Sure not a problem.   8)

I'll leave it up until the weekend for you. It's a 650MB ZIP file, just unzip to a flash drive and boot your panel from it. It'll do the rest.

 ;D ;D

Thanks, tstahlfsu. I've downloaded it, extracted the files and copied them to a fresh USB. Now how do I get the 400DXN to boot from the thing? I went into the bios and the only USB options I have for Boot Order are USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM. I tried each of these and none of them worked. What am I missing here?

Probably would've helped to explain a bit more in detail  ;)

To get this to work, you have to make the USB drive "bootable". The drive that Samsung sent me was formatted in FAT16, with the bootable flag. The files were then just dumped to the root of the drive. That should work, but you may have to use a 3rd party app to make the USB drive "bootable" and then just dump the files on it.

At that point, we just inserted the USB drive, powered on the panel, and hit F12 to access the boot menu. It has been a couple months since we restored the panel so I don't remember exactly what option I hit to get it to boot.

I'd upload an actual .iso, but for some reason I can't seem to get it to create one  ::)  The only image that I have available is an Acronis .tib image file. If you have Acronis, then I could put that up on the server for you to download and try.  ;D

I have uploaded eveything you need to this link:

You need the HP software to format your USB stick. be carefull not to format your HD! Then you need to tell the HP utility to look for the DOS files (downloaded them from the link above) and then you have it!

I have also posted a README file for you to follow the steps.

I hope it all helps.

Alright, I got it working, but now I have a screen problem. I noticed my other DXN screens are 1366x768, but with this image you gave me, it's 1360x768. 1360 instead of 1366. Now the image is shifted into the upper left corner of the monitor, black  bar at the bottom and on the right. Also, when it first booted up after it copied the image over, the res was set at 1920x1080...

First off, I'm glad the image at least worked for you  :D

Second, mine is also doing the same thing. I originally thought it should be able to be solved by changing the picture settings on the panel, however those are all greyed out.

I just popped into VNC and, sure enough 1360x768....

I downloaded and installed the monitor .inf driver from samsung.com, no luck. Still 1360x768.

I just popped into the registry, changed the max resolution for the Samsung monitor driver to 1366x768 and rebooted............ and forgot to commit the changes..... :-\ >:( >:(

Apparently I need to leave this at the moment and check it back out in the morning when I am a bit fresher  ;) ;)

Does anyone have this file available for download?

Our 400DXN died this afternoon with a BSOD on every boot and I don't have a recovery image.

Any help appreciated!

Cheers

Have you tried setting up an account on www.samsunglfd.com ? They have the latest build of the Samsung signage images. I can't seem to find my image file that I had up again..

If you have trouble, just reply to this thread.
