Direct answer to the question

From the information you provided, the TV is most likely:

  • Brand / model: Daewoo 55DM62UA
  • Mainboard / chassis: Vestel 17MB185Y
  • Vestel product/profile code: 10139824
  • Listed profile: 55751DL
  • Serial number: 29230344

A current parts listing matches V10139824 with ZP_17MB185Y 55751DL DAEWOO 55DM62UA, so your identification is consistent. (bilimteknomarket.com)

If you are looking for firmware / USB recovery software, do not use generic 17MB185Y firmware. You need firmware matched to the exact Daewoo 55DM62UA + 17MB185Y + product code 10139824 + LCD panel code.


Detailed problem analysis

The number 17MB185Y identifies the Vestel Android TV mainboard family, but it is not enough to select firmware safely. Vestel uses the same chassis family across many brands and screen sizes, including Daewoo, Toshiba, JVC, Finlux, Telefunken, Edenwood and others. The firmware contains not only Android system files, but also hardware configuration data such as:

  • LCD panel timing data
  • V-by-One / LVDS mapping
  • backlight control parameters
  • remote-control profile
  • tuner and region configuration
  • audio amplifier configuration
  • bootloader / recovery layout
  • certificates and DRM-related partitions

That is why professional repair references warn that there is no single universal Vestel 17MB185 firmware; firmware must be matched to the exact TV identity and panel. Wrong firmware may cause no picture, inverted image, double image, wrong colours, remote mismatch, boot loop, or complete failure to start. (elektroda.com)

For your set, the important known data is:

Item Value
Mainboard Vestel 17MB185Y
TV model Daewoo 55DM62UA
Product/profile code 10139824
Listed Vestel profile 55751DL
Serial number 29230344

However, one critical item is still missing: the LCD panel code. It is usually printed on a sticker on the LCD panel itself and often looks like:

VES550QNxx-xx-xxx

or similar.

The code 55751DL helps identify the Vestel configuration/profile, but it should not be treated as a complete LCD panel code unless confirmed from the panel sticker.


Current information and trends

Recent repair discussions for Vestel 17MB185 / 17MB185Y Android TVs show many similar cases: boot loop, stuck on logo, black screen, standby LED only, or Android “storage full” problems. These faults are often caused by:

  • corrupted Android system partition,
  • failed OTA update,
  • saturated internal storage,
  • damaged eMMC memory,
  • wrong firmware previously flashed.

For 17MB185Y sets, recovery packages are commonly requested in forms such as:

upgrade_loader.pkg
upgrade_loader_no_tvcertificate.pkg
upgrade_image_no_tvcertificate.pkg
MDS_upgrade_image_no_tvcertificate.pkg

Technicians commonly prefer “no_tvcertificate” packages when available because they are intended to avoid erasing TV-specific certificates and service keys. Recovery procedures reported for 17MB185Y typically use a FAT32 USB stick and the OK button while applying mains power, but the package must match the exact model and panel. (elektroda.com)


Practical guidelines

1. Before flashing firmware, collect these details

Please read or photograph:

  1. Rear TV label

    • Daewoo 55DM62UA
    • serial number
    • product code / article number
    • country or region code if present
  2. Mainboard sticker

    • full code, for example:
      17MB185Y
      17MB185Y_G31 / G32 / similar
      10139824
    • any additional 8-digit Vestel number
  3. LCD panel sticker

    • very important
    • likely starts with:
      VES550...

Without the panel code, firmware selection is risky.


2. If the TV still boots partially

If the TV can reach menus, try a factory reset before flashing firmware.

Typical Vestel service-menu access is often:

Menu → Advanced Options → 4725

or:

Input/Source → select HDMI → Menu → 4725

Then look for:

  • software version,
  • panel code,
  • factory reset option.

Do not change panel type or service values unless you know exactly what they do.


3. USB recovery procedure — only with correct firmware

If you obtain the correct firmware for:

Daewoo 55DM62UA
Vestel 17MB185Y
Product code 10139824
Correct LCD panel code

then the usual recovery procedure is:

  1. Use a small USB stick, preferably 4 GB to 16 GB.
  2. Format it as FAT32, MBR partition if possible.
  3. Copy only the firmware file to the root of the USB stick.
  4. Typical file name may be one of:
    upgrade_loader.pkg
    upgrade_loader_no_tvcertificate.pkg
    upgrade_image_no_tvcertificate.pkg
    MDS_upgrade_image_no_tvcertificate.pkg
  5. Unplug the TV from AC mains.
  6. Insert the USB stick into the TV.
  7. Hold OK on the remote control.
  8. While holding OK, plug the TV back into mains.
  9. Keep holding until the standby LED starts flashing rapidly or the update screen appears.
  10. Release OK.
  11. Wait until the process finishes. Do not remove power during flashing.

If the TV ignores the USB stick:

  • try another USB stick,
  • try another USB port,
  • confirm FAT32/MBR formatting,
  • confirm the expected file name,
  • confirm the firmware is for the exact panel and product code.

Supporting explanations and details

Why wrong firmware is dangerous

Even if another file says “17MB185Y”, it may be for a different:

  • panel size,
  • panel manufacturer,
  • backlight type,
  • tuner region,
  • brand,
  • remote-control protocol,
  • Android build branch.

For example, two 55-inch TVs with the same 17MB185Y board can still use different LCD panels. Firmware for one may boot the other, but display:

  • black screen with backlight,
  • double image,
  • upside-down image,
  • solarized colours,
  • wrong brightness,
  • no remote response,
  • continuous reboot.

Therefore, the firmware should be requested as:

Daewoo 55DM62UA
Vestel 17MB185Y
Product/Profile: 10139824
Profile: 55751DL
Panel: [read from LCD sticker]
Fault: [describe symptom]

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

If the TV begins flashing but fails partway, or if it remains stuck in standby even with correct USB recovery, the issue may be eMMC failure rather than only software corruption. In that case, repair usually requires:

  • ISP programming of the eMMC,
  • removing and replacing the eMMC chip,
  • writing a full matched dump,
  • or replacing the complete mainboard.

If replacing the mainboard, match more than just “17MB185Y”. You should match:

17MB185Y variant
10139824
panel code
TV model
region

An identical-looking Vestel board from another brand may not work correctly.


Brief summary

Your identification appears valid: Daewoo 55DM62UA with Vestel 17MB185Y, product/profile code 10139824, listed with 55751DL. For firmware recovery, the missing critical detail is the LCD panel code. Do not flash generic 17MB185Y firmware. Use only a firmware package matched to Daewoo 55DM62UA + 17MB185Y + 10139824 + exact panel code.
