Panasonic TX55DX650B LED LCD TV - Service adjustments

1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.
2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.
3. After servicing, do the touch current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
4. Always ensure cover label TBM4GU113 is correctly replaced before returning to customer.

Touch-Current Check
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a measuring network for touch currents between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as a water pipe.
3. Use Leakage Current Tester (Simpson 228 or equivalent) to measure the potential across the measuring network.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point.
5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measure.
6. The potential at any point (TOUCH CURRENT) expressed as voltage U1 and U2, does not exceed the following values:
For a. c.: U1 = 35 V (peak) and U2 = 0.35 V (peak);
For d. c.: U1 = 1.0 V,
Note:
The limit value of U2 = 0.35 V (peak) for a. c. and U1 = 1.0 V for d. c. correspond to the values 0.7 mA (peak) a. c. and 2.0 mA d. c.
The limit value U1 = 35 V (peak) for a. c. correspond to the value 70 mA (peak) a. c. for frequencies greater than 100 kHz.
7. In case a measurement is out of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

Preparation
Make pwd file as startup file for (a) or (b) in an empty USB Memory.
1. Insert an empty USB Memory to your PC.
2. Right-click a blank area in a USB Memory window, point to New, and then click text document. A new file is created by default (New Text Document.txt).
3. Right-click the new text document that you just created and select rename, and then change the name and extension of the file to the following file name (a) or (b) and press ENTER.
File name:
(a) For Board replacement: boardreplace.pwd
(b) For Hotel: hotel.pwd

[Make only one file to prevent the operation error.
No any other file should be in USB Memory.]

Data Copy from TV set to USB Memory
1. Turn on the TV set.
2. Insert USB Memory with a startup file (pwd file) to USB Terminal.

Self-check indication and forced to factory shipment setting:

While pressing [VOLUME ( - )] button on the main unit, press and hold the [MENU] button on the remote control for more than 3 seconds.

How to exit

Switch off the power with the [POWER] button on the main unit.

If the CCU ports have been checked and found to be incorrect or not located then " - - " will appear in place of "O.K."

Power LED blinking timing chart

When abnormality has occurred in the unit, the protection circuit operates, and reset to the stand by mode. 

At this time, the defective block can be identified by number of blinking of the Power LED on the front panel of the unit.

LCD Panel Test Mode

To find the possible failure point where in LCD Panel or Printed Circuit Board when the abnormal picture is displayed.

How to Enter

While pressing [VOLUME ( - )] button of the main unit, press [YELLOW] button of the remote control three times.

How to Exit

Switch off the power with the [POWER] button on the main unit or the [POWER] button on the remote control.

How to confirm

If abnormal picture is displayed, go into LCD Panel test mode to display  several test patterns.

Judge by the following method.

Abnormal picture is displayed:

 The cause must be in LCD Panel.

Normal picture is displayed: 

 The cause must be in A board.

Remarks: The test pattern is created by the circuit in the LCD Panel. In LCD Panel test mode,  this test pattern is displayed unaffected by signal processing for RF or input signal.

If the normal picture is displayed, LCD Panel must be okay and the cause of failure should be in A board. No more check.  Replace the A board. In most cases, data copy might be done as described above.
