In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

TOSHIBA - DLP PROJECTION TV_ 46HM84_52HM84_52HMX84_ SYSTEM CONTROL CIRCUIT_TROUBLESHOOTING

TOSHIBA - DLP PROJECTION TV_ 46HM84_52HM84_52HMX84_ System Control Circuit_Troubleshooting





 
 

TOSHIBA - DLP PROJECTION TV_ 46HM84_52HM84_52HMX84_62HMX84_ Video and Audio Signal Flow



     The 2004 DLP televisions are separated into two categories, one being the HM84 HD monitor series and the HM94 HD Integrated series. This will cover the basic design and troubleshooting of the audio and video section of the HM84 HD monitor series. This module is divided into three major areas. We will first discuss the specifications of the input signals and display. Then we will move into the overview and block diagrams of the Audio & Video signal flow. The last portion of this the module will cover troubleshooting the audio and video



NTSC Tuner



Receives the NTSC signal format (525 lines interlaced scanning) for consumer televisions in the United States. A typical NTSC tuner receives VHF channels 2 to 13, UHF channels 14 to 83, and Cable TV channels mid band A8 to A1 and A to I, super band J to W, hyper band AA to ZZ - AAA and BBB, and ultra band 65 to 94 and 100 to 125.



Composite Video



     Refers to a video signal where both the luminance component and the color component(s) are transmitted on a single wire or broadcast in a limited bandwidth. The luminance and color information must be separated before the picture can be displayed.



S-Video (also called Y/C)



     A video signal transmitted as two sub signals requiring two separate wires: luminance (technically referred to as Y) and color (C). Luminance is composed of black and white video signal and the sync signal. Chrominance is the color (modulated on a carrier) video signals.



Component Video


     Not to be confused with Composite video. A video signal transmitted as at least three separate components (sub signals) using separate analog component video referred as Y/Pb/Pr or Y/Cb/Cr. These are labeled as Color Stream inputs on the Rear A/V board. Component Video inputs are used for High Definition (HD) or Standard Definition (SD) signals.

Video and Audio Signal flow





     Note that the Rear A/V jack panel is a hub for most signal inputs, processing and switching. Knowing this, can trace signals to and from the Rear A/V jack panel to its input or output circuits. Additionally, when a problem with an input, output, or the Rear A/V jack panel itself is discovered, the power distribution can be investigated for possible supply problems. Then if no supply problems are discovered, the board at a fault can be repaired.



     This unit is, in some circuit areas, only serviceable to modular level. However it is sometimes an advantage to service non-difficult obvious trouble to component level and repair the problem rather than replace the entire circuit board. This becomes an important aspect if the unit is out of warranty. An interconnect diagram of the signal paths in this unit. Listed on this block are plug numbers, as they are listed on the board, and in the schematics, for both ends of the path.






Rear AV Board connections and components.








     All input sources are routed through the Rear A/V board. This is important to mention because in past PJTV models, the A/V switching IC, QV01, was located on the signal board. As shown in Figure 3, QV01 is located just above the jack panels. Sub-picture processing is done here as well by IC QY501 and QY100. QS01 located toward the lower right hand side, switches the audio selection for the inputs. One interesting area includes service ports used to access data and service protocols.



     Voltage requirements consist of a 9V source and two 5V sources. These voltages are supplied via connector BB70 through the IMA/tuner board. This should be noted since the Rear A/V is not directly connected with the power supply board. Looking at the left side of Figure 4, the input sources are shown with the corresponding connection, if applicable to that particular input source.  Composite and S-video sources are labeled E1, E2 and E3. Figure 4 illustrates the signal path through QV01. Sub picture composite video output at pin 51 is routed to QY100 for comb filtering. Sub picture (PIP or POP) Y/C and Y, Cb, Cr is routed directly to QY501 for signal processing of the sub picture. The output

from QY501 is a Y, Cb, Cr signal. Both the main and sub picture signals are routed through connector PV04 to the DBEP/Signal/G-Hyper Board.



     At the lower right, note the service port connections and plugs are not related to nor directly connected to any video or audio signal paths. This allows direct connection to the data chips located on the DBEP/Signal/G-Hyper Board.







TOSHIBA - DLP PROJECTION TV_ 46HM84_52HM84_52HMX84_Signal Processing

TUNER IF / IMA / AC IN BOARD




     The board  contains three circuit areas of the TV. These include AC input, Tuners and Audio. Starting with the left side of Figure 5, the AC input is located here along with F801. The area outlined in white is the “HOT” GND area and the components located within are not directly related to the other circuits contain on this board. The audio amplifier IC601 is mounted on the heat sink just to the right of the AC line input area. Just below IC601 is preamplifier IC663, BB71 is the connection to the Rear A/V board. The remaining three components on this board are the main (H001) and sub (HY01) tuners and the IF/Main Audio (IMA) processor H002.



     Removing five screws mounted along the outside perimeter of the board is required for board removal. However, the Rear A/V board will need to be removed first.






     Connection BB71 to the Rear A/V board is shown. Audio from HY01 and H002 circuits are routed through BB71 to the Rear A/V

board for switching purposes. The selected audio is then looped back to the IMA circuit H002. The IMA (IF Main Audio) processes the TV’s audio volume, bass, treble, etc. The IMA audio output is then sent to preamplifier Q663 then applied to IC601 for amplification to the speakers. Mute circuits are implemented in the preamp and amplifier circuits, details will be covered in the troubleshooting area of the manual. The sub-audio, labeled A-TV2, is a mono signal. The audio signal is not routed back to H002, but applied to the monitor audio output jacks. Using sub, PIP/POP, audio feature of this model, the user has the option of selecting the monitor jack audio to be either main or sub audio.



     Two video sources are developed on this board. Main tuner H001 outputs an IF signal to H002. The signal is demodulated and decoded into video and audio signals. The composite video signal is then routed from H002 pin 7 as V-TV1 to the Rear A/V for switching purposes. The sub-picture developed in HY01 is sent as a composite signal to the Rear A/V board for switching as well. The gray area at the bottom of Figure 6 shows the AC IN path block diagram, again not directly related to the audio or video.



SIGNAL / G - HYPER / DIGITAL BACK END PROCESSOR









     AKA (Also Known As), the DBEP, this board incorporates several circuits discussed in past PJTV models as “separate” circuits. In this training module, “Signal” and “G-Hyper” along with this board.  The TV micro and DLP control micro are located here, along with keypad and IR receiver connections.



     The actual board is shown, however the PC board takes on a much different look due to metal shielding surrounding it. Disassembly of the shields is done by removing six (6) screws holding the to halves together. No soldering is required to remove or replace the shielding. A small pair of needle nose is required to straighten eight (8) tabs in order to fully release the shields. In most cases, troubleshooting can be done directly from the connections at top and bottom without removing any shielding. The DBEP/G-Hyper/Signal board is a replacement module, so troubleshooting to component level in not necessary.



     Arrows and IC’s outlined represent the video signal flow. This gives a brief overview of the actual board and component locations dealing with the signal flow.







TOSHIBA - DLP PROJECTION TV_ 46HM84_52HM84_52HMX84_ SIGNAL PROCESSING




     The main signal, either composite or component is sent to IC210.  The TC90A92AFG IC features a built-in 3-line digital comb filter and 3D luma and chroma noise reduction system. The chip embedded with 4-Mbit of internal frame memory includes an integrated digital multi-standard color decoder with picture improvement functions. The output is a digital Y, Cb, Cr output.  The Genesis chip, IC203, processes and formats the signals to a 1920X1080i format. The GM6015 Genesis chip is a video converter that incorporates deinterlacing with scaling and aspect ratio conversions for standard and high definition signals. The output is in 4:2:2 format, basically stating four of the luminance pixels are sampled, two of the R-Y pixels are sampled and two B-Y pixels are sampled.

     IC301 is the Digital Back-End Processor.  The TC90A94TBG is an RGB processor with built in scaling, signal conversion, and high image quality functions. The OSD is incorporated here from the main TV micro as an RGB signal. The output is a digital RGB 30 bit single-phase signal. Power supply source includes 3.3V, 2.5 V and 1.5V. Low Voltage Differential Signal, or LVDS, is used to transfer the signal to the Talen Light Engine at IC311.


TROUBLESHOOTING

     When troubleshooting any video or audio related issues, keep in mind the logical flow of the signal paths. A couple of areas should always be considered; one example would be user settings. It is important to check user settings prior to any troubleshooting. For example, the speakers could be set to the “off” or external position causing a perceived no audio condition or video inputs could be locked or blocked resulting in a no video condition. Another area is simple A/V connections to the unit. These problems can range from defective A/V cables to simply having the incorrect connection. Ever had a hum from a unit to find the video signal is connected to one of the audio input channels?

VIDEO 

     When troubleshooting any video or audio related issues, keep in mind the logical flow of the signal paths. A couple of areas should always be considered; one example would be user settings. It is important to check user settings prior to any troubleshooting. For example, the speakers could be set to the “off” or external position causing a perceived no audio condition or video inputs could be locked or blocked resulting in a no video condition. Another area is simple A/V connections to the unit. These problems can range from defective A/V cables to simply having the incorrect connection. Ever had a hum from a unit to find the video signal is connected to one of the audio input channels?

     Once  have determined a signal loss, always check other available inputs.  This technique of troubleshooting will help identify the board or circuit causing the problem.
     Once have narrowed the search down to one, or multiple, inputs, it is recommended to input a source video or audio signal you are familiar with.
This is where logic and simple troubleshooting procedures should be taken into account, assuming there are not any error codes from the front LED indicators.  If the lamp were not working, this would definitely cause a no picture condition.

     The next item would be if the TV has an OSD (On-Screen Display). This would have been apparent when verifying the user settings. If the OSD is present, at least the DPEB/GHyper/ Signal Board is sending an output to the light engine.

     Check the DBEP/G-Hyper/Signal inputs. Figure below shows the schematic cut away of the connector PJ16. The circled numbers represent the signal troubleshooting area and figure 10 shows the waveform viewed with an oscilloscope. A signal here will indicate the problem is before to the DBEP/G-Hyper/Signal Board. Using the supplied diagrams and circuit schematics, one could logically pin point the trouble area.








LIGHT ENGINE

     Service Tip - White Lines in Picture: For uniform vertical white lines (about 1 inch a part) extending from the top and bottom of the screen, as shown in Figure.  A red raster is shown in the figure for photographic reasons. However, the lines are very noticeable while viewing a normal picture. Notice the on screen display (OSD) is good, but the lines still appear within the OSD. To the right of the letters CWDL, the lines break up where a letter would be.

     TIP:  With the quick restart feature “on”, the unit will be in a restart standby mode for 5 to 6 minutes. During this restart standby time, the lamp wattage is reduced to 30% and the front green LED lamp will flash. This indication of the LED is to confirm the unit is in the restart standby mode. In a dark room, the picture will appear to have an after glow effect. This can be used to your advantage for troubleshooting. If a picture defect is present and you suspect the problem to be the light engine, you should see the same defect during the restart standby time. Basically, the only circuit in operation will be the light engine.  Again, the TV must be in a very dark environment to achieve this type of evaluation.

     Consider the example of the “white lines in picture”. These lines would be apparent during the restart standby time.




AUDIO

     In the case of no audio and having checked the user settings, go directly to audio amplifier (IC601) and check for inputs and outputs along with voltage supplies.  High wattage areas are always a good starting point. Shown in Figure  are the pin connections for IC601. IN-1 is the left audio channel and IN-2 is the right audio channel. The outputs from Q601 are pin 2 (left audio) and pin 12 (right audio). When probing the output, ake sure the ground side is connected to either pin 4 or 10, depending on the output being tested. The audio output does not reference a common ground.

     Another technique for testing the audio signal is to scope the variable audio output located on the rear of the unit. A signal here will indicate the audio signal is present from the pre-amp driver (IC663).






MUTE



     The next following diagrams will cover mute controls. All mute signals are generated from the main micro and this TV has several selections of mute control. One mute control is through the TV’s menu as main speaker “on” or “off”. Another control is the mute key located on the remote control. This feature has three selections: ½ mute, mute and off. The ½ mute is an I2C controlled feature to the IMA board H002, not part of the any mute circuits. Basically stating, when the ½ mute is selected, the IMA circuit receives this command from the main micro and the IMA circuit reduces the audio level by ½ depending on the initial audio level.



     Another audio mute is done during channel change and no signal conditions; this is called the Mute–A line. See Figure 15. A signal from the main micro on the Mute-A line will apply a voltage to the base of transistors Q681 and Q682. With these NPN transistors “on”, the audio output lines from the preamp IC663 is pulled to a ground potential and no audio signal is input to IC601 amplifier.  Under normal conditions, the base of transistors Q681 and Q682 will be 0 volts.






     Speaker Mute is a feature located in the user menu, allowing the speakers to be turned “on” or “off”. The control line is referred to as SP_MUTE in the schematics. See Figure 16 for circuit details. Checking this circuit can be as easy as checking the voltage at pin 9 of IC601, as shown in Figure 16 with the “5V=Mute On”.

     Step back for a moment and follow the SP_MUTE signal sent from the micro. The SP_MUTE voltage is applied to the base of Q614, allowing it to conduct. This removes the 5V line from the base of Q613 and turns “off” this PNP transistor. This allows the 5V potential to be applied the pin 9 of the audio amplifier. Pin 9 is IC601’s internal mute circuit. In a normal condition, Q614 is “off” and Q613 is “on”.






CONTROLS:
 
     At first glance, the 2004 DLP Television system control area looks rather complicated. However, by viewing system control as two separate, but related, areas, we can easily clear the confusion generated by the use of 2 microprocessors and 2 EEPROMs.

     Both are located on the G-Hyper/Signal/DBEP circuit board. But, before panic sets in, let us first mention that a problem with either
section can be resolved by replacement of the circuit board. The difficulty lies in properly assessing the situation in order to make the determination that the board requires replacement.
     Being on the subject of replacement parts makes this a good time to insert Table 1, a list of G-Hyper/Signal/DBEP circuit board part
numbers – by model.
MODEL                     PART NUMBER
46HM84                     23148133
52HM84                     23148131
52HMX84                  23148134
62HM84                     23148132
62HMX84                  23148135
   The main System microprocessor (IC601) is still the central component of system control. In some fashion, it communicates with all other circuit areas to control functionality and monitor circuit operations.
The second microprocessor, IC501, is basically a message handler, relaying information from the TALEN light engine to the main system microprocessor. Oddly enough, while IC501 is called the Backend Process (BEP) micro, it is not in direct communication with the Digital Backend Processor [DBEP] chip, IC301.

The main system micro is central to control operations


     The M306V7MG-082FP chip used is a 100-pin single-chip flat pack microcomputer designed for use in Closed-Caption televisions, such as the 2004 DLP product line. The chip, with 256K of internal ROM (read-only-memory), 10K of RAM (random-access-memory), 60K OSD ROM, and 2.2K OSD RAM, is a mask ROM version. Meaning that the IC’s basic programming is done during the fabrication process, is not expected to change, and is not user programmable.  The chip operates within the parameters defined by the initial programming.  That is not to say, however, that televisions using this type of chip are locked into one-way performances. The user can change certain aspects of operation, with
the data related to those changes being stored in the system EEPROM, IC603 (Figure 3). Rarely does a customer watch a television in the original out-of-the box state. Each time a change is made, be it as simple as a volume level adjustment, that data is stored in IC603.


     The AT24C256N EEPROM shown in Figure 3 is a 256K bit, 8 pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with an operating voltage of 2.7V (max. of 5.5V). Two-way communication between this chip and the system microprocessor allows user controlled data to be written to the EEPROM, stored, and fed back to the microprocessor at start-up. The process ensures that when a customer turns on his/her television, it looks and sounds like it did when it was turned off.  Communication takes place over the Serial Clock (SCL) and Serial Data (SDA) lines that compose the I2C bus running throughout the 2004 DLP television.  While Figure 4 shows us that the information traveling on this bus is dispatched and received on the G-per/Signal/DBEP circuit board, it is all routed through the Power Supply circuit board before being detoured to the various final destinations.
Illustrates the locations of the key ingredients in microprocessor operation.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE
     Two operating voltages are supplied to IC601 from the Standby power supply. Both are required for proper operation, but each powers a separate area of the IC.
  1. The system I/O area of IC601 is powered by 5V (5V-1 line) at pin 99 (VCCE). The 5V supply is generated by the Standby power supply
      2. The chip’s internal logic area is powered by 3.3V applied to pin 16 (VCCI). The  voltage is supplied by regulator IC606 (pin 1) and is derived from the 5V standby voltage.
GROUND
To form a completed circuit, IC601 is grounded at pin 14 (VSS).
TIMING
     Clock generation is accomplished by connecting 10Mhz crystal oscillator X6001 between pins 13 (XOUT) and 15 (XIN).
     Regulator IC606 (pin 4), supplies the reset signal needed to refresh the microprocessor each time the unit is turned ON.

COMMUNICATION
     Each time the unit is powered ON, information is exchanged between EEPROM IC603 (pins 5 & 6) and system microprocessor IC601 (pins 28 & 31). Clock (TV_SCL0) and data (TV_SDA0), shown in Figure 8, information is exchanged to sync the two chips and load “last status” information into the microprocessor.  This “last status” information contains all user settings memorized the last time the unit was powered OFF.
BRANCHING OUT
     The system microprocessor begins transmitting to and receiving information from all other circuits connected to the I2C bus. Activity on the clock
(SCL1) and data (SDA1) lines, IC601 pins 29 & 30 respectively, can be monitored with an oscilloscope. Expect a very busy 5Vp-p waveform on either line. A 3V DC level will be measured with a standard voltmeter, with minor fluctuations in the DC level indicating activity.
     As the G-Hyper/DBEP/Signal circuit board is completely shielded and replaced as a module, suspected problems can be evaluated most easily by checking the central connection point. In the 2004 DLP television, the power supply circuit board serves as that central point, or hub. Referencing the block diagram of Figure 10, we see that connector PJ13 (pins 6 & 7) carries I2C information to the power supply circuit board PA01 (pins 6 & 7).
 
     A look at the actual interconnection between the two circuit boards, shows us that troubleshooting can be accomplished with less difficulty by checking the PA01 side.

     The I2C bus reaches beyond the power supply circuit board to connect with the Tuner IF/IMA circuit board through the BB11 to BB10 board-to-board connections. Clock (pin 12) and data (pin 11) information, used by the Tuner IF/IMA circuits to control tuning and audio processing, is also forwarded to the Rear A/V section over the BB71 to BB70 connections (pins 19 and 20) to accommodate the video and audio switching functions.


     Taking things a step further, Figure 13 shows us the connections to main tuner H001 (pins 4 & 5), IMA block H002 (20 & 21), and sub-picture tuner HY01 (pins 10 & 11).

[Click on image.  Right click on the enlarged image, save image as, to a folder (My document > My  Pictures).  

     From the connections to H002, the I2C lines continue through the BB71 to BB70 connector (pins 19 & 20) to the Rear A/V circuit board. Once on the Rear A/V circuit board, Figure 14 shows us that the lines are routed to:

 #  Video switching IC QV01 [pins 45&46]
 # Audio switching IC QS01 [pins 22 & 23]

SUB-PICTURE PROCESSING



     As shown in Figure above, the I2C bus is also directed from the power supply circuit board through PV13 (pins 1 & 2) to HDMI module P202 (pins 1 & 2). I2C control of the HDMI module establishes not only functionality of the module, but also the necessary permissions required for viewing copy protected content using this all digital input.

     As shown in Figure, the I2C bus is also directed from the power supply circuit board through PV13 (pins 1 & 2) to HDMI module P202 (pins 1 & 2). I2C control of the HDMI module establishes not only functionality of the module, but also the necessary permissions required for viewing copy protected content using this all digital input.

     There are two minor exceptions to the central hub troubleshooting theory.  Operations carried out by remote control (IR) or manual keypad are transmitted to the microprocessor via direct connections to the G-Hyper/DBEP/Signal circuit boards. The block diagram of Figure 16 shows us that keypad operations are carried over PB91 (pins 5 & 6-keypad side) and PJ18 (pins 5 & 6–Signal side).

     Both signals, Key 1 and Key 2, enter IC604 (pins 6 & 7) where they are mixed and output (pin 5) as C_KEY_AB_SW (Figure 17) before entering the microprocessor at pin 78.



KEYPAD

     The keypad used in the 2004 DLP television relies on touch controls, rather than mechanical switches. Additionally, control via keypad is accomplished digitally through IC’s QA91 and QA92.



Key 1 Signals – QA91                                      Key 2 Signals – QA92

POWER (pin 22)                                                 CHANNEL DOWN (pin 22)
MENU (pin 21)                                                    CHANNEL UP (pin 21)
VOLUME DOWN (pin 19)                                  EXIT (pin 19)
VOLUME UP (pin 18)                                         TV / VIDEO (pin 18)


     Measurements can be most conveniently taken at pins 5 and 6 of PJ18 when troubleshooting suspected keypad problems. Either an oscilloscope or VOM can be used to monitor changes on the Key 1 or Key 2 lines whenever one of the front panel keys is pressed.

IR RECEIVER

     The IR receiver, KB01, is powered by the 5V-1 (Standby) supply line to pin 4 of PB22. When KB01 receives a command from the hand unit, the signal, carried between PB22 and PJ17 (G-Hyper/DBEP/Signal circuit board), travels to the system microprocessor (pin 7) via the RMT IN line at pin 3.  The system microprocessor also outputs the RMT OUT signal (pin 26) to IR transmitter DB03 (pin 1 of PB22) for IR Blaster functions.





     In addition to issuing control commands from inputs received, the system microprocessor also monitors other circuit areas of the 2004 DLP television.  Either directly or indirectly, the system microprocessor keeps a watchful eye on certain areas (Figure 20), shutting the unit down if problems are sensed.  Technical Training module DLP-04-4 Power Supply and Shutdown took great pains to identify and explain the individual protection circuits, so there is no need to repeat that information here. For the sake of review, however, we will provide a list of those circuits in this text.
  • Lamp door switch.
  • Color wheel exhaust fan rotation.
  • Color wheel temperature sensor.
  • DMD fan rotation.
  • DMD temperature sensor.
Of the five circuits listed, three are directly monitored by the system microprocessor.
LAMP DOOR SWITCH
     The circuit operates by monitoring the door switch in the lamp assembly. If the lamp door is left open, a signal is sent to the system microprocessor (pin 49) on the POWERCTL line, invoking a shutdown. A signal is also sent to pin 19 of the system microprocessor (DOOR_OPEN) to identify this particular shutdown.


Color wheel & DMD fan rotation

     One circuit linked to the system microprocessor at pin 49 monitors both the DMD fan and the Color wheel exhaust fans. In the event fan rotation ceases, a signal is sent down the POWERCTL line to trigger unit shutdown. As this is the same line used to trigger a lamp door open shutdown, the microprocessor relies on the above mentioned DOOR_OPEN signal to pin 19 to be the determining factor in identifying the type of shutdown.



     The remaining shutdown circuits are indirectly monitored by the system microprocessor by way of communication with the Backend Process (BEP) microprocessor, shown in Figure 23. Another single chip microcomputer, the 100-pin M30626FHPGP is up to the task of relaying real-time temperature information to the system microprocessor for the purpose of protecting against over-temperature situations.

Color Wheel and DMD Temperature

     BEP microprocessor IC501 monitors color wheel and DMD temperature at pins 1 (FANDAC2) and 2 (FANDAC1), sending that information to the system microprocessor. IC601, in turn, uses the information to alter fan speed to accommodate changes in temperature. Should the temperature rise to harmful levels, the system microprocessor shuts the unit down to avoid damage.


BEP Microprocessor

  The BEP microprocessor also communicates with the DMD panel and the lamp ballast supply to accomplish other tasks, as instructed through communication with the system microprocessor. These tasks involve altering the operating parameters of the lamp ballast supply and the DMD panel to coincide with user preferences regarding lamp power usage and video display choices. EEPROM IC503, the same type used by the system microprocessor, assists the BEP microprocessor in these tasks by providing the same functions IC603 provides to IC601.

Two Way Communication

      The BEP microprocessor also communicates with the DMD panel and the lamp ballast supply to accomplish other tasks, as instructed through communication with the system microprocessor. These tasks involve altering the operating parameters of the lamp ballast supply and the DMD panel to coincide with user preferences regarding lamp power usage and video display choices. EEPROM IC503, the same type used by the system microprocessor, assists the BEP microprocessor in these tasks by providing the same functions IC603 provides to IC601.
SERVICE MODE CHECKS

     This type of communication allows for adjustments, updates, troubleshooting, and occasional repairs. While access to the system microprocessor offers convenience in these areas, it must be noted that other parameters of operation may inadvertently be changed if extreme caution is not used whenever the feature is activated.




     The upper level of data, stored in EEPROM IC603 and used by the system microprocessor, can be accessed and manipulated, as necessary, by entering unit service mode in the manner described in the unit service manual.  Alterations to data at this level may be required during general service procedures and are typically accomplished by remote control. While inadvertent changes in this area are not generally life threatening to the unit, functionality and features may be negatively influenced. The best practice when working with this level of data involves recording address and data values prior to making adjustments to the stored data. Changes to the stored data must be saved, as described in the unit service manual, following any necessary alterations.

Service Mode Entry Method

  • Press the "Mute" button twice on the customer remote control.  Press "Mute" button again and Hold it while pressing the "Menu" button on the front panel of the TV set.
  • A Service Mode indication will be given by the presence of an "S" displayed in the upper right of the screen.
  • Press "Menu" button on the remote control, or "Menu" button on the front panel of the TV to enter the adjustment Menu.
  • Use Ch UP / Ch Dn button to access the selected register requiring change.  In the case DMD Bias the display  will indicate "DMDB".  Color Wheel Delay will use display "CWDL" and "CWDH".
  • Use Vol Up / Vol Dn to adjust the value of the selected register.  
  • To "EXIT" service mode, press the Power button to turn Off the TV  Note:  With DLP product there is a normal delay  for picture to return with a quick On and Off cycle.
Service Interface Ports

      The 2004 DLP television includes service interface ports, added to the Rear A/V panel for convenience. The ports (Figure 26) are designed for use with the Toshiba Service Interface Tool (P/N – IICB) and accessible to service so equipped following the removal of the access panel located above S-Video inputs 1 and 2. Use of the ports constitutes direct communication with the system EEPROM, BEP EEPROM, and G-Hyper functional memory over the I2C bus. The service interface tool can be used to write initial or updated data to these areas, if so required. As much of the stored data in these areas is model specific, take care to select the correct data files to be written. For diagnostic purposes, data can be copied and saved as a file to be written to another unit or, under certain circumstances, sent to Toshiba for evaluation.

Complete instructions regarding these issues will be included with the Toshiba Service Interface Kit –P/N IICB


Flash Memory

     The actual system microprocessor programming (mask) can be re-written (updated) if the need arises. Figure shows Flash ROM IC609, used for just such a purpose.

SOFTWARE REVISION FOR CLOCK TIME LOSS PROBLEM

     If On-Screen Clock looses approximately 7 minutes every 24 hours, replace IC609 [EPROM] on the OPSS / Scaler Module using part number [23085328].  This device uses a plug in socket.
