Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

2. Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

Index of this chapter:

2.1 Safety Instructions

2.2 Warnings

2.3 Notes

2.1 Safety Instructions
Safety regulations require that during a repair:
Connect the set to the Mains/AC Power via an isolation transformer (> 800 VA).
Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol h, only by components identical to the original ones. Any other component substitution (other than original type) may increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.
Safety regulations require that after a repair, the set must be returned in its original condition. Pay in particular attention to the following points:
Route the wire trees correctly and fix them with the mounted cable clamps.
Check the insulation of the Mains/AC Power lead for external damage.
Check the strain relief of the Mains/AC Power cord for proper function.
Check the electrical DC resistance between the Mains/AC Power plug and the secondary side (only for sets which have a Mains/AC Power isolated power supply):
1. Unplug the Mains/AC Power cord and connect a wire
between the two pins of the Mains/AC Power plug.
2. Set the Mains/AC Power switch to the "on" position
(keep the Mains/AC Power cord unplugged!).
3. Measure the resistance value between the pins of the
Mains/AC Power plug and the metal shielding of the tuner or the aerial connection on the set. The reading should be between 4.5 Mohm and 12 Mohm.
4. Switch "off" the set, and remove the wire between the
two pins of the Mains/AC Power plug.
Check the cabinet for defects, to avoid touching of any inner parts by the customer.
2.2 Warnings
All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD w). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. Make sure that, during repair, you are connected with the same potential as the mass of the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components and tools also at this same potential. Available ESD protection equipment: – Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,
connection box, extension cable and earth cable) 4822 310 10671.
– Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.
Be careful during measurements in the high voltage section.
Never replace modules or other components while the unit is switched "on".
When you align the set, use plastic rather than metal tools. This will prevent any short circuits and the danger of a circuit becoming unstable.
2.3 Notes

2.3.1 General

Measure the voltages and waveforms with regard to the chassis (= tuner) ground (H), or hot ground (I), depending on the tested area of circuitry. The voltages and waveforms shown in the diagrams are indicative. Measure them in the
Service Default Mode (see chapter 5) with a color bar signal and stereo sound (L: 3 kHz, R: 1 kHz unless stated otherwise) and picture carrier at 475.25 MHz for PAL, or
61.25 MHz for NTSC (channel 3).
Where necessary, measure the waveforms and voltages with (D) and without (E) aerial signal. Measure the voltages in the power supply section both in normal operation (G) and in stand-by (F). These values are indicated by means of the appropriate symbols.
The semiconductors indicated in the circuit diagram and in the parts lists, are interchangeable per position with the semiconductors in the unit, irrespective of the type indication on these semiconductors.

2.3.2 Schematic Notes

All resistor values are in ohms and the value multiplier is often used to indicate the decimal point location (e.g. 2K2 indicates 2.2 kohm).
Resistor values with no multiplier may be indicated with either an "E" or an "R" (e.g. 220E or 220R indicates 220 ohm).
All capacitor values are given in micro-farads (µ= x10 nano-farads (n= x10
Capacitor values may also use the value multiplier as the decimal point indication (e.g. 2p2 indicates 2.2 pF).
An "asterisk" (*) indicates component usage varies. Refer to the diversity tables for the correct values.
The correct component values are listed in the Spare Parts List. Therefore, always check this list when there is any doubt.

2.3.3 Rework on BGA (Ball Grid Array) ICs

General
Although (LF)BGA assembly yields are very high, there may still be a requirement for component rework. By rework, we mean the process of removing the component from the PWB and replacing it with a new component. If an (LF)BGA is removed from a PWB, the solder balls of the component are deformed drastically so the removed (LF)BGA has to be discarded.
Device Removal
As is the case with any component that, it is essential when removing an (LF)BGA, the board, tracks, solder lands, or surrounding components are not damaged. To remove an (LF)BGA, the board must be uniformly heated to a temperature close to the reflow soldering temperature. A uniform temperature reduces the chance of warping the PWB. To do this, we recommend that the board is heated until it is certain that all the joints are molten. Then carefully pull the component off the board with a vacuum nozzle. For the appropriate temperature profiles, see the IC data sheet.
Area Preparation
When the component has been removed, the vacant IC area must be cleaned before replacing the (LF)BGA. Removing an IC often leaves varying amounts of solder on the mounting lands. This excessive solder can be removed with either a solder sucker or solder wick. The remaining flux can be removed with a brush and cleaning agent. After the board is properly cleaned and inspected, apply flux on the solder lands and on the connection balls of the (LF)BGA. Note: Do not apply solder paste, as this has shown to result in problems during re-soldering.

),
).
Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes
EN 7EL1.1U AA 2.
Device Replacement
The last step in the repair process is to solder the new component on the board. Ideally, the (LF)BGA should be aligned under a microscope or magnifying glass. If this is not possible, try to align the (LF)BGA with any board markers. So as not to damage neighboring components, it may be necessary to reduce some temperatures and times.
More Information

2.3.4 Lead Free Solder

Philips CE is producing lead-free sets (PBF) from 1.1.2005 onwards.
Identification: The bottom line of a type plate gives a 14-digit serial number. Digits 5 and 6 refer to the production year, digits 7 and 8 refer to production week (in example below it is 1991 week 18).
E_06532_024.eps

avoid mixed regimes. If not to avoid, clean carefully the solder-joint from old tin and re-solder with new tin.
Use only original spare-parts listed in the Service-Manuals. Not listed standard material (commodities) has to be purchased at external companies.
Special information for lead-free BGA ICs: these ICs will be delivered in so-called "dry-packaging" to protect the IC against moisture. This packaging may only be opened short before it is used (soldered). Otherwise the body of the IC gets "wet" inside and during the heating time the structure of the IC will be destroyed due to high (steam­)pressure inside the body. If the packaging was opened before usage, the IC has to be heated up for some hours (around 90°C) for drying (think of ESD-protection!). Do not re-use BGAs at all!
For sets produced before 1.1.2005, containing leaded soldering tin and components, all needed spare parts will be available till the end of the service period. For the repair of such sets nothing changes.
In case of doubt whether the board is lead-free or not (or with mixed technologies), you can use the following method:
Always use the highest temperature to solder, when using SAC305 (see also instructions below).
De-solder thoroughly (clean solder joints to avoid mix of two alloys).
Caution: For BGA-ICs, you must use the correct temperature­profile, which is coupled to the 12NC. For an overview of these profiles, visit the website www.atyourservice.ce.philips.com (needs subscription, but is not available for all regions) You will find this and more technical information within the "Magazine", chapter "Repair Downloads". For additional questions please contact your local repair help desk.
Figure 2-1 Serial number example
Regardless of the special lead-free logo (which is not always indicated), one must treat all sets from this date onwards according to the rules as described below.
P
b
Figure 2-2 Lead-free logo
Due to lead-free technology some rules have to be respected by the workshop during a repair:
Use only lead-free soldering tin Philips SAC305 with order code 0622 149 00106. If lead-free solder paste is required, please contact the manufacturer of your soldering equipment. In general, use of solder paste within workshops should be avoided because paste is not easy to store and to handle.
Use only adequate solder tools applicable for lead-free soldering tin. The solder tool must be able – To reach at least a solder-tip temperature of 400°C. – To stabilize the adjusted temperature at the solder-tip. – To exchange solder-tips for different applications.
Adjust your solder tool so that a temperature around 360°C
- 380°C is reached and stabilized at the solder joint. Heating time of the solder-joint should not exceed ~ 4 sec. Avoid temperatures above 400°C, otherwise wear-out of tips will rise drastically and flux-fluid will be destroyed. To avoid wear-out of tips, switch “off” unused equipment or reduce heat.
Mix of lead-free soldering tin/parts with leaded soldering tin/parts is possible but PHILIPS recommends strongly to

2.3.5 Practical Service Precautions

It makes sense to avoid exposure to electrical shock. While some sources are expected to have a possible dangerous impact, others of quite high potential are of limited current and are sometimes held in less regard.
Always respect voltages. While some may not be dangerous in themselves, they can cause unexpected reactions that are best avoided. Before reaching into a powered TV set, it is best to test the high voltage insulation. It is easy to do, and is a good service precaution.

5.1 Test Points
As most signals are digital, it will be almost impossible to measure waveforms with a standard oscilloscope. Therefore, waveforms are not given in this manual. Several key ICs are capable of generating test patterns, which can be controlled via ComPair. In this way it is possible to determine which part is defective.
Perform measurements under the following conditions:
Service Default Mode.
Video: Color bar signal.
Audio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.
5.2 Service Modes
Service Default Mode (SDM) and Service Alignment Mode (SAM) offer several features for the service technician, while the Customer Service Mode (CSM) is used for communication between a Customer Helpdesk and a customer.
There is also the option of using ComPair, a hardware interface between a computer (see requirements below) and the TV chassis. It offers the ability of structured troubleshooting, test pattern generation, error code reading, software version readout, and software upgrading.
Minimum requirements for ComPair: a Pentium processor, Windows 95/98, and a CD-ROM drive (see also paragraph “ComPair”).
Remark: as the Hotel Mode is a User Mode, rather than a Service Mode, we have put the description in Chapter 3, Directions for Use.
Tuning frequency 61.25 MHz for NTSC: The TV shall tune to physical channel 3 only if channel 3 is an analog channel or if there is no channel 3 installed in the channel map. If there is a digital channel installed in channel 3, then the frequency to which the set will tune, would be as specified in the channel map and could be different from the one corresponding to the physical channel 3.
All picture settings at 50% (brightness, color, contrast).
All sound settings at 50%, except volume at 25%.
All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled, like: – (Sleep) timer. – Child/parental lock. – Picture mute (blue mute or black mute). – Automatic volume levelling (AVL). – Auto switch "off" (when no video signal was received
for 10 minutes). – Skip/blank of non-favorite pre-sets. – Smart modes. – Auto store of personal presets. – Auto user menu time-out.
How to Activate SDM
Use one of the following methods:
Use the standard RC-transmitter and key in the code “062596”, directly followed by the “MENU” button. Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main menu will appear. To switch it "off", push the “MENU” button again.
Short for a moment the two solder pads [1] on the SSB, with the indication “SDM”. They are located on top of the SSB. Activation can be performed in all modes, except when the set has a problem with the Stand-by Processor. See figure “SDM and SPI service pads”.

SDMSPI

5.2.1 Service Default Mode (SDM)

Purpose
To create a pre-defined setting, to get the same measurement results as given in this manual.
To override SW protections (only applicable for protections detected by stand-by processor) and make the TV start up to the step just before protection (a sort of automatic stepwise start up). See paragraph “Stepwise Start Up”.
To start the blinking LED procedure (not valid in protection mode).

How to Navigate
When you press the “MENU” button on the RC transmitter, the set will toggle between the SDM and the normal user menu (with the SDM mode still active in the background).
How to Exit SDM
Use one of the following methods:
Switch the set to STAND-BY via the RC-transmitter.
Via a standard customer RC-transmitter: key in “00”­sequence.

Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding

5.2.2 Service Alignment Mode (SAM)

Purpose
To perform (software) alignments.
To change option settings.
To easily identify the used software version.
To view operation hours.
To display (or clear) the error code buffer.
How to Activate SAM
Via a standard RC transmitter: key in the code “062596” directly followed by the “INFO” button. After activating SAM with this method a service warning will appear on the screen, you can continue by pressing the red button on the RC.
Contents of SAM:
Hardware Info.A. VIPER SW Version. Displays the software version
of the VIPER software (main software) (example: EL23U-1.2.3.4_12345 = AAAAB_X.Y.W.Z_NNNNN).
AAAA= the chassis name.
B= the region: A= AP, E= EU, L= Latam, U = US.
X.Y.W.Z= the software version, where X is the main version number (different numbers are not compatible with one another) and Y is the sub version number (a higher number is always compatible with a lower number). The last two digits are used for development reasons only, so they will always be zero in official releases.
NNNNN= last five digits of 12nc code of the software.
B. SBY PROC Version. Displays the software version
of the stand-by processor.
C. Production Code. Displays the production code of
the TV, this is the serial number as printed on the back of the TV set. Note that if an NVM is replaced or is initialized after corruption, this production code has to be re-written to NVM. ComPair will foresee in a possibility to do this.
Operation Hours. Displays the accumulated total of operation hours (not the stand-by hours). Every time the TV is switched "on/off", 0.5 hours is added to this number.
Errors. (Followed by maximal 10 errors). The most recent error is displayed at the upper left (for an error explanation see paragraph “Error Codes”).
Defective Module. Here the module that generates the error is displayed. If there are multiple errors in the buffer, which are not all generated by a single module, there is probably another defect. It will then display the message “UNKNOWN” here.
Reset Error Buffer. When you press “cursor right” and then the “OK” button, the error buffer is reset.
Alignments. This will activate the “ALIGNMENTS” sub­menu.
Dealer Options. Extra features for the dealers.
Options. Extra features for Service.
Initialize NVM. When an NVM was corrupted (or replaced) in the former EMG based chassis, the microprocessor replaces the content with default data (to assure that the set can operate). However, all preferences and alignment values are gone now, and option numbers are not correct. Therefore, this was a very drastic way. In this chassis, the procedure is implemented in another way: The moment the processor recognizes a corrupted NVM, the “initialize NVM” line will be highlighted. Now, you can do two things (dependent of the service instructions at that moment): – Save the content of the NVM via ComPair for
development analysis, before initializing. This will give the Service department an extra possibility for diagnosis (e.g. when Development asks for this).
– Initialize the NVM (same as in the past, however now it
happens conscious).
Note: When you have a corrupted NVM, or you have replaced the NVM, there is a high possibility that you will not have picture any more because your display option is not correct. So, before you can initialize your NVM via the SAM, you need to have a picture and therefore you need the correct display option. To adapt this option, use ComPair. The correct HEX values for the options can be found in the table below.

How to Navigate
In SAM, you can select the menu items with the “CURSOR UP/DOWN” key on the RC-transmitter. The selected item will be highlighted. When not all menu items fit on the screen, move the “CURSOR UP/DOWN” key to display the next/previous menu items.
With the “CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT” keys, it is possible to: – (De) activate the selected menu item. – (De) activate the selected submenu.
How to Exit SAM
Use one of the following methods:
Press the “MENU” button on the RC-transmitter.
Switch the set to STAND-BY via the RC-transmitter.
Note: As long as SAM is activated, it is not possible to change a channel. This could hamper the White Point alignments because you cannot choose your channel/frequency any more. Workaround: after you have sent the RC code “062596 INFO” you will see the service-warning screen, and in this stage it is still possible to change the channel (so before pressing the “OK” button).

5.2.3 Customer Service Mode (CSM)

Purpose
When a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can call his dealer or the Customer Helpdesk. The service technician can then ask the customer to activate the CSM, in order to identify the status of the set. Now, the service technician can judge the severity of the complaint. In many cases, he can advise the customer how to solve the problem, or he can decide if it is necessary to visit the customer. The CSM is a read only mode; therefore, modifications in this mode are not possible.
How to Activate CSM
Key in the code “123654” via the standard RC transmitter.
Note: Activation of the CSM is only possible if there is no (user) menu on the screen!
How to Navigate
By means of the “CURSOR-DOWN/UP” knob on the RC­transmitter, you can navigate through the menus.
Contents of CSM
SW Version (example: EL23U-1.2.3.4_12345). Displays the built-in main software version. In case of field problems related to software, software can be upgraded. As this software is consumer upgradable, it will also be published on the Internet.
SBY Processor Version. Displays the built-in stand-by processor software version. Upgrading this software will be possible via a PC and a ComPair interface (see chapter Software upgrade).
Set Type. This information is very helpful for a helpdesk/ workshop as reference for further diagnosis. In this way, it is not necessary for the customer to look at the rear of the TV-set. Note that if an NVM is replaced or is initialized after corruption, this set type has to be re-written to NVM. ComPair will foresee a possibility to do this.
Production Code. Displays the production code (the serial number) of the TV. Note that if an NVM is replaced or is initialized after corruption, this production code has to be re-written to NVM. ComPair will foresee a possibility to do this.
Code 1. Gives the latest five errors of the error buffer. As soon as the built-in diagnose software has detected an
error the buffer is adapted. The last occurred error is displayed on the leftmost position. Each error code is displayed as a 2-digit number. When less than 10 errors occur, the rest of the buffer is empty (00). See also paragraph Error Codes for a description.
Code 2. Gives the first five errors of the error buffer. See also paragraph Error Codes for a description.
Headphone Volume. Gives the last status of the headphone volume, as set by the customer. The value can vary from 0 (volume is minimum) to 100 (volume is maximum). Change via ”MENU”, “TV”, “SOUND”, “HEADPHONE VOLUME”.
Dolby. Indicates whether the received transmitter transmits Dolby sound (“ON”) or not (“OFF”). Attention: The presence of Dolby can only be tested by the software on the Dolby Signaling bit. If a Dolby transmission is received without a Dolby Signaling bit, this indicator will show “OFF” even though a Dolby transmission is received.
Sound Mode. Indicates the by the customer selected sound mode (or automatically chosen mode). Possible values are “STEREO” and “VIRTUAL DOLBY SURROUND”. Change via “MENU”, “TV”, “SOUND”, “SOUND MODE”. It can also have been selected automatically by signaling bits (internal software).
Tuner Frequency. Not applicable for US sets.
Digital Processing. Indicates the selected digital mode. Possible values are “STANDARD” and “PIXEL PLUS”. Change via “MENU”, “TV”, “PICTURE”, “DIGITAL PROCESSING”.
TV System. Gives information about the video system of the selected transmitter. – M: NTSC M signal received – ATSC: ATSC signal received
Center Mode. Not applicable.
DNR. Gives the selected DNR setting (Dynamic Noise Reduction), “OFF”, “MINIMUM”, “MEDIUM”, or “MAXIMUM”. Change via “MENU”, “TV”, “PICTURE”, “DNR”
Noise Figure. Gives the noise ratio for the selected transmitter. This value can vary from 0 (good signal) to 127 (average signal) and to 255 (bad signal). For some software versions, the noise figure will only be valid when “Active Control” is set to “medium” or “maximum” before activating CSM.
Source. Indicates which source is used and the video/ audio signal quality of the selected source. (Example: Tuner, Video/NICAM) Source: “TUNER”, “AV1”, “AV2”, “AV3”, “HDMI 1”, “SIDE”. Video signal quality: “VIDEO”, “S­VIDEO”, “RGB 1FH”, “YPBPR 1FH 480P”, “YPBPR 1FH 576P”, “YPBPR 1FH 1080I”, “YPBPR 2FH 480P”, “YPBPR 2FH 576P”, “YPBPR 2FH 1080I”, “RGB 2FH 480P”, “RGB 2FH 576P” or “RGB 2FH 1080I”. Audio signal quality: “STEREO”, “SPDIF 1”, “SPDIF 2”, or “SPDIF”.
Audio System. Gives information about the audible audio system. Possible values are “Stereo”, ”Mono”, “Mono selected”, “Analog In: No Dig. Audio”, “Dolby Digital 1+1”, “Dolby Digital 1/0”, “Dolby Digital 2/0”, “Dolby Digital 2/1”, “Dolby Digital 2/2”, “Dolby Digital 3/0”, “Dolby Digital 3/1”, “Dolby Digital 3/2”, “Dolby Digital Dual I”, “Dolby Digital Dual II”, “MPEG 1+1”, “MPEG 1/0”, “MPEG 2/0”.

Tuned Bit. Indicates if the selected preset is automatically tuned (via “Automatic Installation” in the setup menu) or via the automatic tuning system of the TV. In this case “Tuned bit” will show “YES”. If the TV was not able to auto-tune to the correct frequency, this item will show “NO”. So if “NO” is displayed, it could indicate that the customer has manually tuned to a frequency which was too far from a correct frequency, that the TV was not able to auto-tune any more.

5.3 Stepwise Start-up

The stepwise start-up method, as known from FTL/FTP sets is not valid any more. The situation for this chassis is as follows: when the TV is in a protection state detected via the Stand-by Processor (and thus blinking an error) and SDM is activated via shortcutting the pins on the SSB, the TV starts up until it reaches the situation just before protection. So, this is a kind of automatic stepwise start-up. In combination with the start-up diagrams below, you can see which supplies are present at a certain moment. Important to know here is, that if e.g. the 3V3 detection fails (and thus error 11 is blinking) and the TV is restarted via SDM, the Stand-by Processor will enable the 3V3, but will not go to protection now. The TV will stay in this situation until it is reset (Mains/AC Power supply interrupted).
The abbreviations “SP” and “MP” in the figures stand for:
SP: protection or error detected by the Stand-by Processor.
MP: protection or error detected by the VIPER Main Processor.

5.4 Service Tools

5.4.1 ComPair

Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further development on the European DST (service remote control), which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair has three big advantages:
1. ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how to repair the chassis in a short time by guiding you systematically through the repair procedures.
2. ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem areas. You do not have to know anything about I yourself because ComPair takes care of this.
3. ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can automatically communicate with the chassis (when the microprocessor is working) and all repair information is directly available. When ComPair is installed together with the Force/SearchMan electronic manual of the defective chassis, schematics and PWBs are only a mouse click away.
Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding program and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product. The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial (or RS-232) cable. For this chassis, the ComPair interface box and the TV communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the service connector(s).
The ComPair fault finding program is able to determine the problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather diagnostic information in two ways:
Automatically (by communicating with the television): ComPair can automatically read out the contents of the entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on I ComPair can access the I ComPair can send and receive I the microcontroller of the television. In this way, it is possible for ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on the I
2
C/UART buses of the TV-set.
Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic diagnosis is only possible if the microcontroller of the television is working correctly and only to a certain extent. When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through the fault finding tree by asking you questions (e.g. Does the
screen give a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES / NO) and showing you examples (e.g. Measure test-point I7 and click on the correct oscillogram you see on the oscilloscope). You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g. text or a waveform picture) that will bring you to the next
step in the fault finding process.
By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive question / answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find most problems in a fast and effective way.

5.4.2 LVDS Tool

Introduction
This service tool (also called “ComPair Assistant 1“) may help you to identify, in case the TV does not show any picture, whether the Small Signal Board (SSB) or the display of a Flat TV is defective. Furthermore it is possible to program EPLDs with this tool (Byte blaster). Read the user manual for an explanation of this feature.
Since 2004, the LVDS output connectors in our Flat TV models are standardized (with some exceptions). With the two delivered LVDS interface cables (31p and 20p) you can cover most chassis (in special cases, an extra cable will be offered).
When operating, the tool will show a small (scaled) picture on a VGA monitor. Due to a limited memory capacity, it is not possible to increase the size when processing high-resolution LVDS signals (> 1280x960). Below this resolution, or when a DVI monitor is used, the displayed picture will be full size.
Generally this tool is intended to determine if the SSB is working or not. Thus to determine if LVDS, RGB, and sync signals are okay.
How to Connect
Connections are explained in the user manual, which is packed with the tool.
EN 27EL1.1U AA 5.
TO I2C SERVICE CONNECTOR

How to Connect
This is described in the chassis fault finding database in ComPair.
Caution: It is compulsory to connect the TV to the PC as shown in the picture below (with the ComPair interface in between), as the ComPair interface acts as a level shifter. If one connects the TV directly to the PC (via UART), ICs will be blown!
Note: To use the LVDS tool, you must have ComPair release 2004-1 (or later) on your PC (engine version >= 2.2.05). For every TV type number and screen size, one must choose the proper settings via ComPair. The ComPair file will be updated regularly with new introduced chassis information.

Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding

5.5 Error Codes

5.5.1 Introduction

The error code buffer contains all detected errors since the last time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left to right, new errors are logged at the left side, and all other errors shift one position to the right. When an error has occurred, the error is added to the list of errors, provided the list is not full or the error is a protection error. When an error occurs and the error buffer is full, then the new error is not added, and the error buffer stays intact (history is maintained), except when the error is a protection error. To prevent that an occasional error stays in the list forever, the error is removed from the list after 50+ operation hours. When multiple errors occur (errors occurred within a short time span), there is a high probability that there is some relation between them.
Basically there are three kinds of errors:
Errors detected by the Stand-by Processor. These errors will always lead to protection and an automatic start of the blinking LED for the concerned error (see paragraph “The Blinking LED Procedure”). In these cases SDM can be used to start up (see chapter “Stepwise Start-up”).
Errors detected by VIPER that lead to protection. In this case the TV will go to protection and the front LED will blink at 3 Hz. Further diagnosis via service modes is not possible here (see also paragraph “Error Codes” -> “Error Buffer” ­> “Extra Info”).
Errors detected by VIPER that do not lead to protection. In this case the error can be read out via ComPair, via blinking LED method, or in case you have picture, via SAM.

5.5.2 How to Read the Error Buffer

Use one of the following methods:
On screen via the SAM (only if you have a picture). E.g.:
00 00 00 00 00: No errors detected – 06 00 00 00 00: Error code 6 is the last and only
detected error
09 06 00 00 00: Error code 6 was first detected and
error code 9 is the last detected error
Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no picture). See next paragraph.
•Via ComPair.

5.5.3 How to Clear the Error Buffer

Use one of the following methods:
By activation of the “RESET ERROR BUFFER” command in the SAM menu.
With a normal RC, key in sequence “MUTE” followed by “062599” and “OK”.
If the content of the error buffer has not changed for 50+ hours, it resets automatically.

5.5.4 Error Buffer

In case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before you begin the repair (before clearing the buffer, write down the content, as this history can give you significant information). This to ensure that old error codes are no longer present. If possible, check the entire contents of the error buffer. In some situations, an error code is only the result of another error code and not the actual cause (e.g., a fault in the protection detection circuitry can also lead to a protection). There are several mechanisms of error detection:
Via error bits in the status registers of ICs.
Via polling on I/O pins going to the stand-by processor.
Via sensing of analogue values on the stand-by processor.
Via a “not acknowledge” of an I
2
C communication
Take notice that some errors need more than 90 seconds before they start blinking. So in case of problems wait 2 minutes from start-up onwards, and then check if the front LED is blinking.

C bus) it will be impossible to start up the VIPER and therefore it is also impossible to read out the error codes via ComPair or via the blinking LED method. With the knowledge that only errors 1, 2, 4, and 63 result in a 3 Hz blinking LED, the range of possible defects is limited. When you have restarted the TV via the SDM shortcut pins, and then pressed "CH+" on your remote control, the TV will go to protection again, and the front LED blink at 3 Hz again. This could be an indication that the problem is related to error 2.
Error 3 (I on I
2
C bus 3 blocked). There are only three devices
2
C bus 3: VIPER, Stand-by Processor, and NVM. The Stand-by Processor is the detection device of this error, so this error will only occur if the VIPER or the NVM is blocking the bus. This error will also be logged when the NVM gives no acknowledge on the I
2
C bus (see error 44). Note that if the 12 V supply is missing (connector 1M46 on the SSB), the DC/DC supply on the SSB will not work. Therefore the VIPER will not get supplies and could block I a missing 12 V can also lead to an error 3.
Error 4 (I
Error 5 (I severe hardware problem around the VIPER (supplies not OK, VIPER completely dead, I
2
C bus 4 blocked). Same remark as with error 1.
2
C bus 5 blocked). This error will point to a
2
C link between VIPER and
2
C bus 3. So,
Stand-by Processor broken, etc. ...).
Error 7 (8.6 V error). Except a physical problem with the
8.6 V itself, it is also possible that there is something wrong with the Audio DC Protection: see paragraph "Hardware Protections" for this.
Error 12 (12 V error). Except a physical problem with the 12 V itself, it is also possible that there is something wrong with the Audio DC Protection: see paragraph "Hardware Protections" for this.
Error 14 (Audio supply). This error is triggered in case of too low voltage of the audio supplies and therefore a drop of the audio supply voltage of below approx. 9 V per supply rail (or lower than 18 V rail to rail). Also a DC voltage of higher than 1 V DC on the speakers will lead to protection and error 14 blinking. For LCD sets this circuit can be found on schematic SA3, for PDP sets this can be found on schematic C. It should be noted that for 26-inch models there is only a supply link between the amplifiers and the stand-by µC whereas in all other models this link is implemented by Audio-Prot line pin 7 on 1 M02.
Error 29 (AVIP1). This error will probably generate extra errors. You will probably also see errors 32 (MPIF) and error 31 (AVIP 2). Error 29 and 31 will always be logged together due to the fact that both AVIPs are inside the PNX2015 and are on the same I
2
C bus. In this case start
looking for the cause around AVIP (part of PNX2015).
Error 31 (AVIP2). See info on error 29.
Error 34 (Tuner 1). When this error is logged, it is not sure that there is something wrong with the tuner itself. It is also possible that there is something wrong with the communication between channel decoder and tuner. See schematic B2B.
Error 37 (Channel decoder). This error will always log error 34 (tuner) extra. This is due to the fact that the tuner
2
C bus is coming from the channel decoder.
I
Error 44 (NVM). This error will never occur because it is masked by error 3 (I for error 3 checks on an I
2
C bus 3). The detection mechanism
2
C acknowledge of the NVM. If NVM gives no acknowledge, the stand-by software assumes that the bus is blocked, the TV goes to protection and error 3 will be blinking.
Error 53. This error will indicate that the VIPER has started to function (by reading his boot script, if this would have failed, error 5 would blink) but initialization was never completed because of hardware peripheral problems (NAND flash, ...) or software initialization problems. Possible cause could be that there is no valid software loaded (try to upgrade to the latest main software version).

5.6 The Blinking LED Procedure

5.6.1 Introduction

The blinking LED procedure can be split up into two situations:
Blinking LED procedure in case of a protection detected by the stand-by processor. In this case the error is automatically blinked. This will be only one error, namely the one that is causing the protection. Therefore, you do not have to do anything special, just read out the blinks. A long blink indicates the decimal digit, a short blink indicates the units.
Blinking LED procedure in the “on” state. Via this procedure, you can make the contents of the error buffer visible via the front LED. This is especially useful for fault finding, when there is no picture.
When the blinking LED procedure is activated in the “on” state, the front LED will show (blink) the contents of the error-buffer. Error-codes > 10 are shown as follows:
1. “n” long blinks (where “n” = 1 - 9) indicating decimal digit,
2. A pause of 1.5 s,
3. “n” short blinks (where “n”= 1 - 9),
4. A pause of approx. 3 s.
5. When all the error-codes are displayed, the sequence finishes with a LED blink of 3 s,
6. The sequence starts again.
Example: Error 12 9 6 0 0. After activation of the SDM, the front LED will show:
1. 1 long blink of 750 ms (which is an indication of the decimal digit) followed by a pause of 1.5 s,
2. 2 short blinks of 250 ms followed by a pause of 3 s,
3. 9 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s,
4. 6 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s,
5. 1 long blink of 3 s to finish the sequence,
6. The sequence starts again.

5.6.2 How to Activate

Use one of the following methods:
Activate the SDM. The blinking front LED will show the entire contents of the error buffer (this works in “normal operation” mode).
Transmit the commands “MUTE” - “062500” - “OK” with a normal RC. The complete error buffer is shown. Take notice that it takes some seconds before the blinking LED starts.
•Transmit the commands “MUTE” - “06250x” - “OK” with a normal RC (where “x” is a number between 1 and
5). When x= 1 the last detected error is shown, x= 2 the
second last error, etc.... Take notice that it takes some
seconds before the blinking LED starts.

5.7 Protections

5.7.1 Software Protections

Most of the protections and errors use either the stand-by microprocessor or the VIPER controller as detection device. Since in these cases, checking of observers, polling of ADCs, filtering of input values are all heavily software based, these protections are referred to as software protections. There are several types of software related protections, solving a variety of fault conditions:
Protections related to supplies: check of the 12V, +5V, +8V6, +1.2V, +2.5V and +3.3V.
Protections related to breakdown of the safety check mechanism. E.g. since a lot of protection detections are done by means of the VIPER, failing of the VIPER communication will have to initiate a protection mode since safety cannot be guaranteed anymore.
Remark on the Supply Errors
The detection of a supply dip or supply loss during the normal playing of the set does not lead to a protection, but to a cold reboot of the set.
Protections during Start-up
During TV start-up, some voltages and IC observers are actively monitored to be able to optimize the start-up speed, and to assure good operation of all components. If these monitors do not respond in a defined way, this indicates a malfunction of the system and leads to a protection. As the observers are only used during start-up, they are described in the start-up flow in detail (see paragraph “Stepwise Start-up").

5.7.2 Hardware Protections

There is one hardware protection in this chassis: “Audio DC Protection”. This protection occurs when there is a DC voltage on the speakers. In that case the main supply is switched "off", but the stand-by supply is still working. For the Samsung V4 PDP displays, the 8V6 supply is switched "off" and the LED on the display’s Main Supply blinks eleven times, which means there is an overvoltage protection. The front LED of the TV will blink error 7 (8V6 error). In case of LCD supplies, the 12V supply will drop. This will be detected by the stand-by processor, which will start blinking the 12 V error (error 12).
Repair Tip
It is also possible that you have an audio DC protection because of an interruption in one or both speakers (the DC voltage that is still on the circuit cannot disappear through the speakers).

5.8.1 Exit “Factory Mode”

When an "F" is displayed in the screen's right corner, this means that the set is in "Factory" mode, and it normally happens after a new SSB has been mounted. To exit this mode, push the "VOLUME minus" button on the TV's keyboard control for 5 seconds and restart the set

5.8.4 DC/DC Converter

Introduction
The best way to find a failure in the DC/DC converters is to check their starting-up sequence at power "on" via the Mains/AC Power cord, presuming that the Stand-by Processor is operational.
If the input voltage of the DC/DC converters is around 12 V (measured on the decoupling capacitors 2U17/2U25/ 2U45) and the ENABLE signals are "low" (active), then the output voltages should have their normal values.
First, the Stand-by Processor activates the +1V2 supply (via ENABLE-1V2).
Then, after this voltage becomes present and is detected OK (about 100 ms), the other two voltages (+2V5 and +3V3) will be activated (via ENABLE-3V3).
The current consumption of controller IC 7U00 is around 20 mA (that means around 200 mV drop voltage across resistor 3U22).
The current capability of DC/DC converters is quite high (short-circuit current is 7 to 10 A), therefore if there is a linear integrated stabilizer that, for example delivers 1.8V from +3V3 with its output overloaded, the +3V3 stays usually at its normal value even though the consumption from +3V3 increases significantly.
The +2V5 supply voltage is obtained via a linear stabilizer made with discrete components that can deliver a lot of current. Therefore, in case +2V5 (or +2V5D) is short­circuited to GND, the +3V3 will not have the normal value but much less.
The supply voltage +12VSW is protected for over-currents by fuse 1U04.
Fault Finding
Symptom: +1V2, +2V5, and +3V3 not present (even for a short while ~10ms).
1. Check 12V availability (fuse 1U01, resistor 3U22,
power MOS-FETs) and enable signal ENABLE-1V2 (active low).
2. Check the voltage on pin 9 (1.5 V).
3. Check for +1V2 output voltage short-circuit to GND that
can generate pulsed over-currents 7-10 A through coil 5U03.
4. Check the over-current detection circuit (2U12 or 3U97
interrupted).
