Panasonic TH-P42X50M TNPH1002 W25Q16

BIOS .rar 197 KB Shared

Firmware for the Panasonic TH-P42X50M plasma TV on the TNPH1002 board, read from a W25Q16 SPI flash. The W25Q16 is a Winbond 16 Mbit (2 MB) serial NOR chip, and the RAR is 197 KB compressed. Such an image is used to restore a set with corrupted software, for example one that does not start or loops at power on, by writing the chip with an SPI programmer. Back up the original chip first and make sure the decompressed image matches the 2 MB capacity before programming.
