Firmware: Anyone have insight on this?

When you say that you cannot "set the date past 12", I expect you are referring to the day of the month. Note that the date format this product uses is day/month/year (European convention), so you are probably trying to set the month past 12. Unfortunately, this format cannot be changed in this product. I also noticed that the Philips web site does not have firmware as recent as what is shipping.

They just came out with 1.0.0.3 Build 9 firmware... try it and see if there's any improvement

The firmware may have a limit on file size. If they're all are just under 1MB (~990KB) then I'd think it's definitely the firmware. You can probably change it. Search for system files on the memory card to see if there's a .INI file.

The company has been out of business since December of 2010, and I would highly doubt that anyone still has files from back then. I've scoured the internet for anything related to firmware upgrades and I don't see any publications or even announcements for a firmware update. I just figured that was one of the downfalls of this frame. About your only option is to manually change the names of the files on your memory card and shuffle them that way.

There's no information from Sabrent that identifies anything about a firmware update or an answer to your second question. I will get in touch with a Sabrent PR Representative to seek information.

I have found that to be the case (I submitted the review) and submitted a support case. Tech support said that this is a known problem and they are expecting a firmware update "soon". I am trying to get clarification of what "soon" means and, once it's updated, if that means it will be unlimited or if that's just going to up the 280 to another limit. I'll post again when I hear back. Jan

I think that the firmware is the latest at the moment of your purchase, the product is working properly for me but, if an upgrade were nedeed, you must returnt it to Darbee.

No. I contacted them and asked them to include it in a firmware update, but nothing yet.

It's a cable. My understanding is there is no firmware in the cable itself.

I have firmware 2.2. They are up to 2.22. I would say that if your unit has 2.04 or higher, then I probably would not chance it. Not everyone has been bricked. But some have. There does not appear to much of a difference from 2.04 to 2.22.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

I had (and still have) the same problems (standard def dvd freezing/choppy playback/check disc errors) prior to updating the firmware. I think the problems just coincided with the timing of the firmware update. LG needs to get on this and make things right for their customers.

Works fine for me. Never seen it. For almost an year restarted it only two times to upgrade the firmware.

I don't know, but is possible because the unit is Excellent. And is possible update the firmware.

Lester, I am sorry but I don't know. I updated the firmware couple of months ago and didn't make a notation of either the original firmware version or the latest version downloaded. I have found there is frequently a more recent of firmware than the one loaded at new. Makers sometimes suggest doing a firmware update when making the original setup which I think is a great idea since there maybe something to do with security in the latest version.

alot of the problems i read were related to firmware upgrade. Do you get a recent rev?? or do you have to do the upgrade when you bring it home?

I have not experienced those issues. I recommend checking to see if there are any firmware updates for your unit. You have to connect your unit to a internet connected computer to perform the online check and updates.
