46PFL8007K/12 - problems with USB flashdisk?

[martinnkm]

Hello, I installed new 46PFL8007K/12. The picture and ambilight are both briliant.
I have checked firmware and found out there are already more recent versions. I took 16GB Hama flashdisk formatted with FAT32 + 4096 as unit size and copied extracted autorun.upg of that most recent version.
But when I attached flashdisk to TV it prints "detected USB, trying to read files ..." and nothing else happens.
My actual firmware which came with new TV is QF1EU-0.150.48.13 Release for Fusion R2 QF1EU-0,150.48.13-bld3a Generation date 28/10/2012 23:28:31.
I went through ChangeLog of all releases and found statement of one fix that it fixes problem with some USB flashdisks being not recognized properly. Could that be a problem? Shall I try to connect another USB kind of disk? I'm just affraid I will buy another e.g. USB disk and that will also not work. Thanks.

You can trythis:

1.Pull out the mains
2.Press and hold "ok" on RC
3.Connect the Mains (still hold "ok" for 20 seconds)

Ifa softwareupdate-screen is coming, download and install the latestsoftware.
1.Download Software
2.Create folder "upgrades" at usb drive
3.put autorun.upg into this folder
4.Drive into tv
5.Start update

Unfortunatelly that software-update screen does not pop up.

Hi,

then you are doing something wrong.
- pull power cord
- press OK and keep pressing OK while replugging power cord
- still keep pressing OK, until the menu is visible

I exactly followed two previous advises and still have a feeling that it really does not recognize USB flashdisk. I'm gonna buy new one. As a test I copied some JPEGs and TV again did not recognize USB flashdisk. I used flashdisk since 4 years ago to record programs on set-top-box but never had any problem reported while recording.

I guess that update prompt shall show up regardless of USB problem itself. Or am I wrong? But this really does not come. One more question - shall I pull power cord when TV is running? Or should I switch of to standby and then reconnect power cord? If reconnect pwer cord and TV was previously in stand-by then even when I keep OK pressed TV does nothing till I switch it on on RC. In both cases no prompt for sw-update comes.

I finally managed to install latest firmware. I bought cheap 4GB TDK flashdisk and with that one I successfully installed new firmware on my 46PFL8007K/12. Thanks all of you trying to help out. I still have a problem with SmartTV, but I hope I will get it running. Hopefully not spending entire christmas time in front of TV and notebook:-)

The problem of not functional flashdisk dissapeared buy using another one to make an upgrade. Now even previous flashdisk works fine. 150.81 firmware fixes the problem. See ChangeLog - the problem of not recognized flashdisks is mentioned also there.
