Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

2. Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

EN 5FTL13E AA & AB 2.
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 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 (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.

),
).
EN 6 FTL13E AA & AB3.
Directions for Use
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. To reflow the solder, apply a temperature profile according to the IC data sheet. So as not to damage neighbouring components, it may be necessary to reduce some temperatures and times.
More Information

2.3.4 Lead Free Solder

Philips CE is going to produce lead-free sets (PBF) from
1.1.2005 onwards.
P
b
Figure 2-1 Lead-free logo
This sign normally has a diameter of 6 mm, but if there is less space on a board also 3 mm is possible.
Regardless of this logo (is not always present), one must treat all sets from this date onwards according to the following rules.
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 stabilise 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 stabilised 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 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 "Workshop information". For additional questions please contact your local repair help desk.

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.

frequency. See Installation, Manual installation, p. 6.
• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory settings in
the Setup, General menu, p. 8.

other aerial to your recorder, the VGA cables to the display, the power cables.)

• Is your PC switched on ?
• Do you see a black screen and the indicator in front of the TV lights up green,
this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your VGA-source to a
correct mode.
• In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.
Digital distortion The low quality of some digital picture material may be the cause of digital image
distortion. In this case select the Soft setting using the Picture menu,Smart Picture,

5.1 Test Points
The chassis is equipped with test points printed on the circuit board assemblies.
Perform measurements under the following conditions:
Service Default Mode.
Video: colour 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 Philips Customer Care Centre (P3C) 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: a Pentium processor, Windows 95/ 98, and a CD-ROM drive (see also paragraph “ComPair”).

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.
To start the blinking LED procedure.
Specifications
Tuning frequency: 475.25 MHz for PAL/SECAM.
Colour system: SECAM L for France or PAL B/G for the rest of Europe.
All picture settings at 50 % (brightness, colour, contrast).
All sound settings at 50 %, except volume at 25 %.
All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled, like: – (Sleep) timer. – Child/parental lock. –Blue mute. – Automatic volume limiter (AVL). – Auto switch-off (when no video signal was received for
10 minutes). – Skip/blank of non-favourite pre-sets. – Smart modes. – Auto store of personal presets. – Auto user menu time-out.
How to enter 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 (item 9018) on the SSP, with the indication “SDM”. Activation can be performed in all modes, except when the set has a problem with the main microprocessor. Caution: If the SDM is entered via the pins, all the software-controlled protections are de-activated.
Use the DST-emulation feature of ComPair.
Use the “DEFAULT” button on the Dealer Service Tool (RC7150).
After entering this mode, “SDM” will appear in the upper right corner of the screen.
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 STANDBY via the RC-transmitter.
Press the “EXIT” button on the DST.
Via a standard customer RC-transmitter: key in “00”­sequence.

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.
Specifications
Operation hours counter.
Software version.
Option settings.
Error buffer reading and erasing.
Software alignments.
How to enter SAM
Use one of the following methods:
Via a standard RC transmitter: key in the code “062596” directly followed by the “OSD [i+]” button. After entering SAM with this method a service warning will appear on the screen, you can continue by pressing any digit key on the RC.
Short for a moment the two solder pads (item 9017) on the SSP with the indication "SAM". Depending on the software version, it is possible that a service warning will appear. You can continue by pressing any digit key on the RC.
Use the DST-emulation feature of ComPair.
Press the ALIGN button on the DST while the set is in the normal operation
After entering this mode, “SAM” will appear in the upper right corner of the screen.
Contents of SAM:
OPERATION HOURS. Displays the accumulated total of operation hours (not the standby hours).
HARDWARE INFO.ROM VERSION. Displays the date of the software and
the software version of the ROM (example: TL13EU_1.0_01234 = AAAABB_X.Y_NNNNN).
AAAA= the chassis name.
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
EN 23FTL13E AA & AB 5.
BB= the region: EU= Europe, AP= Asia Pacific PAL/Multi, AN= Asia Pacific NTSC, US= USA, LT= LATAM.
X.Y= 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).
NNNNN= last five digits of 12nc code software.
SW VERSION EPLD. Displays the software version of
the EPLD.
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 the “OK” button, the error buffer is reset.
ALIGNMENTS. This will activate the “ALIGNMENTS” sub­menu.
DEALER OPTIONS. Extra features for the dealers.
SERVICE OPTIONS. Extra features for Service.
INITIALISE NVM. When an NVM was corrupted (or replaced) in the former EM3 chassis, the microprocessor replaces the content with default data (to assure that the set can operate). However, all pre-sets 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 recognises a corrupted NVM, the “initialise 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 initialising. This will give the Philips Service department an extra possibility for diagnosis (e.g. when Development asks for this).
– Initialise the NVM (same as in the past, however now it
happens conscious).
STORE. All options and alignments are stored when pressing the “OK”-button
FUNCTIONAL TEST. All devices are tested via the “OK” button. Eventual errors are displayed in the error buffer. The error buffer is not erased, the content returns when this test is terminated.
DAILY MENUS. With the “OK” button, you can go to the normal user menu. SAM is still active in the background. With the “MENU” button, you return from the user menu to SAM menu. This feature can be helpful to quickly change some settings in the user menu.
SW MAINTENANCE.
UPGRADE. More info see paragraph Software
downloading.
EVENTS. Not useful for service purposes. In case of
specific software problems, the development department can ask for this info.
BDM INFO. Broadcast Debug Menu info. The purpose
of this menu is to debug the broadcast, not the TV. The menu gives an overview of what is received on the current preset. Following items are displayed:

5.2.3 Customer Service Mode (CSM)

Purpose
When a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can call his dealer. The service technician can than 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 enter CSM
Use one of the following methods:
Press the “MUTE” button on the RC-transmitter simultaneously with the “MENU” button on the TV (top control) for at least 4 seconds.
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.

5.4 ComPair

5.4.1 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:
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.
ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I2C level) and is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem areas. You do not have to know anything about I2C commands yourself because ComPair takes care of this.
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 SearchMan electronic manual of the defective chassis, schematics and PWBs are only a mouse click away.
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 faultfinding 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.
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional features like:
Up- or downloading of pre-sets.
Managing of pre-set lists.
Emulation of the Dealer Service Tool (DST).
If both ComPair and SearchMan (Electronic Service Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs of the set are available by clicking on the appropriate hyperlink.
Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568 (Schematic/Panel) at the Mono-carrier.
– Click on the “Panel” hyperlink to automatically show
the PWB with a highlighted capacitor C2568.
– Click on the “Schematic” hyperlink to automatically
show the position of the highlighted capacitor.

5.4.3 Stepwise Start-up

Under normal circumstances, a fault in the power supply, or an error during start-up, will switch the television to protection mode. ComPair can take over the initialisation of the television. In this way, it is possible to distinguish which part of the start­up routine (hence which circuitry) is causing the problem. Take notice that the transition between two steps can take some time, so give the set some time to reach a stable state. During the transition time, the LED can blink strangely.
Stepwise start- up explanation
This is realised via ComPair and is very helpful when a protection is activated (see also chapter “Protections”). The following diagram shows the start-up procedure of the set. Every step of the stepwise start-up (also called trapped start­up) in the diagram corresponds with the number of times the led blinks.

5.4.2 Specifications

ComPair consists of a Windows based faultfinding program and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product. The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial or RS232 cable. For this chassis, the ComPair interface box and the TV communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the service connector.
The ComPair faultfinding program is able to determine the problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather diagnostic information in two ways:
Automatic (by communication with the television): ComPair can automatically read out the contents of the entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on I2C level. ComPair can access the I2C bus of the television. ComPair can send and receive I2C commands to the micro controller of the television. In this way, it is possible for ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on the I2C busses of the TV-set.
Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the television is working correctly and only to a certain extends. When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through the faultfinding 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

Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
Note (*):
When the set is in stepwise mode and, due to stepping-up, a protection is activated, the set will really go into protection (blinking LED). The set will not leave the stepwise-mode however. If state X is the state where the set went to protection, stepwise start-up will return to state X-1. At state (X-1) diagnostic measurements can be performed. Also, in the short time the set is in state X but not yet in protection, you can also do some measurements.

5.4.4 How To Connect

1. First, install the ComPair Browser software (see the Quick Reference Card for installation instructions).
2. Connect the RS232 interface cable between a free serial (COM) port of your PC and the PC connector (marked with “PC”) of the ComPair interface.
3. Connect the mains adapter to the supply connector (marked with “POWER 9V DC”) of the ComPair interface.
4. Switch the ComPair interface “OFF”.
5. Switch the television set “OFF” with the mains switch.
6. Connect the ComPair interface cable between the connector on the rear side of the ComPair interface (marked with “I2C”) and the ComPair connector at the rear side of the TV.
7. Plug the mains adapter in a mains outlet, and switch the interface “ON”. The green and red LEDs light up together. The red LED extinguishes after approx. 1 second while the green LED remains lit.
8. Start the ComPair program and read the “Introduction” chapter.

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.

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). Examples: – 0 0 0 0 0: No errors detected – 6 0 0 0 0: Error code 6 is the last and only detected
error
9 6 0 0 0: 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.

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”.
When you transmit the commands “DIAGNOSE” - “99” ­“OK” with ComPair (or with a DST).
If the content of the error buffer has not changed for 50+ hours, it resets automatically.

5.5.4 Error Codes

In case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before you begin the repair. This to ensure that old error codes are no longer present. Before clearing the buffer, write down the content, as this history can give you significant information. 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 various errors:
I2C device errors.
I2C bus errors.
Protection errors.
Errors not related to an I2C device, but of importance: – FALCONIC (ERROR 26): at start-up, after initialisation
of the PICNIC, the presence of the FALCONIC can be checked.
EAGLE (ERROR 27): at start-up, after initialisation of
the PICNIC, the presence of the Eagle can be checked.
Note: If you encounter any problems, contact your local support desk.

Note:
Error codes 1, 6, or 18 are protection codes and in this case, supplies of some circuits will be switched “OFF”. Also, in protection, the LED will blink the number of times equivalent to the most recent error code.

5.6 The Blinking LED Procedure

5.6.1 Introduction

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 SDM is entered, the front LED will show (blink) the contents of the error-buffer. Error-codes > 10 are shown as follows: – A long blink of 750 ms (which is an indication of the decimal
digit),
– A pause of 1.5 s, – “n” short blinks (where “n” = 1 - 9), – When all the error-codes are displayed, the sequence
finishes with a LED blink of 3 s,
– The sequence starts again.
Example: Error 12 9 6 0 0. After activation of the SDM, the front LED will show: – 1 long blink of 750 ms (which is an indication of the decimal
digit) followed by a pause of 1.5 s,
– 2 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s, – 9 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s, – 6 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s, – 1 long blink of 3 s to finish the sequence, – The sequence starts again.
Note: If errors 1, 6, or 18 occur, the LED always gives the last occurred error even if the set is NOT in service mode.

5.6.2 How to Enter

Use one of the following methods:
Enter the SDM (only via soldering pads marked “SDM” on SSP). The blinking front LED will show the entire contents of the error buffer (this works in “normal operation” mode and in “protection” 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.
“DIAGNOSE X” with the DST (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.... When x = 0 all
errors are shown.

5.7 Protections

5.7.1 Introduction

This chassis has only one microprocessor (OTC), which remains active during Standby. This because power of the microprocessor and the attached memory chip set is coming from the 3V3 supply, which is derived from the 5V Standby­circuitry. Therefore, in both Power-on as in Standby mode, the microprocessor is connected to this power supply.
If a fault situation is detected, an error code will be generated and if necessary, the set is put in protection mode. The protection mode is indicated by the blinking of the front LED at a frequency of 3 Hz (or by a coded blinking in special cases).
The content of the error buffer can be read via the service menu (SAM), the blinking LED procedure or via DST/ComPair.
To get a quick diagnosis, this chassis has three service-modes implemented:
The Customer Service Mode (CSM).
The Service Default Mode (SDM). Start-up of the set in a predefined way.
The Service Alignment Mode (SAM). In this mode, items of the set can be adjusted via a menu.
You can enter both SDM and SAM modes via the “service pads” on the SSP, via an RC-transmitter (DST or standard RC), or via ComPair. It is not possible to enter the SAM in “standby”; the TV has to be in “normal operation” mode.
The “Protection Diagram” shows the structure of the protection system. See diagram below.

There are several types of protections:
I2C related protections.
OTC related protections (via polling on I/O pins or via algorithms).
Hardware protection
All protections are explained below.

5.7.2 I2C Related Protections

In normal operation, some registers of the I2C controlled ICs are refreshed every 200 ms. During this sequence, the I2C busses and the I2C ICs are checked. An I2C protection will take place if the SDA and SCL lines are short-circuited to ground, or to each other. An I2C error will also occur, if the power supply of the IC is missing.
DC/DC protection: When a 3V3 supply is short-circuited the DC/DC converter switches off and goes in protection. The FBX, EPLD IC, and 3D comb IC (US only) have no supply voltage and give no acknowledge. In this case, the set should go into protection. An error code is written in the NVM: DC/DC error.
FBX protection: the FBX protection is not available any more. It is replaced by the DC/DC protection.

5.7.3 OTC Related Protections

If a protection is detected at an OTC input, the OTC will start to scan all protection inputs every 200 ms for 5 times. If the protection on one of the inputs is still active after 1 s, the microprocessor will put the set in the protection mode. Before the scanning is started, a so-called “ESD refresh” is carried out. This is done, because the interrupt on one of the inputs is possibly caused either by a flash or by ESD. As a flash or ESD can influence IC settings, the HIP, MSP, 3D Comb (US only) and wireless module (not used in this set) are initialised again, to ensure the normal picture and sound conditions of the set.
8 V and 5 V protections: The microprocessor senses the presence of the 8 V and 5 V (via the “+5V_CON” and “+8V_CON” lines). If one (or both) of these voltages is (are) not present, an error code is stored in the error buffer of the NVM, and the set is put in the protection mode.
Audio DC protection: The OTC senses if the audio module is in protection via IRQ-DIGITAL (pin 98 of OTC). If this is the case, the OTC puts the set in protection.

Short-circuiting the 3V3 supply from the DC/DC converter will shut down the DC/DC converter. The absence of the 3V3 supply line is also sensed via I2C (see description DC/DC protection above), this is useful if there is something wrong in the detection circuit of the DC/DC converter. There are no hardware protections in this chassis, which switch off the supply.

5.8 Repair tips

5.8.1 3V3 Supply (DC/DC converter)

As mentioned above, the DC/DC converter is switched “off” when something goes wrong (detection of a missing 3V3 supply at one of the devices supplied by the 3V3). Because of this, the set goes to protection (I2C protection). Error code 55 is logged. For further diagnoses, you need to overrule the I2C protection: put the set in Service Default Mode by means of the solder pads on the SSB. The DC/DC converter is still not working because it is switched “off” by the 3V3_FAULT line (schematic B12). Now you have some possibilities:
1. First, measure the impedance over diode 6U06. In normal conditions, you should measure approximately 120 ohm (if possible, verify this with another set). If the impedance is much too low, do not try to start up the converter as mentioned below. Remind that if FET 7U03 is short­circuited, this will also influence your measurement.
2. Desolder coils 5U05 and 5U06, connect an external 3V3 supply at capacitor 2U23 (current limitation to 500 mA) and a second external 3V3 supply at capacitor 2U31 (current limitation to 800 mA). The normal working current of the 3V3_SIM line is approximately 400 mA and the normal working current for the 3V3_DCDCFBX line is approximately 700 mA. Therefore, if one of the currents exceeds their nominal value you can determine in which circuit the overload is situated. If the set would start up and you have normal picture, there is probably no overload but a problem in the detection circuits.
3. If you do not have two external power supplies, you can do the following: Desolder coils 5U02, 5U03, and 5U04 (you must desolder all three, otherwise the circuit could be damaged), connect an external power supply of 3V3 at the cathode of diode 6U06. Make sure to limit the current of this external supply to approximately 1200 mA. If the supplied current exceeds 1100 mA (approximately normal working current) you can conclude that one of the devices supplied by 3V3 is short-circuited.
4. Another possibility is to force the converter to start up by short-circuiting (and keep short-circuited) resistor 3U25 (B12). Caution: Be aware that this can damage the set. Even if you measure approximately 120 ohm over diode 6U06, there can still be something wrong in the converter itself. By short-circuiting resistor 3U25, the internal protection of the converter is disabled.

5.8.2 ComPair

This chassis does not have an IR transmitting LED (as in MG­sets). Therefore, a “Service” (ComPair) connector is implemented at the rear side of the set, which is directly accessible (as in A10-, EM2E-, EM3E and EM5E-sets). In addition to this, there is also a blinking LED procedure to show the contents of the error buffer.
When you use ComPair, you have the possibility to activate a “stepwise start-up” mode. With this mode, you can initiate the start-up sequence step by step. This also means that in certain
