Diagnostic Software Descriptions And Troubleshooting

5. Diagnostic Software Descriptions And Troubleshooting

5.1 Dealerscript

5.1.1 Purpose Of Dealer Script

The dealer script can give a diagnosis on a standalone DVD
player; no other equipment is needed to perform a number of
hardware tests to check if the DVD player is faulty. The
diagnosis issimply a "error" or "pass"message; no indication
is given of faulty hardware modules. Only tests within the
scope of the diagnostic software will be executed hence only
faults within this scope can be detected.

5.1.2 Contents Of Dealer Script

The dealer script executes all diagnostic nuclei that do not
need any user interaction and are meaningful on a
standalone DVD player.
The nuclei called in the dealer script are the following (the
number after each nucleus name corresponds with the
number being on the local display when the nucleus is
executed during the dealer script):

5.2 Player Script

5.2.1 Purpose Of Player Script

The Player script will give the opportunity to perform a test
that will determine which of the DVD player's modules are
faulty, to read the error log and error bits and to perform an
endurance loop test. To successfully perform the tests, the
DVD player must be connected to a tv set to check the output
of a number of nuclei. For DVDv2b a multi-channel amplifier,
a set of 6 boxes and an external video source are necessary
to test. To be able to check results of certain nuclei, the
player script expects some interaction of the user (i.e. to
approve a test picture or a test sound). Some nuclei (e.g.
nuclei that test functionality of the Basic Engine module)
require that the DVD player itself is opened, to enable the
user to observe moving parts and approve their movement
visually. Only tests within the scope of the diagnostic
software will be executed hence only faults within this scope
can be detected.

5.2.2 Contents Of Player Script

The player script contains all nuclei that are useful on a DVD
player that is connected to a tv-set and help to determine
which module of the DVD player is faulty, as well as to read
out the contents of the error logs.

5.2.3 Structure Of Player Script

The player script consists of a set of nuclei testing the three
hardware modules in the DVD player: the Display PWB, the
Digital PWB and the Basic Engine.
Nuclei run by the player test need some user interaction; in
the next paragraph this interaction is described. The player
test is done in two phases:

1. Interactive tests: this part of the player test depends
strongly on user interaction and input to determine
nucleus results and to progress through the full test.
Reading the error log and error bits information can be
useful to determine any errors that occurred recently
during normal operation of the DVD player.

2. The loop test will loop through the list of nuclei
indefinitely, till theNEXT key is pressed. The list ofnuclei
is as follows:

• VideoColSetupComm

• VideoScartSwComm

• PapChksFlash

• PapI2cNvram

• CompSdramWrR

• PapS2bEcho

• PapI2cDisp

For DSW version 1.6 and above. the DSW version number
will be displayed on the local display. Press NEXT to
continue to the display test.

5.3.1 Display Test

The display test is performed by nucleus DispDisplay. By
putting a series of test patterns on the local display, the local
display is tested. To step through all different patterns, the
user must either press PLAY (pattern is ok) or PAUSE
(pattern was incorrect) to proceed to the next pattern. The
display of patterns is continued in a cyclic manner until the
user presses NEXT. If the user presses NEXT before all
display patterns are tested, the DispDisplay nucleus will
return TRUE (display test successful).

second digit increased by 1.
If the user does not press all keys minimally once (in any
order), theDispKeys nucleus will return FALSE and causean
error in the overall result of the player script.
The test will also pass if all buttons, except the microphone
key buttons, are pressed.
The user can leave the keyboard test by pressing the NEXT
key on the local display of the DVD player for at least one full
second.

5.3.3 Keyboard Test

The keyboard of the DVD player is tested by nucleus
DispKeyb. The user is expected to press all keys on the local
keyboard once. The code of the key pressed is shown on the
local display (1 hexadecimal digit) immediately followed by a
(hexadecimal) number indicating how many times that key
has been pressed. Example of the local display during this
test:

control test is successful if a code was received before the
user pressed the NEXT key; pressing the NEXT key before
pressing a key on the remote control gives an error in the
remote control test (note that the remote control test will also
fail if a key on the remote control was pressed but no code
was received). The remote control test does not check upon
the contents of the received code, that is it will not be
checked if the received code matches the key pressed. If
desired, the user can manually check this code by using a
code-table for the remote control key-codes.

5.5.2 Tray Test

First, the tray is tested. The purpose of this test is also to give
the user the opportunity to put a disc in the tray of the DVD
player. Some tests on the Basic Engine require that a
disc(e.g. DVD MPTD test disc) is present in the player. At the
end of the Basic Engine tests this tray test will be repeated
solely to enable the user to remove the disc in the tray. The
local display will look as follows:

PLAY and PAUSE key. The tray will be closed (by the
software, ifit isopen) beforeproceeding to the next test when
the user presses the NEXT key.

5.5.9 Error Log (See Table On Page 30)

Reading the error log anderror bits information canbe useful
to determine any errors that occurred recently during normal
operation ofthe DVD player. Reading the error log is doneby
nucleus LogReadErr. The display during the errorlogreadout
looks as follows :

Figure 5-32

By pressing PLAY or PAUSE the user can move forward or
backward (respectively) through the logged error codes. The
highlighted number indicates which errorcode is currently on
display (in the example above, errorcode number 4 is
displayed). If "0000" is displayed at all positions, the error log
is empty. Display of the logged errors is done in a cyclic
manner. The errorcode withthe lowest highlighted number is
the most recent. By pressing NEXT on the local keyboard,
the user can proceed to the next test.

5.5.10 Error Bits (See Table On Page 30)

The loop test will perform the same nuclei as the dealer test,
but it will loop through the list of nuclei indefinitely. The
display of the DVD player will display not onlythe three digits
indicating correct/faulty modules and the last found error
code (as mentioned, faults are detected as far as theycan be
within the scope of the diagnostic software), but also a loop
counter indicating how many times the loop has been gone
through. Example:

The number after the hyphen indicates the number of times
the loop test has beenperformed; the 4 digits at the right side
of the display show the last error that was found when
running the loop test: the leftmost two digits of this code
indicate which nucleus resulted in a fault; the rightmost two
digits refer to the faultcode within that nucleus. For further
explanation of this error code, see list of error codes below.
