Abbreviation List
tools. This will prevent any short circuits and the danger
of a circuit becoming unstable.
2.1 Safety Instructions
Safety regulations require the following during a repair:
Connect the set to the Mains/AC Power via an isolation
transformer (> 800 VA).
!
Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol
!
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 that 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 M and 12 M.
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 prevent touching of any
inner parts by the customer.
2.2 Warnings
All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible
to electrostatic discharges (ESD ). 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.
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
2.3 Notes
2.3.1 General
Measure the voltages and waveforms with regard to the
chassis (= tuner) ground ( ), or hot ground ( ),
,
depending on the tested area of circuitry. The voltages
and waveforms shown in the diagrams are indicative.
Measure them in the Service Default Mode with a colour
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 () and without () aerial signal. Measure the
voltages in the power supply section both in normal
operation ( ) and in stand-by ( ). These values are
indicated by means of the appropriate symbols.
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 k).
Resistor values with no multiplier may be indicated with
either an “E” or an “R” (e.g. 220E or 220R indicates 220
).
All capacitor values are given in micro-farads (µ = x10
nano-farads (n = x10
-9
), or pico-farads (p = 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 on the Philips
Spare Parts Web Portal.

2.3.5 Lead-free Soldering
Due to lead-free technology some rules have to be
respected by the workshop during a repair:
Use only lead-free soldering tin. 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 a solder-tip temperature of at least 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 of 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 increase 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
avoid mixed regimes. If this cannot be avoided, carefully
clear the solder-joint from old tin and re-solder with new
tin.
For the third digit, the numbers 1...9 and the characters
A...Z can be used, so in total: 9 plus 26= 35 different
B.O.M.s can be indicated by the third digit of the serial
number.
Identification: The bottom line of a type plate gives a
14-digit serial number. Digits 1 and 2 refer to the production
centre (e.g. SN is Lysomice, RJ is Kobierzyce), digit 3 refers
to the B.O.M. code, digit 4 refers to the Service version
change code, digits 5 and 6 refer to the production year,
and digits 7 and 8 refer to production week (in example
below it is 2010 week 10 / 2010 week 17). The 6 last digits
contain the serial number.
2.3.6 Alternative BOM identification
It should be noted that on the European Service website,
“Alternative BOM” is referred to as “Design variant”.
The third digit in the serial number (example:
AG2B0335000001) indicates the number of the alternative
B.O.M. (Bill Of Materials) that has been used for producing
the specific TV set. In general, it is possible that the same
TV model on the market is produced with e.g. two different
types of displays, coming from two different suppliers. This
will then result in sets which have the same CTN
(Commercial Type Number; e.g. 28PW9515/12) but which
have a different B.O.M. number.
By looking at the third digit of the serial number, one can
identify which B.O.M. is used for the TV set he is working
with. If the third digit of the serial number contains the
number “1” (example: AG1B033500001), then the TV set
has been manufactured according to B.O.M. number 1. If
the third digit is a “2” (example: AG2B0335000001), then
the set has been produced according to B.O.M. no. 2. This
is important for ordering the correct spare parts!
Figure 3-1 Serial number (example)
2.3.7 Board Level Repair (BLR) or Component Level
Repair (CLR)
If a board is defective, consult your repair procedure to
decide if the board has to be exchanged or if it should be
repaired on component level.
If your repair procedure says the board should be
exchanged completely, do not solder on the defective board.
Otherwise, it cannot be returned to the O.E.M. supplier for
back charging!
2.3.8 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. Software Upgrading, Error code and Panel Code
5.1 Software Upgrading
Step 1: Ready for F/W Upgrade
1. Rename the software as “autorun.upg”.
Prepare a USB memory (File format: FLAT, Size: 1G~8G).
2.
3. Copy the software to USB flash disk (root directory).
Note the version of this F/W before you change the software file name.
Step 2: F/W Upgrade
1. Plug the USB memory on the USB port on the side I/O port of TV (Please connect to USB 2.0 port, not recommend USB 3.0 port.).
2.
AC on (Power plug).
3. TV will take a few minutes the downloading to detect the software, and then upgrade automatically as detect the software
4. Press OK to start software upgrade
5. Upgrade in progress
Step 3: Check the SW version
1. After burning software, TV will restart.
2.
Press “123654”, enter Customer Service Mode to check if the software version is correct.
Caution: Please make sure that software upgrade is finished before unplug the USB and AC power!
5.2 Error Code
5.2.1 Introduction
Error codes are required to indicate failures in the TV set. In principle a unique error code is available for every:
• Activated (SW) protection.
• Failing I2C device.
• General I2C error.
The last five errors, stored in the NVM, are shown in the Service menu’s. This is called the error buffer.
The error code buffer contains all errors detected since the last time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left to right. When an error occurs that
is not yet in the error code buffer, it is displayed at the left side and all other errors shift one position to the right.
An error will be added to the buffer if this error differs from any error in the buffer. The last found error is displayed on the left.
An error with a designated error code never leads to a deadlock situation. It must always be diagnosable (e.g. error buffer via OSD or blinking LED).
In case a failure identified by an error code automatically results in other error codes (cause and effect), only the error code of the MAIN failure is displayed.
5.2.2 How to Read the Error Buffer
You can read the error buffer in below ways:
• On screen via the SAM/CSM (if you have a picture).
Example:
– ERROR: 000 000 000 000 000: No errors detected
– ERROR: 013 000 000 000 000: Error code 13 is the last and only detected error
– ERROR: 034 013 000 000 000: Error code 13 was detected first and error code 34 is the last detected (newest) error
• Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no picture).
5.2.3 Error codes overview
In this chassis only “layer 2” error codes are available and point to problems on the SSB. They are triggered by LED blinking
when CSM is activated. Only the following layer 2 errors are defined:
5.2.4 How to Clear the Error Buffer
The error code buffer is cleared in the following cases:
• By using the CLEAR command in the SAM menu
• By using the CLEAR command in the Factory mode:
• By using the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: “062599” directly followed by the OK button.
• If the contents of the error buffer have not changed for 50 hours, the error buffer resets automatically.
Note: If you exit SAM by disconnecting the mains from the television set, the error buffer is not reset.
5.3 Set Option Code
For all models of TPM18.1E_LA chassis, a SET OPTION code is used instead of the DISPLAY OPTION code.
The Set Option Code feature allows using one single Set Option number to define all settings for a specific TV set type.
5.3.1 Where to find the Set Option Code
Refer to the stickers on the TV set. The Set Option Code (three digit decimal value), Set type and Production code can be read from two stickers matching
the TV set:
- Family sticker, stuck on the Back Cover:
- Set Option code sticker, in general, stuck on the Deco frame:
5.3.2 How to set the Set Option Code after SSB Replacement
1. Take note of the Set Option Code of the TV set. Set Option Code, Set type and Production code can be read from two stickers on the TV set.
2. Switch “ON” the TV set.
The modified TV set should start up with the default values.
3. Enter the Set Option Code.
Using a standard remote control, successively press:
“062598” + MEMU/HOME + “xxx”,
- with “xxx” is the three digit decimal value of a valid Set Option Code (See below table), corresponding with the modified TV set, and MEMU/HOME is the
