How do I update firmware on Philips 10BDL3051T 10" Android 4.4.4 Screen ?

The Philips 10BDL3051T 10" monitor is an Android-based 10" screen much used for Meeting rooms. Occasionally it requires updated Philips firmware. Here is how to do the update.

Note: Recommended for experienced users. Ensure that the model is correct. This does only apply to the selected model. 

This firmware update solves the issue with Databeat Doorsign: Not able to retrieve meetings from Office 365. Message.... (See below). 
This issue is related to an expired security certificate.

Databeat released a temporary patch (07.10.2020) that automatically bypasses this issue. The screens will continue to work with this patch, but is less secure.
We STRONGLY recommend doing this update to secure the system.
