Panasonic TX-PR42ST50 TNPH0989 25Q40

BIOS .rar 250 KB Shared

Firmware dump for the Panasonic TX-PR42ST50 plasma television, board TNPH0989, from a 25Q40 SPI flash. A 25Q40 holds 4 Mbit (512 KB), matching the 250 KB compressed archive. Small serial flash chips like this often carry boot or auxiliary code on a module, so confirm the chip location before writing. Reprogramming with a CH341A or similar SPI tool can revive a set that will not start after corruption. Save your existing chip contents first and check that the board reads TNPH0989.
