A little OT as I'm not actually trying to repair this set, rather draw
on the experience of others who've had experience with similar Sharp
sets to identify the SST 37VF010 chip.

The chip had a paper label stuck on it suggesting factory
programming/firmware etc, but it looks suspiciously like a regular
flash eprom, a google turned up a number of potential suppliers but no
definitive description of what it is and no data sheets - can anyone
furnish any info?

TIA.


Ian. Did you see that TeleMag has been relaunched ?

Arfa


Yes - its available through 3 distributors that I don't have an account
with or direct at a price that's taking the **** or emagazine (non-PDF)
to stop pirating that is in a presentation that is such a PITA to read
that they couldn't sell it to me at any price, and cannot be saved to
local HD - so its like beer, you don't buy it you only rent it!

That is unacceptable.


They sent me a copy in the 'electronic' format, and I must admit that I
struggled to read the 'grey' print, and didn't really like the "turny
page" format. Mind you, I have never liked on-line books and mags, any
more than I like computerised service manuals ...

Personally I find there are times that I want to get away from the PC and
read from real paper, I would have reluctantly put up with the emagazine if
it was in PDF, the format they presented is totally unacceptable because it
is not possible to save and open whenever and wherever I want to put time
aside to read it, my collection of Television goes back to the late 70's and
I can refer to past articles any time - the sample emagazine they sent me
opened only once and was then unavailable, I can't see anyone putting up
with that!
