Error codes - LED blinking codes
The identification of errors within the FE-2 chassis is triggered in one of two ways:-

1: Busy or 

2: Device failure to respond to IIC. 

In the event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty. If a device is found to be faulty the relevant device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted) See table 1., non fatal errors are reported using this method. Each time the software detects an error it is stored within the NVM.

How to enter into Table 2

Turn on the main power switch of the TV set and enter into the ‘Stanby Mode’.

2. Press the following sequence of buttons on the Remote Commander.

[i+] [5] [Vol --] [TV]

The table 2 will be displayed indicating the error count.

 [To clear the error count data press ‘80’ on the Remote commander.]

Removal of the Anode-Cap

Turn up one side of the rubber cap in the direction indicated by the arrow [a]

Using a thumb pull up the rubber cap firmly in the direction indicated by the arrow [b]

When one side of the rubber cap is separated from the anode button, the anode-cap can be removed by turning up the rubber cap and pulling it up in the direction of the arrow [c]

How to handle the Anode-Cap

To prevent damaging the surface of the anode-cap do not use sharp materials.
2. Do not apply too great a pressure on the rubber, as this may cause damage to the anode connector.
3. A metal fitting called a shatter hook terminal is fitted inside the rubber cap.
4. Do not turn the rubber foot over excessively, this may cause damage if the shatter hook sticks out.

TRANSFORMER ASSY, FLYBACK NX-1748//M3A4)

A new TV Repair Assistance Tool that combines ease of use and powerful PC software tools to allow you to save valuable time during many TV repairs.

The TRACE interface connects to the PC's serial port. It provides connection to the TV's I2C bus and can be provided with an Infra-Red transmitter (optional).

The interface is powered by a standard 9 V PP3 battery for portable use, and can also be powered by an external 9V/25mA DC power supply.

The TRACE software that is supplied with the interface allows you to:

* Read, restore and compare NVM contents via the I2C bus

* Acknowledge check of all I2C devices in the TV set

* Read Error Codes (emulation of the Error Reader tool)

With the optional IR Add-on kit, the following features can be added:

Remote Commander emulation

User programmable Functional Check through Infrared

Fast and documented Test Mode setting of all Sony TV chassis.

Additional features such as Adjustments and Troubleshooting are available in chassis-dependent software modules. Please contact your local Sony Service organization for the latest information.

[For workshops already using the existing I2C Link parallel port interface (9-948-320-30), this software can be used as well, replacing the TV Data Handling software (9-948-340-50), but Error Reader and IR functions can only be accessed with the TRACE interface.]
