Seeking French Firmware for Saba TV Model ld40chd105 Without Serial Number

RoyalC 3141 19
Best answers

How can I find the correct French firmware for a Saba LD40CHD105 TV when I do not have the serial number and the TV is stuck on “initialisation en cours”?

The firmware must match the exact TV hardware/specifications, so the serial number is not the only requirement [#20711314] One user also said they could make a USB binary specially for this TV, but that repairing the original flash/bin requires proper tools and a defective/original bin to work from [#20712574] [#20714919] [#20717137] [#20723573] After flashing the provided USB file, the set no longer stayed on “initialisation en cours,” which suggests the file was usable for booting [#20711382] [#20723573] However, the remote control still did not work: the TV LED blinked when buttons were pressed, but nothing happened, while the local side buttons on the TV worked [#20712720] [#20713249] [#20726631] The thread did not provide a final fix for the remote-control problem.

    Hello and sorry for my bad English.
    I'm searching for the French firmware for my Saba TV, but I don't have the serial number!
    I have opened it and here are the pictures I have taken.
    Thanks for your precious help.

    I forgot to say that my TV stays on "initialisation en cours"!

    Hi, the keyboard of the remote control doesn't work. When I push vol+, I can see the TV LED blinking, but nothing happens.
    The keyboard of the TV is working fine.
    Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

    Hi, what do you mean by local keyboard? The buttons on the side of the TV? If yes, yes they work.
    I have seen a lot of posts about this firmware, and some people have trouble with the remote control after flashing the firmware, but none give the solution!!!
    Thanks for your help.

    Il s'agit du logiciel original pour ce modèle. C'est le matériel que j'ai à la maison. Seulement si vous voulez essayer la programmation flash.

    I know how to put flash on TV (format FAT32 and put the file on a USB disk, then insert the USB disk and wait for the flash). I don't know how to correct bad firmware like Jeloi says.

    You would have to have suitable tools, it is not done with a pen.

    I have tried your file jeloi, but it doesn't correct the remote control use! When I push a remote control button, it blinks on the TV (LED blinks), but nothing else.
    Thanks for your help.

The discussion includes inquiries about flashing memory and the tools required for firmware correction.

FAQ

TL;DR: For Saba LD40CHD105 fixes, 1 device needs exact-spec firmware; "The software is for one device." This FAQ explains USB update steps and what to check if IR fails. [Elektroda, querij, post #20711314]

Why it matters: A mismatched build can boot yet disable the remote, so match specs before flashing.

Quick Facts

What’s the quickest way to escape “initialisation en cours” on a Saba LD40CHD105?

A USB firmware update resolved the loop in this case. After flashing, the TV left “initialisation en cours” and booted. However, the IR remote stopped responding afterward. Test basic navigation with the TV’s side buttons to confirm boot status. [Elektroda, RoyalC, post #20711382]

Why did my remote stop working after flashing the firmware?

Because this software targets a single device configuration. "The software is for one device, with the same specifications." If your unit differs from the firmware’s target, features like IR control can stop functioning after the update. [Elektroda, querij, post #20711314]

Do the TV’s side buttons help diagnose the problem?

Yes. In this case, the side buttons worked normally while the IR remote did nothing. That shows the TV accepted local input despite the remote issue, guiding next steps toward firmware or IR handling. [Elektroda, RoyalC, post #20713249]

How do I update the Saba firmware via USB?

Use the tested USB method for this set: 1. Format a USB drive to FAT32 and copy the update file. 2. Insert the USB into the TV and power it on. 3. Wait for the flashing process to complete before removing the drive. "Format FAT32... insert the USB disk and wait for the flash." [Elektroda, RoyalC, post #20716379]

My TV’s LED blinks when I press the remote, but nothing happens. What does that tell me?

In this case, pressing a remote button made the TV LED blink, yet no command executed. That observation came after a firmware update, indicating the set saw input but did not perform actions. [Elektroda, RoyalC, post #20712720]

Can someone repair my original BIN and generate a USB update?

Yes. An expert offered, "Publish a defective bin! I will make your faulty usb bin!" Share your dump so they can rebuild a compatible USB package for your unit. [Elektroda, jeloi, post #20714919]

Was the posted USB file custom-made for this TV?

Yes. The contributor confirmed the file in the referenced post was “specially made... for your TV” and prepared for USB flashing. That targeted build addressed the request without needing hardware programmers. [Elektroda, jeloi, post #20723573]

Did that custom file restore remote control?

No. In one case, flashing the custom USB file did not restore IR control; the TV’s LED still blinked, but no actions occurred. This edge case shows a deeper mismatch beyond that package. [Elektroda, RoyalC, post #20726631]

Do I need special tools to reprogram the flash chip directly?

Yes. "You would have to have suitable tools, it is not done with a pen." Direct flash programming requires hardware-level tools and skills beyond a simple USB stick. [Elektroda, querij, post #20717137]

If I don’t have those tools, what’s a practical next step?

Stick with USB updates and collaborate with an experienced helper. Publish your defective BIN so they can craft a corrected USB image tailored to your unit’s configuration. [Elektroda, jeloi, post #20714919]

Is this firmware unique per device or per model variant?

Treat it as device-configuration specific. As one expert put it, "The software is for one device, with the same specifications." Verify exact hardware details before flashing any build. [Elektroda, querij, post #20711314]

What should I share to help identify the right firmware?

Post clear photos of the mainboard, modules, and labels. The OP opened the TV and shared images, helping others identify hardware and advise on compatible software paths. [Elektroda, RoyalC, post #20709013]
