Reset of Repaired SSB
When a repaired SSB will be used in an other TV, it is very important
that the correct info is written into the NVM w.r.t.12NC of the SSB,
production serial number of the TV, 12NC of display and PSU, etc.
To set all this, the ComPair tool can be used, or the NVM can be edited
directly via the NVM editor (in SAM). Find below the addresses of these
items. Use the decimal values.
In case of a display replacement, reset the “Operation hours” to “0”, or to the operation hours of the replacement display.
Option
Settings
The
microprocessor communicates with a large number of I2C ICs in the set. To
ensure good communication and to make digital diagnosis possible, the
microprocessor has to know which ICs to address, and what brand and type of
display is used.
Display
code
Changing
the display option code via a standard RC
Key in the code “0 6 2 5 9 8 MENU x x x” (where x x x is the 3 digit decimal display code of the used display *).
Tips:
• Keep the RC close to the IR receiver, and make sure the LED blinks when entering a code.
• Key in all codes in one sequence, without pauses. If the above action is successful, the front LED will go out as an indication that the RC sequence was correct. After the display option is changed in the NVM, the TV will go to the Stand-by mode. If the NVM was corrupted or empty before this action, it will be initialized first (loaded with default values). This initializing can take up to 20 seconds.

The so-called “Project ID” represents a number of different options, all
related to that model number. By
toggling the “arrow left/right” buttons on the RC, the correct model number can
be selected.
• After changing the option (or Project ID), save it by leaving the sub menu via the “Menu/House” button on the RC.

the mains switch (the NVM is then read again).
Power
supply
All power supplies used in this chassis are a
“black box” for Service. When defective, a new board must be ordered and the
defective one must be returned, unless the main fuse of the board is broken.
Always replace a defective fuse with one with the correct specifications! This
part is available in the regular market.
The
only type of power supply used in this platform is the Integrated Power Board
(IPB) - incl. LCD backlight inverters.
It
should be noted that for different display manufacturers, different PSUs can be
used. When ordering a new PSU, always check which LCD panel is used in the set,
and order the correct PSU
Video and Audio Processing - MT822x
The MediaTek MT822x is an ultra high integrated single chip for flat
panel TV. It supports multimedia video/audio input and output format up
to full HDTV. It includes an advanced 3D comb filter/TV decoder to
retrieve the best image from popular composite signals and embedded
HDTV/VGA decoders for high bandwidth input signals. The new 4th
generation advanced motion adaptive and motion estimation de-interlacer
converts accordingly the interlaced video into a progressive one with
overlay of a 2D graphic processor. Independent two flexible scalers
provide wide adoption to various LCD panels for two different video
sources at the same time. The on-chip audio processor decodes the
analogue signals from the tuner with lip sync control, delivering high
quality postprocessed sound effects to the audio amplifier stage. An
on-chip microprocessor reduces the system BOM and shortens the schedule
of UI design by high level C
