3.1 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 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. Of de set ontploft!
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 MΩ and 12 MΩ.
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.
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.

3.3.2 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 kΩ).
Resistor values with no multiplier may be indicated with either an “E” or an “R” (e.g. 220E or 220R indicates 220 Ω).
All capacitor values are given in micro-farads (μ=× 10 nano-farads (n =× 10
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.

3.3.3 Spare Parts

3.3.4 BGA (Ball Grid Array) ICs

Introduction
For more information on how to handle BGA devices, visit this URL: http://www.atyourservice-magazine.com “Magazine”, then go to “Repair downloads”. Here you will find Information on how to deal with BGA-ICs.
BGA Temperature Profiles
For BGA-ICs, you must use the correct temperature-profile. Where applicable and available, this profile is added to the IC Data Sheet information section in this manual.

),
).
3.2 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.
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.
3.3 Notes

3.3.1 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 with a colour bar signal and stereo sound (L: 3 kHz, R: 1 kHz unless stated otherwise) and

3.3.5 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.

Precautions, Notes, and Abbreviation List

3.3.6 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! 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. AG is Bruges), 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 2006 week 17). The 6 last digits contain the serial number.
Figure 3-1 Serial number (example)

3.3.7 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!

3.3.8 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.

5.1 Test Points
In the chassis schematics and layout overviews, the test points are mentioned. In the schematics, test points are indicated with “Fxxx” or “Ixxx”, in the layout overviews with a “half-moon” sign. As most signals are digital, it will be difficult to measure waveforms with a standard oscilloscope. 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: Colour bar signal.
Audio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.
5.2 Service Modes
The Service Mode feature is split into four parts:
Service Default Mode (SDM).
Service Alignment Mode (SAM).
Customer Service Mode (CSM).
Computer Aided Repair Mode (ComPair).
SDM and SAM offer features, which can be used by the Service engineer to repair/align a TV set. Some features are:

The CSM is a Service Mode that can be enabled by the consumer. The CSM displays diagnosis information, which the customer can forward to the dealer or call centre. In CSM mode, “CSM”, is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. The information provided in CSM and the purpose of CSM is to:
Increase the home repair hit rate.
Decrease the number of nuisance calls.
Solved customers' problem without home visit.
ComPair Mode is used for communication between a computer and a TV on I2C /UART level and can be used by a Service engineer to quickly diagnose the TV set by reading out error codes, read and write in NVMs, communicate with ICs and the uP (PWM, registers, etc.), and by making use of a fault finding database. It will also be possible to up and download the software of the TV set via I2C with help of ComPair. To do this, ComPair has to be connected to the TV set via the ComPair connector, which will be accessible through the rear of the set (without removing the rear cover).

5.2.1 General

Some items are applicable to all Service Modes or are general. These are listed below.
Life Timer
During the life time cycle of the TV set, a timer is kept (called “Op. Hour”). It counts the normal operation hours (not the Stand-by hours). The actual value of the timer is displayed in SDM and SAM in a decimal value. Every two soft-resets increase the hour by +1. Standby hours are not counted.
Software Identification, Version, and Cluster
The software ID, version, and cluster will be shown in the main menu display of SDM, SAM, and CSM. The screen will show: “AAAABCD X.YY”, where:
AAAA is the chassis name: LC91.
B is the region indication: E= Europe, A= AP/China, U= NAFTA, L= LATAM.
C is the display indication: L= LCD, P= Plasma.
D is the language/feature indication: 1= Standard, H= Full HD.
X is the main version number: this is updated with a major change of specification (incompatible with the previous software version). Numbering will go from 1 - 9 and A - Z. – If the main version number changes, the new version
number is written in the NVM.
– If the main version number changes, the default
settings are loaded.
YY is the sub version number: this is updated with a minor change (backwards compatible with the previous versions) Numbering will go from 00 - 99. – If the sub version number changes, the new version
number is written in the NVM.
– If the NVM is fresh, the software identification, version,
and cluster will be written to NVM.
Display Option Code Selection
When after an SSB or display exchange, the display option code is not set properly, it will result in a TV with “no display”. Therefore, it is required to set this display option code after such a repair. To do so, press the following key sequence on a standard RC transmitter: “062598” directly followed by MENU and “xxx”, where “xxx” is a 3 digit decimal value of the panel type: see column “Display Code” in Table 6-5
, or see sticker on the side/
bottom of the cabinet. When the value is accepted and stored in NVM, the set will switch to Stand-by, to indicate that the process has been completed.
Figure 5-1 Location of Display Option Code sticker
During this algorithm, the NVM-content must be filtered, because several items in the NVM are TV-related and not SSB­related (e.g. Model and Prod. S/N). Therefore, “Model” and “Prod. S/N” data is changed into “See Type Plate”. In case a call centre or consumer reads “See Type Plate” in CSM mode, he needs to look to the side/bottom sticker to identify the set, for further actions.

5.2.2 Service Default Mode (SDM)

Purpose
Set the TV in SDM mode in order to be able to create a pre­defined setting for measurements to be made. In this platform, a simplified SDM is introduced (without protection override and without tuning to a frequency of 475.25 MHz).
Specifications
Set linear video and audio settings to 50%, but volume to 25%. Stored user settings are not affected.
All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled, since they interfere with diagnosing/repairing a set. These service unfriendly modes are: – (Sleep) timer. – Blue mute/Wall paper. – Auto switch “off” (when there is no “ident” signal). – Hotel or hospital mode. – Child lock or parental lock (manual or via V-chip). – Skipping, blanking of “Not favourite”, “Skipped” or
“Locked” presets/channels.
– Automatic storing of Personal Preset or Last Status
settings.
– Automatic user menu time-out (menu switches back/
OFF automatically.
– Auto Volume levelling (AVL).
How to Activate
To activate SDM, use one of the following methods:
Press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: “062596” directly followed by the MENU button (do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence).
Short one of the “Service” jumpers on the TV board during cold start (see Figure 5-2 (remove the short after start-up). Caution: Activating SDM by shorting “Service” jumpers will override the DC speaker protection (error 1), the General I2C error (error 4), and the Trident video processor error (error 5). When doing this, the service-technician must know exactly what he is doing, as it could damage the television set.

How to Navigate
As this mode is read only, there is not much to navigate. To switch to other modes, use one of the following methods:
Command MENU from the user remote will enter the normal user menu (brightness, contrast, colour, etc...) with “SDM” OSD remaining, and pressing MENU key again will return to the last status of SDM again.
To prevent the OSD from interfering with measurements in SDM, command “OSD” or “i+” (“STATUS” or “INFO” for NAFTA and LATAM) from the user remote will toggle the OSD “on/off” with “SDM” OSD remaining always “on”.
Press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: “062596” directly followed by the OSD/ STATUS/INFO/i+ button to switch to SAM (do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence).

How to Exit
Switch the set to STANDBY by pressing the mains button on the remote control transmitter or on the television set. If you switch the television set “off” by removing the mains (i.e., unplugging the television), the television set will remain in SDM when mains is re-applied, and the error buffer is not cleared. The error buffer will only be cleared when the “clear” command is used in the SAM menu.
Note:
If the TV is switched “off” by a power interrupt while in SDM, the TV will show up in the last status of SDM menu as soon as the power is supplied again. The error buffer will not be cleared.
In case the set is in Factory mode by accident (with “F” displayed on screen), by pressing and hold “VOL-“ and “CH-” together should leave Factory mode.

5.3 Service Tools

5.3.1 ComPair

Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a Service tool for Philips Consumer Electronics products. and offers the following:
1. ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how to repair the chassis in a short and effective way.
2. ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics and is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem areas. You do not have to know anything about I2C or UART commands yourself, because ComPair takes care of this.
3. ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can automatically communicate with the chassis (when the uP is working) and all repair information is directly available.
4. ComPair features TV software up possibilities.
Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding program and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product. The (new) 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).
How to Connect
This is described in the ComPair chassis fault finding database.

5.4 Error Codes

5.4.1 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 I
General I
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 may never lead to a deadlock situation. This means that it must always be diagnosable (e.g. error buffer via OSD or blinking LED procedure, ComPair to read from the NVM). 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.
Example: In case of a failure of the I2C bus (CAUSE), the error code for a “General I2C failure” and “Protection errors” is displayed. The error codes for the single devices (EFFECT) is not displayed. All error codes are stored in the same error buffer (TV’s NVM) except when the NVM itself is defective.

5.3.2 LVDS Tool

Figure 5-7 ComPair II interface connection
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 will be blown!
How to Order
ComPair II order codes:
ComPair II interface: 3122 785 91020.
ComPair UART interface cable: 3138 188 75051.
Program software can be downloaded from the Philips Service website.
Note: If you encounter any problems, contact your local support desk.
Support of the LVDS Tool has been discontinued.

5.4.2 How to Read the Error Buffer

You can read the error buffer in 3 ways:
On screen via the SAM/SDM/CSM (if you have a picture). Example: – ERROR: 0 0 0 0 0 : No errors detected – ERROR: 6 0 0 0 0 : Error code 6 is the last and only
detected error
ERROR: 9 6 0 0 0 : Error code 6 was detected first and
error code 9 is the last detected (newest) error
Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no picture). See paragraph 5.5 The Blinking LED Procedure.
•Via ComPair.

5.4.3 Error codes

The layer 1 error codes are pointing to the defective board. They are triggered by LED blinking when CSM is activated. In the LC09M platform, only two boards are present: the SSB and the PSU, meaning only two layer 1 errors are defined (or three in case an additional bolt-on module is added):
2: SSB
4: PSU
6: Bolt-on.
The following layer 2 errors have been assigned:
00: no error
11: DC protection of speakers, detected by MT539x
12: +12V protection error (or 12V failure), detected by standby processor during start-up
13: POK line error

5.4.4 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:
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.

5.5 The Blinking LED Procedure

5.5.1 Introduction

The software is capable of identifying different kinds of errors. Because it is possible that more than one error can occur over time, an error buffer is available, which is capable of storing the last five errors that occurred. This is useful if the OSD is not working properly.
Errors can also be displayed by the blinking LED procedure. The method is to repeatedly let the front LED pulse with as many pulses as the error code number, followed by a period of
1.5 seconds in which the LED is “off”. Then this sequence is
repeated.
Example (1): error code 4 will result in four times the sequence LED “on” for 0.25 seconds / LED “off” for 0.25 seconds. After this sequence, the LED will be “off” for 1.5 seconds. Any RC5 command terminates the sequence. Error code LED blinking is in red colour.
Example (2): the content of the error buffer is “129600” After entering SDM, the following occurs:
1 long blink of 5 seconds to start the sequence,
12 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds,
9 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds,
6 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds,
1 long blink of 1.5 seconds to finish the sequence,
The sequence starts again with 12 short blinks.

5.5.2 Displaying the Entire Error Buffer

Additionally, the entire error buffer is displayed when Service Mode “SDM” is entered. In case the TV set is in protection or Stand-by: The blinking LED procedure sequence (as in SDM­mode in normal operation) must be triggered by the following RC sequence: “MUTE” “062500” “OK”. In order to avoid confusion with RC5 signal reception blinking, this blinking procedure is terminated when a RC5 command is received.

5.6 Fault Finding and Repair Tips

Notes:
It is assumed that the components are mounted correctly with correct values and no bad solder joints.
Before any fault finding actions, check if the correct options are set.

5.6.1 Software Protections

Most of the protections and errors use either the stand-by or the micro processor as detection device. Since in these cases, checking of observers, polling of ADCs, and 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.
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.

5.6.2 Hardware Protections

The only real hardware protection in this chassis is (in case of an audio problem) the audio protection circuit that will trigger the uP to switch “off” the TV.
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). Caution: (dis)connecting the speaker wires during the ON state of the TV at high volume can damage the audio amplifier.

5.6.3 NVM Editor

In some cases, it can be convenient if one directly can change the NVM contents. This can be done with the “NVM Editor” in SAM mode. With this option, single bytes can be changed.
2009-Apr-10
Caution:
Do not change these, without understanding the function of each setting, because incorrect NVM settings may seriously hamper the correct functioning of the TV set!
Always write down the existing NVM settings, before changing the settings. This will enable you to return to the original settings, if the new settings turn out to be incorrect.

5.6.4 Load Default NVM Values

It is possible to download default values automatically into the NVM in case a blank NVM is placed or when the NVM first 20 address contents are “FF”. After the default values are downloaded, it is possible to start-up and to start aligning the TV set. To initiate a forced default download the following action has to be performed:
1. Switch “off” the TV set with the mains cord disconnected from the wall outlet (it does not matter if this is from “Stand­by” or “Off” situation).
2. Short-circuit the SDM jumpers on the SSB (keep short circuited).
3. Press “P+” or “CH+” on the local keyboard (and keep it pressed).
4. Reconnect the mains supply to the wall outlet.
5. Release the “P+” or “CH+” when the set is started up and has entered SDM.
When the downloading has completed successfully, the set should be into Stand-by, i.e. red LED on.
After replacing an EEPROM (or with a defective/no EEPROM), default settings should be used to enable the set to start-up and allow the Service Default Mode and Service Alignment Mode to be accessed.

5.6.5 Display option code

Caution: In case you have replaced the SSB, always check the
display option code in SAM, even if you have picture. With a wrong display option code it is possible that you have picture, but that in certain conditions you have unwanted side-effects.

5.6.6 Trouble Shooting Tuner section

When there is no picture in analog RF mode:
1. Check whether picture is present in AV mode. If not, tuner section is okay. Check video processing section.
2. Check if option settings are correct. Tuner profile in OP10: OPA7..OPA5=000 (China region), 010 (AP region).
3. Check if 5 V supply is available at test points F256, F228, F229 and F219, and if 33 V is available at test point F257.
4. Check if the I
2
C lines are working correctly (3.3 V).
5. Manually store a known channel and check if there is IF output at tuner pin 11. If not, tuner is faulty.
6. Feed in 105 dBuV at tuner pin 11 and check whether there is CVBS output from IF demodulator IC. If not, IF demodulator might be faulty. Check components in this area.
Alternative method:
It is also possible to upload the default values to the NVM with ComPair in case the SW is changed, the NVM is replaced with a new (empty) one, or when the NVM content is corrupted.

5.6.9 Start-up/Shut-down Flowcharts

On the next pages you will find start-up and shut-down flowcharts, which might be helpful during fault finding.
POWER STATES
In this chassis, there are six possible power states as follows:
Power OFF
Power ON
STANDBY
SEMI-STANDBY
Special Panel Mode
PROTECTION
Figure 5-10 Power States
POWER OFF
In “Power OFF” mode, the system is completely switched “off” from AC mains. When AC power is applied, the system checks for last status. Depending on the last standby status stored in the system EEPROM, this mode can then transit to “ON” or “STANDBY” mode.
ON
This is the normal operating mode, indicated by the “on” LED. All the power supply lines are available and depending on the sub-mode, all the circuits in the system may be active. From this mode it shall be possible to transit to “STANDBY” and “PROTECTION” mode, or to “Power OFF” mode if AC mains are switched “off”. The sub-modes are:
Active Mode (Normal Consumer Mode)
Service Modes
Panel Modes
Factory Modes
SPECIAL PANEL MODE
The Special Panel Mode is only used during manufacturing process to program the system EEPROM. In this mode, the SDA0 and SCL0 ports of MT5392 are set to high impedance after SDM and PANEL pins are both detected as “low” during start-up. This mode can be exited using a power recycle.
PROTECTION
This state is entered when an error has been detected at start­up or in the “ACTIVE” mode. All switched power supply lines are turned “off” with only +3V3stby remaining “on”; similar to “STANDBY” mode. This state is indicated by the blinking red front LED with the blinking sequence denoting the type of error detected. When the system enters the protection mode due to a critical error, it should be turned “off” and the failure cause needs to be resolved. The system will function normally again after performing a power recycling once all protection causing failures have been resolved.
START-UP SEQUENCE
There are two cases of start-up sequences, namely:
AC On and
Standby Wake-up.
See also Figure 5-11
.
AC ON
In the case of start-up from AC mains, all PSU voltages start to turn “on” as the hardware default of the active “low” STANDBY (controlled by Standby Controller STANDBY signal) signal to the PSU is pulled “low” with respect to ground. The MT5392 starts running boot loader once the hardware reset circuit is released. The system will then check the last standby status from the system EEPROM to determine whether to complete the system start-up (load image, turn on the audio, display etc) or proceed to standby and wait for wake­up command from user. The Standby Controller then proceeds to verify the power status of the +12V and sends the system to protection in case of any failures. Special Panel, SDM, and PANEL modes are detected as well.
STANDBY WAKEUP
When the system receives a command to wake-up from standby, the Standby Controller sets the STANDBY signal “low” to turn “on” the switched power, and similarly detects for the presence of +12V. The MT5392 waits for +3V3_SW to be available before loading its image. The significance of this voltage detection is due to the flash is also being powered by the same mentioned voltage. The following figure shows the start-up flowchart for both “AC On” and “Standby Wake-up”:
STANDBY
The total power consumption of the system in this mode shall be equal or less than 150 mW. This state is indicated by white LED when AC mains is switched “on”. Only the standby controller is operational in this state, where only +3V3stby power supply is available. From this mode it shall be possible to transit to the “ACTIVE” or “Power OFF” mode if AC mains are switched “off”.
SEMI-STANDBY
The semi-standby state is required to perform the following tasks:

5.7 Software Upgrading

5.7.1 Introduction

It is possible for the user to upgrade the main software via the USB port. This allows replacement of a software image in a stand alone set, without the need of an E-JTAG debugger. A description on how to upgrade the main software can be found in the DFU or on the Philips website.

5.7.2 Main Software Upgrade

Automatic Software Upgrade
In “normal” conditions, so when there is no major problem with the TV, the main software and the default software upgrade application can be upgraded with the “autorun.upg” (FUS part in the one-zip file). This can also be done by the consumers themselves, but they will have to get their software from the commercial Philips website or via the Software Update Assistant in the user menu (see DFU). The “autorun.upg” file must be placed in the root of your USB stick.
How to upgrade:
1. Copy “autorun.upg” to the root of your USB stick.
2. Insert USB stick in the side I/O while the set is in “On” mode. The set will prompt for software upgrade acknowledge, after which the upgrading will start automatically. As soon as the programming is finished, you have to give a “restart” command, after which the set will restart. In the “Setup” menu you can check if the latest software is running.
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding

5.7.3 Content and Usage of the One-Zip Software File

Below you find a content explanation of the One-Zip file, and instructions on how and when to use it.
Ambi_clustername_version.zip. Not to be used by Service technicians.
Panel_clustername_version.zip. Not to be used by Service technicians.
EDID_clustername_version.zip. Contains the EDID content of the different EDID NVMs. See ComPair for further instructions.
FUS_clustername_version.zip. Contains the “autorun.upg” which is needed to upgrade the TV main software and the software download application.
NVM_clustername_version.zip. Default NVM content. Must be programmed via ComPair.

5.7.4 How to Copy NVM Data to/from USB

Write NVM data to USB
1. Insert the USB stick into the USB slot while in SAM mode.
2. Execute the command "NVM Copy" > "NVM Copy to USB", to copy the NVM data to the USB stick. The NVM filename on the USB stick will be named "NVM_COPY.BIN" (this takes a couple of seconds).
Write NVM data to TV
1. First, ensure (via a PC) that the filename on the USB stick has the correct format: "NVM_COPY.BIN".
2. Insert the USB stick into the USB slot while in SAM mode.
3. Execute the command "NVM Copy" > "NVM Copy from USB" to copy the USB data to NVM (this takes about a minute to complete).
Important: The file must be located in the root directory of the USB stick.
