Philips 47PFT5609/12 ATML H408 (24C08) EEPROM Dump Availability and Panel-Specific Issues

User question

I need a dump for Philips 47PFT5609/12 for a ATML H408 or equivalent

Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

  • A public, ready-to-flash dump for the 8-pin device marked “ATML H408” (Atmel/Microchip 24C08 I²C EEPROM) used on Philips 47PFT5609/12 main boards is not currently hosted on the major open repositories.
  • What is available online are full NAND/eMMC dumps (≈370 MB) for the same main-board family (715G6165-M01-000-005X, chassis TPM14.1E LA). These do not include the small 1 kB option-EEPROM.
  • Practically, you have three routes:
    1. Read the H408 from a working donor set and clone it.
    2. Request the 1 kB file from specialised TV-repair forums (ElektroTanya, Badcaps, Remont-AUD, Ciklon, etc.).
    3. Re-initialise the set with the correct eMMC dump; the TV will then recreate (or let you regenerate) most fields in the 24C08 after a service-mode reset.

Key points
• ATML H408 ≙ AT24C08 (1 kB, 100 kHz I²C, 5 V/3.3 V).
• The dump is panel-specific; wrong data gives inverted or garbled picture.
• If the TV is hard-bricked, you usually need the eMMC image first; the 24C08 alone will not boot the set.


Detailed problem analysis

  1. Hardware topology
    • Chassis: TPM14.1E LA (silkscreen 715G6165-M01-000-005 K/X).
    • Storage devices:
    – eMMC BGA (THGBMAG5A1JBAIR or equivalent) – holds Linux OS, UI, codecs.
    – Serial EEPROM “ATML H408” – 24C08 SOIC-8 @ location 7U11. Stores:
    ▫ Panel EDID/option bytes
    ▫ Model & regional options
    ▫ Usage hours / error log
    ▫ I²C bus addresses for tuners, T-Con configuration

  2. Failure modes
    • Corrupted 24C08 → TV powers, back-light works, but: boot loop, mirrored/upside-down image, no T-Con init, or shuts down after logo.
    • Corrupted eMMC → ‑-/--- on display, no Philips logo, or red LED blinking code.

  3. File availability status
    • eMMC dumps (≈370 MB RAR): firmware.dou.pt, Tecnicenter.org, Remont-aud.net (verified 2024-05).
    • 24C08 dumps: only by request or user uploads in closed forums – not indexed by search engines.

  4. Why it is hard to find
    • Philips service policy: option EEPROM is generated per production line, not distributed as firmware.
    • Each LCD panel variant (LG, AUO, Innolux) needs unique timing tables; hence service sites rarely post a “generic” file.


Current information and trends

• Trend in TV repair is to replace or reflash the eMMC first; modern chassis can rewrite a blank 24Cxx with default data stored in the main firmware.
• Community repositories increasingly share full-flash images; small option EEPROMs remain crowd-sourced.
• Professional tools (RT809H, SVOD, UFEI) now support in-circuit eMMC and I²C programming, reducing the need to desolder.


Supporting explanations and details

• Identifying the chip
Marking “H408” corresponds to Atmel lot code; full part number reads AT24C08B/PU-2.7 on datasheets.
Pin-out:
1-A0 2-A1 3-A2 4-GND
5-SDA 6-SCL 7-WP 8-VCC (3.3 V)

• Example clip programming (CH341A + AsProgrammer):

 Select Device → 24Cxx → AT24C08
Read → save original.bin
Erase → Program new_dump.bin → Verify

• Service-menu regeneration
After flashing eMMC image:
– Power on while pressing “VOL- + CH–” on the side keyboard → Factory mode
– Choose “Option Code/Panel ID” → set code printed on panel sticker → Store → TV writes values to 24C08.


Ethical and legal aspects

• Firmware files are copyrighted by TP-Vision/Philips; download for repair is generally accepted under “fair use” or local “right-to-repair” laws, but redistribution for profit may violate IP rights.
• Always keep a backup of the original EEPROM to respect the unique serial/HDCP keys belonging to the customer.


Practical guidelines

  1. Obtain board data
    – Read label on LCD cell (e.g., TPT470H1-DUF, LC470DUE, V470HJ1).
    – Note option code printed on white sticker (e.g., 010 35 12 05).

  2. If only the AT24C08 is faulty
    – Post a request on elektroda.pl or badcaps.net with exact panel ID and option code.
    – Many technicians will upload a 1 kB BIN in return.

  3. If TV is dead / boot-loops
    – Flash the 370 MB eMMC dump first (RT809H, SD-card adapter in ISP mode).
    – Power-up; if picture wrong → correct option data via service menu or by writing proper 24C08 dump.

Common pitfalls
• In-circuit I²C programming fails because the main SoC holds SDA/SCL low → desolder or lift VCC pin, or supply only VCC from programmer.
• Using dump from different panel works but image inverted → modify bytes 0x50-0x5F (panel timing) instead of searching for another file.


Possible disclaimers or additional notes

• Some sets ship with 24C32, not 24C08 – always read device ID first.
• A blank AT24C08 will not brick the TV permanently; you can still access factory mode and let the firmware repopulate defaults.
• If HDCP keys reside in the same chip (rare on this chassis), cloning from a donor set may break HDMI authentication.


Suggestions for further research

• Monitor specialised Telegram/WhatsApp repair groups where small-size EEPROM dumps are shared daily.
• Explore open-source Philips JTAG projects (e.g., OpenLGTVPort) – methods to extract option bytes directly from eMMC partitions.
• Study NVM structure in Mediatek MT5580 SoC datasheets for automated tool creation that rebuilds 24Cxx from main firmware.


Brief summary

No public, one-click “ATML H408” dump exists for the Philips 47PFT5609/12; only full eMMC images are freely downloadable. Because the H408 is simply a 24C08 option EEPROM, the safest workflow is:
1) back up your own chip,
2) flash the official or community eMMC dump if the set is bricked,
3) regenerate or obtain the 1 kB option file that matches your LCD panel, using repair forums or a donor board.
Follow proper ESD and copyright practices, and the TV can usually be restored without replacing the entire main board.
