasonic wont uphold the warranty with my local service engineer as it was an ex display tv.
They've told him to order a main board off them and he said it'll cost £430 minus labour, and that's trade price!
Now as this is obviously a software problem I need to know where to go from here? do I look for a faulty 46" g10 to replace the main board? or does anyone know an alternative such as replacing the eeprom does anyone offer this service?
Lastly Im presuming Im at a loss sourcing a faulty g10 of a different size, as Im presuming that the software values will be wrong putting me in the same predicament?
Any help greatly appreciated.
BTW Im aware that discussing the hack is prohibited on here, Im only looking to resolve the repair.
Thanks.
