I remember I read somewhere else that there's an EPROM for this DVI. There's a round optical hole on top of the EPROM. When TV is on and light goes through the hole to EPROM, the EPROM will be ERASED. There used to be a lot of these kind of EPROMs for MCU. JVC will be your last resort to get it programmed or get a pre-programmed part.

What someone really should do is to take off the back cover while TV is powered off, and use something like black electrical tape to cover that hole up before powering up the TV again.

No that won't do it. EPROM erase is like deleting permanently the files in a harddrive.

I think it should work but not 100% sure. I'm just a DIYer with EE background, You need to confirm it with professional.

When I was at university there was programmer for EPROM and also eraser which emits ultra-violet light to erase EPROM

Good luck

sorry czipster and lcaillo, my memory didn't serve me right. raying:

But I'm happy to learn something new again. Solute to master lcaillo!

BTW I don't understand why JVC design the DVI this way. I don't see this thing with my Hitachi 51SWX20B and Sony 46WT510. They both have DVI inputs.
