waveforms with a standard oscilloscope. However, 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.

Service Default mode (SDM) and Service Alignment Mode
(SAM) offers several features for the service technician, while
the Customer Service Mode (CSM) is used for communication
between the call centre and the customer.

used with some renamed buttons. This has an impact on the
activation of the Service modes. For instance the old “MENU”

cycle during the first seconds. Only after this first one or two seconds, the PWM may be set to the requir ed output

When an error occurs, it is added to the list of errors, provided

error is removed from the list after more than 50 hrs. of

Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product.
The ComPair II interface box is connected to the PC via an
USB cable. For the TV chassis, the ComPair interface box and
the TV communicate via a bi-directional cable via the service
connector(s).

Caution: It is compulsory to connect the TV to the PC as
shown in the picture above (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 can be
blown!

There are several mechanisms of error detection:

needs to be measured, no protection triggered here.
There are several types of software related protections, solving
a variety of fault conditions:
• Related to supplies: presence of the +5V, +3V3 and 1V2
• Protections related to breakdown of the safety check
mechanism. E.g. since the protection detections are done
by means of software, failing of the software will have to
initiate a protection mode since safety cannot be
guaranteed any more.
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. If the supply is still missing after the reboot,
the TV will go to protection.
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 section “5.3 Stepwise Start-up
The only real hardware protection in this chassis appears in
case of an audio problem e.g. DC voltage on the speakers. This
protection will only affect the Class D audio amplifier (item

cable (3138 188 75051) from the service connector in the TV to
the “multi function” jack at the front of ComPair II box.
Required settings in ComPair before starting to log:
- Start up the ComPair application.
- Select the correct database (open file “Q55X.X”, this will set
the ComPair interface in the appropriate mode).
- Close ComPair
After start-up of the Hyperterminal, fill in a name (f.i. “logging”)
in the “Connection Description” box, then apply the following
settings:
1. COMx
5.8.9 Loudspeakers
2. Bits per second = 115200
3. Data bits = 8
4. Parity = none
5. Stop bits = 1
6. Flow control = none
During the start-up of the TV set, the logging will be displayed.
This is also the case during rebooting of the TV set (the same
5.8.10 PSL
logging appears time after time). Also available in the logging
is the “Display Option Code” (useful when there is no picture),
look for item “DisplayRawNumber” in the beginning of the
logging. Tip: when there is no picture available during rebooting
you are able to check for “error devices” in the logging (LAYER
2 error) which can be very helpful to determine the failure cause
of the reboot. For protection state, there is no logging.
