• Hardware Info.
– A. SW Version. Displays the software version of the
main software (example: Q555X-1.2.3.4 =
AAAAB_X.Y.W.Z).
• AAAA= the chassis name.
• B= the SW branch version. This is a sequential
number (this is no longer the region indication, as
the software is now multi-region).
• X.Y.W.Z= the software version, where X is the
main version number (different numbers are not
compatible with one another) and Y.W.Z is the sub
version number (a higher number is always
compatible with a lower number).
– B. STBY 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 maximum 10 errors). The most recent
error is displayed at the upper left (for an error explanation
see section “5.5 Error Codes
”).
• Reset Error Buffer. When “cursor right” (or “OK” button)
pressed here, followed by the “OK” button, the error buffer
is reset.
• Alignments. This will activate the “ALIGNMENTS” submenu. See Chapter 6. Alignments
.
• Dealer Options. Extra features for the dealers.
• Options. Extra features for Service. For more info
regarding option codes, see chapter 6. Alignments
.
Note that if the option code numbers are changed, these
have to be confirmed with pressing the “OK” button before
the options are stored, otherwise changes will be lost.
• Initialize NVM. The moment the processor recognizes a
corrupted NVM, the “initialize NVM” line will be highlighted.
Now, two things can be done (dependent of the service
instructions at that moment):
– Save the content of the NVM via ComPair for
Figure 5-2 Location of Display Option Code sticker
• Store - go right. All options and alignments are stored
when pressing “cursor right” (or the “OK” button) and then
the “OK”-button.
• Operation hours display. Displays the accumulated total
of operation hours of the screen itself. In case of a display
replacement, reset to “0” or to the consumed operation
hours of the spare display.
• SW Maintenance.
– SW Events. In case of specific software problems, the
development department can ask for this info.
– HW Events. In case of specific software problems, the
development department can ask for this info :
- Event 26: refers to a power dip, this is logged after
the TV set reboots due to a power dip.
- Event 17: refers to the power OK status, sensed even
before the 3 x retry to generate the error code.
• Test settings. For development purposes only.
• Development file versions. Not useful for Service
purposes, this information is only used by the development
department.
• Upload to USB. To upload several settings from the TV to
an USB stick, which is connected to the SSB. The items are
“Channel list”, “Personal settings”, “Option codes”,
“Alignments”, “Identification data” (includes the set type
and prod code + all 12NC like SSB, display, boards),
