SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

LED BLINKING PATTERNS AND MONITORING ITEMS
(1) The following table shows LED blinking patterns to be used for reporting causes in the case of safety shutdown.
(2) Since the TV set is provided with many failure items, causes of shutdown can be identified by the following blinking patterns.

LED blinking times	Item	Abbreviation	Description	Detection location
2	Abnormal inner temperature	Panel TEMP ERR	Panel module overheating detected.	Communication between LM75 and I2C
3	+B power OVP	+B_OVP	6.5V (inverter power) overvoltage detected.	Unregulated 6.5V line
4	Fan error	FAN_ERR	Malfunction of any fan detected	Return voltage from fan (L/H detected by the circuit)
6	Low B power error	LowB_ERR	Power low of main power supply (for set’s load) detected.	10.5V line
7	Speaker protection	Audio_Prot	Amplifier output error (short-circuit, no power supply to K board) detected.	K board
8	Digital power OVP	D_OVP	Overvoltage for T-CON detected.	Panel 5V
9	Backlight error	B_LIGHT _ERR	Inverter error detected.	Panel module (inverter with power supply)

DISPLAYING SERVICE MENU
(1) Turn ON the power of the TV set, and drive it into the standby mode by the remote control.
(2) Press the buttons on the remote control as follows.

DISPLAY >  TEN KEY “5” >  VOL “+” >  TV POWER

For errors eith symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes out” that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurances of failure for confirmation on the screen:
To bring up screen test
In stand by mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in repid succession as shown below:
DISPLAY >  TEN KEY “5” > VOL“-” > TV power >  Note that this differs from entering the service mode(mode volume “+”)
