FAQ
TL;DR: 1 successful SPI-flash fix: the user desoldered a Winbond 25Q16JV and "the tv now works." For Telefunken TE32269B38Y2D with Vestel 17MB211 no-power, check the SPI dump and reflash a known-good 17MB211 firmware. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17570113]
Why it matters: It guides 17MB211 owners and bench techs to a proven no-standby recovery path.
Quick Facts
- Model/IDs: Telefunken TE32269B38Y2D; Mainboard 17MB211; Panel VES315WNDA-2D-N12; Smart TV, double tuner. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17556784]
- Symptom snapshot: no standby LED; PSU OK; some mainboard voltages present—points to logic/SPI issues. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17557190]
- SPI device identified on the repaired set: Winbond 25Q16JVSQ. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17570113]
- Access tip: SOIC-clip clearance is tight under heatsink/SAT tuner—chip was desoldered to read. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17562726]
- Fix outcome: SPI was empty; flashing a 17MB211 firmware restored operation. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17570113]
How do I fix a Telefunken TE32269B38Y2D (17MB211) that won’t power on?
Verify your PSU. If stable, focus on the mainboard SPI flash. In the documented case, the Winbond 25Q16JVSQ read empty. Flash a known-good 17MB211 firmware and retest. The set booted immediately after programming. "the tv now works." [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17570113]
What symptoms suggest corrupted firmware on a 17MB211 board?
Typical signs are no standby LED with a good PSU. The user also measured some voltages on the mainboard. That combination points to logic or SPI firmware issues, not the power supply. "Won't turn on, no standby led." [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17557190]
Which SPI flash chip is on this 17MB211 board?
The repaired unit carried a Winbond 25Q16JVSQ SPI flash. The chip was removed to be read and programmed off-board. That identification came from the successful repair report. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17570113]
Do I need to remove the SPI chip to program it on 17MB211?
Plan for removal. The clip had no clearance beneath the heatsink and SAT tuner can. The user desoldered the SPI IC to access it safely. "the clip won't fit between the heatsink and the SAT module." [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17562726]
How big is a 25Q16JV dump?
A W25Q16JV is 16 Mbit, which equals 2 MB. That is the full-size binary you will read or write during service. Ensure your programmer is set for 2,097,152 bytes. [W25Q16JV Datasheet]
Can I flash a 17MB110P dump onto a 17MB211 mainboard?
Avoid cross-flashing. The 17MB211 set here had SAT tuner and Wi‑Fi, and the owner rejected a 17MB110P dump. Hardware options and SoC can differ. "this is too different" despite similar layouts. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17562473]
Are VES315WNDA-2D-N12, N14, and N15 panel dumps interchangeable?
Match panel codes exactly. A helper offered dumps for VES315WNDS-2D-N14 and N15, not N12. Suffix differences matter for timing and configuration. Use a dump that matches your exact matrix ID. [Elektroda, elmo071, post #17557934]
What if my SPI reads as empty?
Treat it as erased or corrupted firmware. Program a verified 17MB211 image and test. In this case, the SPI read "completely empty" and the set recovered after flashing. That sequence confirmed a firmware-rooted failure. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17570113]
Where can I get a working 17MB211 firmware for this case?
The repair used firmware from the forum thread previously referenced by the user (topic3498680). After flashing that image, the TV powered up normally. Search the forum for the 17MB211 package. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17570113]
Should I back up the original firmware before flashing?
Yes—always save a backup if the chip is readable. The poster planned a backup before testing another dump. Preserving the original image gives you a recovery path if needed. "I'll just save a backup of its firmware." [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17557996]
Does SAT tuner and Wi‑Fi presence affect firmware compatibility?
Yes. The discussed 17MB211 had SAT tuner and Wi‑Fi, which influence firmware build options. Pick a dump that matches those hardware features to ensure proper operation. The owner flagged this as a key difference. [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17562473]
What alternative dump was proposed in this thread?
A dump was offered for a different set: CROWN 32289T2SM with mainboard 17MB110P, SPI MX25L1605, and VES315WNDA-2D-N12 panel. It was presented as "Dump to check." Evaluate hardware differences before use. [Elektroda, elmo071, post #17558098]
Is the power supply at fault here?
Unlikely in this scenario. The PSU was reported as working fine, yet there was no standby LED. That shifts focus to the mainboard and SPI firmware. "PSU is working just fine." [Elektroda, Acca85, post #17557190]
How do I reflash the SPI on 17MB211 safely? (3 steps)
- Desolder the SPI flash (Winbond 25Q16JVSQ) for reliable access.
- Read and check the dump; if empty or corrupt, prepare a known-good 17MB211 image.
- Program the chip, verify, resolder, and power-test the TV.
