The power LED can be forced to duplicate the number of blinks of the first and last SOS conditions detected by the TV. This can be done while the power LED is blinking after a shutdown condition has occurred.

Procedure:

To duplicate the number of blinks of the last SOS detected.

While the power LED is blinking, press the “VOL+” on the remote control once to make the power LED blink the same number of times as the last blinking code detected by the TV.

To duplicated the number of blinks of the first SOS detected.

Press the “VOL-” once to make the power LED match the number of blinks of the first SOS blinking code detected.

This can help in determining if the symptom shown by the TV when it first failed (Most likely during operation), has changed to another blinking code when checked by the service technician.

Press VOL+ to see the last SOS detected

If the power LED continues to blink even after the TV is unplugged, press and hold the power switch on the TV for a few seconds until the LED turns off.

Some steps require removal of connectors and sometimes PC boards removal. Do not allow the TV to run for more than 30 seconds while connectors or boards are disconnected.

NOTE: When taking voltage reading, place your meter’s probe on the test point or pin indicated before connecting the TV to the AC line. The voltage you intent to measure may only appear for a brief moment.

Warning: The Vsus line has large capacitors that hold the charge for some time even after the TV has been turned off and unplugged. When disconnecting P2/SC2 or P11/SS1, bleed the remaining charge of the Vsus before reconnecting the cable.

Use a 500 ohms/ 5W (At least) resistor to discharge the Vsus line before reconnecting P2/SC2 or P11/SS11.

6 Blinks Error Code Circuit Explanation

6 Blinks SOS

Energy Recovery/Vscan

The energy recovery circuit and Vscan are monitored in the SC board. Failure of any these 2 circuits triggers the SOS6 line causing the unit to shut down and the power LED to blink 6 times.Under normal operation, the output voltage (MID) of the “Energy Recovery” circuit ranges between 68V and 138V. If the voltage drops below 67V or increases above 139V, the error detect circuit (IC16581) is triggered. This causes a high to be output to pin 15 of connector SC20.Pin 15 of SC20 (SOS6-SC1) also goes high, if the Vscan generating circuit fails.

The voltage from SC20 is connected to the Peaks – LDA3 (IC8000) on the A board via the DC level shifter section of the ASIC (Application Specific) IC (IC5000)If this voltage goes high, the TV shuts down and the power LED blinks 6 times.

This condition is normally caused by a defective SC, A, or P board. (SC>A>P).6 blinks can also be caused by open connection between the C boards and open connection between any of the C board and the A board.

Cautions: Disconnect the AC Power prior to making any disconnection or connection.

If the power LED continues to blink even after the TV is unplugged, press and hold the power switch on the TV for a few seconds until the LED turns off.

When taking voltage reading, place the voltmeter probe at the test point, component, or connector’s pin indicated before connecting the TV to the AC line. This will ensure voltage reading accuracy before the TV shuts down. (Since the TV is shutting down, expect the voltage to only come up a couple of seconds.)

Preparation:Disconnect AC Power prior to making any disconnection or connection. Wait at least 2 minutes before the removal of any connector.Remove the front cabinet and expose the panel to a bright light for a thorough visual inspection. Check for cracks and blown pixels or any other abnormalities.Check for burnt panel driver ICs on the SU and SD boards.If the panel is defective, the SU, SD, and/or the SC board may also be defective.

Warning: The Vsus line has large capacitors that hold the charge for some time even after the TV has been turned off and unplugged. When disconnecting P2/SC2 or P11/SS1, bleed the remaining charge of the Vsus before reconnecting the cable.

Use a 500 ohms/ 5W (At least) resistor to discharge the Vsus line before reconnecting P2/SC2 or P11/SS11.

Quick Procedure To Check For Short or Low Resistance Condition of the Vsus, Vda, and P15V Lines

1. Make sure the TV is disconnected.

2. Remove any residual charge from the Vsus and Vda lines by momentarily grounding them through a 500 ohms resistor (At least 5Watts).

3. Measure the resistance between chassis ground and the pins indicated on the table below. A dead short or a reading lower than 1K indicates a shorted or partially shorted line.

Note: Vsus is generated by the Power supply and is only used by the SS and SC boards

Vda is generated by the Power supply and is only used by the Panel (Panel Drive ICs)

P15V is generated by the Power supply and is used by the A, SS, and SC boards

Test points for the Vsus, Vda, and P15V can be easily found on the P board. To check for short circuit or low resistance on these lines, follow this procedure:

8 Blinks Error Code

The SOS Detect circuit in the Sustain board monitors:Physical connection between the panel and the SS board.The output of the sustain drive circuit.

Under normal condition, Q16280 is on. When Q16280 is on, a low is provided to the anode of D16255.If any abnormality occurs on the sustain drive circuit or one of the FPC cables (SS53, SS54 or SS56) opens, Q16255 turns off and a high is provided to the anode of D16255 (D255). This high is provided to pin 10 of IC5000 on the A board. When this happens, the TV shuts down and the power LED blinks 8 times.

To determine if the 8 blinks is caused by the A board, SS board, or the Panel:• Isolate the SS board and check if the TV stays on when it’s turned on.• If the TV does not stay on after disconnecting the SS board, the A board is defective. • If the TV stays on, then the SS or the Panel is defective. • Check continuity between pins 1 and 2 of connectors SS53, SS54 and SS56. If open, the panel might

be defective. (Check for loose connection between the flex-cables and the SS board).• If continuity is OK, the SS board is defective.

1. Abnormality of the Sustain drive circuit.

2. Open or loose connection between the SS board and FPCs from the panel.

3. When SS53, SS54 or SS56 are disconnected.

4. When SC20 is disconnected.

5. Wrong diagnostic by the A board

These 5 conditions can cause the TV to shut down and the power LED to blink 8 times

8 Blinks Error Detect Circuit

Cautions: Disconnect the AC Power prior to making any disconnection or connection.

Wait at least 2 minutes before the removal of any connector.

If the power LED continues to blink even after the TV is unplugged, press and hold the power switch on the TV for a few seconds until the LED turns off.

When taking voltage reading, place the voltmeter probe at the test point, component, or connector’s pin indicated before connecting the TV to the AC line. This will ensure voltage reading accuracy before the TV shuts down. (Since the TV is shutting down, expect the voltage to only come up a couple of seconds.)

Warning: The Vsus line has large capacitors that hold the charge for some time even after the TV has been turned off and unplugged. When disconnecting P2/SC2 or P11/SS1, bleed the remaining charge of the Vsus before reconnecting the cable.

Use a 500 ohms/ 5W (At least) resistor to discharge the Vsus line before reconnecting P2/SC2 or P11/SS11.

11 Blinks Error Code Explanation

The ventilation fans are monitored to be sure they are operating properly. If one of the fans opens or increases resistance, the resulting current change is applied to pin 61 of the main CPU (IC8000).

The fan drive circuit is located on the A board. To control the speed of the fan, a control voltage from the microprocessor(IC8000) is applied to IC5607. If any of the fans is removed or becomes defective, a high is output at the corresponding pin (pin 3, 9, or 12) of the fan connector (A8) to forward bias the inline diode. The DC output of the diode is provided to pin 61 of IC8000 to trigger the SOS condition.

Quick Procedure To Check For Short or Low Resistance Condition of the Vda Line

1. Make sure the TV is disconnected.

2. Remove any residual charge from the Vda line by momentarily grounding them through a 500 ohms resistor (At least 5Watts).

3. Measure the resistance between chassis ground and the pins indicated on the table below. A dead short or a reading lower than 1K indicates a shorted or partially shorted line.

Vda is generated by the Power supply and is only used by the Panel (Panel Drive ICs)

Test points for the Vda can be easily found on the P board. To check for short circuit or low resistance on this line, follow this procedure:

Procedure to Check The Power Supply (Without Any Load)

The Power Supply can be tested without any load by removing several connectors from the P and A boards.

Remove the following connectors from the P board:

P2, P11, and P35.

Remove the following connectors from the A board :

A11, A12, A20, A31, A32, A14, and A40.

Procedure:

1. Plug in the TV. The relays from the P board should click. (Note: if a second click is heard approximately 10~15 seconds after the 1st click, the F15V is confirmed to be present.)

2. Turn the power on. (Note: The power LED should turn on and the fans should be running. If this is the case, measure the Vsus and Vda.)

Vsus can be measured on pin 1 of connector P2 or P11.

Vda can be measured on pin 1 of connector P35.

3. If these voltages are OK, then the power supply is OK. (Note: The TV won’t turn on if there is a short circuit on the P15V.)

Note: If there is a short circuit on the Vsus or Vda lines while this test is conducted;

• The SOS4_PS is not triggered. Pin 4 of connector P6 stays low. (Note: The PS SOS only monitors over-voltage conditions.

• The TV will still turn on without Vsus or Vda.

• The fans will continue to run.

Caution: Do not allow the TV to run for more than 30 seconds when isolating the power supply.
