Sharp Aquos Firmware Update

I just helped a friend do a Blu-Ray firmware update. 3 help support people walked me through the wrong steps. The third worked with me until we figured it out. Sharp Aquos Model LC-42BD80U, Firmware Version PU12110600. I do not have the step by step, but this will get you on the right path. The firmware update is NOT for the TV, it is for the Blu-Ray. You have to use the Blu-Ray setup menu to do the firmware update, NOT the digital TV setup menu. The USB with the file on it has to be inserted in the USB port on the Blu-Ray player, NOT the Service port for the TV. The download is a .zip file. The firmware update file must be extracted and put on the USB drive. It must be the only file on the drive. One way to make absolutely certain it is the only file on the drive is to format the drive (FAT 32), and then put the extracted file on the drive. The support person said there are (sometimes?) issues with USB drives over 2 GB. Because I had a 2 GB drive available, I used it to do the update and it worked.

RE:

Sharp Aquos Blu-Ray BDHP21U firmware update?

I'm trying to update my Sharp Aquos BDHP21U Blu-Ray player, but it is not working. I've made sure that the format of the usb is FAT. The blu ray player reads the stick, but then nothing happens. Any other suggestions.

Also, this is a brand new memory stick.

There doesn't seem to be any published firmware out there. This is not surprising since it's such an off name brand. I would be surprised if AMTC actually even worries about updating their firmware.

Call the 800# from the manufacturer and they should be able to give you a little more insight -- I just did the same thing with the (exact) same Blue Ray player -- I still never got it too work, so KIT and let me know what you find out --
