Samsung firmware update cannot find update files

Last week I tried to update my brand new Samsung LE40b652 LCD TV.

The proccess is quite simple, download the firmware, extract to a USB-stick and load the firmware from the USB-stick.

But..

For some reason my TV didn’t find any firmware files, until I found the solutions.

If you download the firmware from the “normal” samsung support site, there is a change that the last symbol of your TV-type is not the same.

The download site of the LE40B652 only has downloads for the LE40B652T4W, but my TV is a LE40B652T4P.

There is no way to find the exact type on the normal site.

Go to:

Samsung download

Here you can select the exact type of TV you own!

Now the firmware update worked!
