NVM Reset (NVM.BIN)

NVM (Non Volatile Memory) Reset Procedure overwrite the NVM memory area with a model specific NVM image that is usually loaded during the Screen's assembly process.
The NVM image used is dictated by the LCD component (the front part of the Screen that lit up and produces picture) used in the Screen.
That's why different Philips BDL model WILL require different NVM files
Even 2 HFL BDL of the same model, with different serial number range may use different LCD types, and thus require different NVM files

Format the USB Drive with the following settings:

  File system=FAT32

  Allocation unit size = 64 kilobyte

Download NVM.BIN file (Model dependent) into USB Drive.

Choose the correct NVM.BIN file based on the Model
the model of the screen should be shown on a label behind the screen
if you can't access the back of the screen to see the label, please press info,7,7. The model will be shown on the screen
