Might be like some Toyota's where the Odometer won't go past 299,000 miles.

I think you might be right.
I figure it should be closer to 74,000 hours now, based on 17 hours a day for 12 years.The power-on counter still works though. It hit 4999 this morning.

Have an older pic I originally posted over on AVS forum from June 2018 when it was almost 57,000 hours then.

65535 equals FFFF in hex...looks like you hit the limit of the counter. 65536 rolls the hex count to 10000.

They probably figured very few people would ever hit the limit.

Excellent observation. I wondered why it would stop at what appeared to be such a random number. Binary makes perfect sense.

Definitely explains it... Thanks!

You might be able to reset the counter.

I accidentally did that on my Samsung LCD set. I did a hard reset back to out of the box condition and it reset the counter as well.
