3.4 Abbreviation List
3.1Safety 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.
3.3.2Schematic 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.

“Magazine”, then go to “Repair downloads”. Here you will find
Information on how to deal with BGA-ICs.

. Select
-12
-6
),
).
3.2Warnings
•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.
3.3Notes
3.3.1General
•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
3.3.5Lead-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.

3.3.6Alternative 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)
3.3.7Board 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!
3.3.8Practical 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.

The foam bars (order code 3122 785 90580 for two pieces) can
be used for all types and sizes of Flat TVs.
See Figure 4-8
for details. Sets with a display of 42" and larger,
require four foam bars [1]. Ensure that the foam bars are
always supporting the cabinet and never only the display.
Caution: Failure to follow these guidelines can seriously
damage the display!
By laying the TV face down on the (ESD protective) foam bars,
a stable situation is created to perform measurements and
alignments. By placing a mirror under the TV, you can monitor
the screen.

4.3.1Rear Cover
Warning: Disconnect the mains power cord before you remove
the rear cover.
Note: it is not necessary to remove the stand while removing
the rear cover.
1. Remove all screws of the rear cover.
2. Lift the rear cover from the TV. Make sure that wires and
flat coils are not damaged while lifting the rear cover from
the set.
4.3.4Ambilight
1. After removal of the rear cover, the Ambilight modules are
accessible.
2. Unplug the connector(s).
3. Remove the screws that fixate the unit.
4. The PWB can now be taken from the subframe.
When defective, replace the whole unit.
4.3.5Speakers
Woofers
Each woofer unit is mounted with three screws. A sticker on the
unit indicates if it is the right (“R”) or left (“L”) box (seen from the
front side of the TV).
1. Unplug the connectors.
2. Remove the screws that fixate the unit [1].
3. Take the unit out [2].
When defective, replace the whole unit.

5.1Test Points
As most signals are digital, it will be difficult to measure
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: Colour bar signal.
•Audio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.
5.2Service Modes
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.
This chassis also offers the option of using ComPair, a
hardware interface between a computer and the TV chassis. It
offers the abilities of structured troubleshooting, error code
reading, and software version read-out for all chassis.
(see also section “5.4.1
Note: For the new model range, a new remote control (RC) is
used with some renamed buttons. This has an impact on the
activation of the Service modes. For instance the old “MENU”
button is now called “HOME” (or is indicated by a “house” icon).
ComPair”).
•All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled, like:
– (Sleep) timer.
– Child/parental lock.
– Picture mute (blue mute or black mute).
– Automatic volume levelling (AVL).
– Skip/blank of non-favourite pre-sets.
How to Activate SDM
For this chassis there are two kinds of SDM: an analog SDM
and a digital SDM. Tuning will happen according Table 5-1
•AnalogSDM: use the standard RC-transmitter and key in
the code “062596”, directly followed by the “MENU” (or
HOME) button.
Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main
menu will appear. To switch it “off”, push the “MENU”(or
HOME) button again.
•DigitalSDM: use the standard RC-transmitter and key in
the code “062593”, directly followed by the “MENU” (or
HOME) button.
Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main
menu will appear. To switch it “off”, push the “MENU” (or
HOME) button again.
•AnalogSDM can also be activated by grounding for a
moment the solder pad on the SSB, with the indication
“SDM” (see Service mode pad
SDM
).
.
5.2.1Service 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 detected by stand-by
processor and make the TV start up to the step just before
protection (a sort of automatic stepwise start-up). See
section “5.3
•To start the blinking LED procedure where only LAYER 2
errors are displayed. (see also section “5.5

5.2.2Service 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.
How to Activate SAM
Via a standard RC transmitter: Key in the code “062596”
directly followed by the “OK” button. After activating SAM with
this method a service warning will appear on the screen,
continue by pressing the “OK” button on the RC.
Contents of SAM (see also Table 6-4
•Hardware Info.
– A. SW Version. Displays the software version of the
main software (example: Q5492-1.2.3.4 =
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
•Reset Error Buffer. When “cursor right” (or the “OK
button) is pressed and then the “OK” button is pressed, the
error buffer is reset.
•Alignments. This will activate the “ALIGNMENTS” submenu. See Chapter 6.
•Dealer Options. Extra features for the dealers.
•Options. Extra features for Service. For more info
regarding option codes, 6.
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
development analysis, before initializing. This will give
the Service department an extra possibility for
diagnosis (e.g. when Development asks for this).
– Initialize the NVM.
Note: When the NVM is corrupted, or replaced, there is a high
possibility that no picture appears because the display code is
not correct. So, before initializing the NVM via the SAM, a
picture is necessary and therefore the correct display option
has to be entered. Refer to Chapter 6.
To adapt this option, it’s advised to use ComPair (the correct
HEX values for the options can be found in Chapter 6.
Alignments) or a method via a standard RC (described below).

Alignments for details.
Changing the display option via a standard RC: Key in the
code “062598” directly followed by the “MENU” (or HOME)
button and “xxx” (where “xxx” is the 3 digit decimal display code
as mentioned in Table 6-3
). Make sure to key in all three digits,
also the leading zero’s. If the above action is successful, the
front LED will go out as an indication that the RC sequence was
correct. After the display option is changed in the NVM, the TV
will go to the Stand-by mode. If the NVM was corrupted or
empty before this action, it will be initialized first (loaded with
default values). This initializing can take up to 20 seconds.

•Store - go right. All options and alignments are stored
when pressing “cursor right” (or the “OK” button) and then
the “OK”-button.
•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.
•Operation hours display. Displays the accumulated total
of display operation hours. So, this one keeps up the
lifetime of the display itself, mainly to compensate the
degeneration behaviour.
•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”,
“Display-related alignments” and “History list”. First a
directory “repair\” has to be created in the root of the
USB stick. To upload the settings select each item
separately, press “cursor right” (or the “OK” button),
confirm with “OK” and wait until “Done” appears. In case
the download to the USB stick was not successful “Failure”
will appear. In this case, check if the USB stick is
connected properly and if the directory “repair” is present in
the root of the USB stick. Now the settings are stored onto
the USB stick and can be used to download onto another
TV or other SSB. Uploading is of course only possible if the
software is running and if a picture is available. This
method is created to be able to save the customer’s TV
settings and to store them into another SSB.
•Download to USB. To download several settings from the
USB stick to the TV, same way of working needs to be
followed as with uploading. To make sure that the
download of the channel list from USB to the TV is
executed properly, it is necessary to restart the TV and
tune to a valid preset if necessary.
Note: The “History list item” can not be downloaded from
USB to the TV. This is a “read-only” item. In case of
specific problems, the development department can ask
for this info.

•In SAM, the menu items can be selected with the
“CURSOR UP/DOWN” key on the RC-transmitter. The
selected item will be highlighted. When not all menu items
fit on the screen, move the “CURSOR UP/DOWN” key to
display the next/previous menu items.
•With the “CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT” keys, it is possible to:
– (De) activate the selected menu item.
– (De) activate the selected sub menu.
•With the “OK” key, it is possible to activate the selected
action.
How to Exit SAM
Use one of the following methods:
•Switch the TV set to STAND-BY via the RC-transmitter.
•Via a standard RC-transmitter, key in “00” sequence, or
select the “BACK” key.
5.2.3Customer Service Mode (CSM)
Purpose
When a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can
call his dealer or the Customer Helpdesk. The service
technician can then 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.
When in this chassis CSM is activated, a testpattern will be
displayed during 5 seconds (1 second Blue, 1 second Green
and 1 second Red, then again 1 second Blue and 1 second
Green). This test pattern is generated by the PNX51XX. So if
this test pattern is shown, it could be determined that the back
end video chain (PNX51XX, LVDS, and display) of the SSB is
working.
When CSM is activated and there is a USB stick connected to
the TV, the software will dump the complete CSM content to the
USB stick. The file (Csm.txt) will be saved in the root of the USB
stick. This info can be handy if no information is displayed.
Also when CSM is activated, the LAYER 1 error is displayed via
blinking LED. Only the latest error is displayed. (see also
section 5.5
How to Activate CSM
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, can be navigated through the menus.

5.3Stepwise Start-up
When the TV is in a protection state due to an error detected by
stand-by software (error blinking is displayed) and SDM is
activated via shortcutting the pins on the SSB, the TV starts up
until it reaches the situation just before protection. So, this is a
kind of automatic stepwise start-up. In combination with the
start-up diagrams below, you can see which supplies are
present at a certain moment. Important to know is, that if e.g.
the 3V3 detection fails and thus error layer 2 = 18 is blinking
while the TV is restarted via SDM, the Stand-by Processor will
enable the 3V3, but the TV set will not go to protection now.
The TV will stay in this situation until it is reset (Mains/AC
Power supply interrupted). Caution: in case the start-up in this
mode with a faulty FET 7U08 is done, you can destroy all IC’s
supplied by the +3V3, due to overvoltage (12V on 3V3-line). It
is recommended to measure first the FET 7U08 or others
FET’s on shortcircuit before activating SDM via the service
pads.
The abbreviations “SP” and “MP” in the figures stand for:
•SP: protection or error detected by the Stand-by Processor.
•MP: protection or error detected by the MIPS Main
Processor.

5.4.1ComPair
Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a Service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. and offers the following:
1. ComPair helps 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. No
knowledge on I
because ComPair takes care of this.
2
C or UART commands is necessary,
3. ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can
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 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).
The ComPair fault finding program is able to determine the
problem of the defective television, by a combination of
automatic diagnostics and an interactive question/answer
procedure.

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.
•Software is available via the Philips Service web portal.
•ComPair UART interface cable for Q54x.x.
(using 3.5 mm Mini Jack connector): 3138 188 75051.
Note: While encounting problems, contact the local support
desk.
5.4.2Memory and Audio Test
With this tool you can test the memory of the PNX8543, as well
if the PNX51XX is enabled and audio-testing.
What is needed?
– An USB-stick
– “TESTSCRIPT Q549”. Downloadable from the Philips
Service website from the section “Software for Service
only”
– A ComPair/service cable (3138 188 75051).
Procedure
Create a directory “JETTFILES” under the root of the USB-stick
– Place “MemTestTV543.bin” and “autojett.bin” (available in
“TESTSCRIPT Q549”) under the directory “JETTFILES”
– Install the computer program “BOARDTESTLOGGER”
(available in “TESTSCRIPT Q549”) on the PC
– Connect a “ComPair/service”-cable from the service-
connector in the set, into the “multi function” jack at the
front of the ComPair II box:
Required settings in ComPair:
2009-Sep-11
- start up the ComPair application.
- Select the correct database (open file “Q549.5E LA”, this
will set the ComPair interface in the appropriate mode).
- Close ComPair
– Start up the program “BOARDTESTLOGGER” and select
“COMx”
– Put the USB stick into the TV and start up the TV while
pressing the “i+”-button on a Philips DVD RC6 remote
control.
– On the PC the memory test is shown now. This is also
visible on the TV screen.
– In “BOARDTESTLOGGER” an option “Send extra UART
command” can be found where you can select “AUD1”.
This command generates hear test tones of 200, 400,
1000, 2000, 3 000, 5 000, 8 000 and 12 500Hz.
5.5Error Codes
5.5.1Introduction
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 occurs, it is added to the list of errors, provided
the list is not full. 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).
To prevent that an occasional error stays in the list forever, the
error is removed from the list after more than 50 hrs. of
operation.
When multiple errors occur (errors occurred within a short time
span), there is a high probability that there is some relation
between them.
New in this chassis is the way errors can be displayed:
•There is a simple blinking LED procedure for board level
repair (home repair) so called LAYER 1 errors next to the
existing errors which are LAYER 2 errors (see Table 5-2
– LAYER 1 errors are one digit errors.
– LAYER 2 errors are 2 digit errors.
•In protection mode.
– From consumer mode: LAYER 1.
– From SDM mode: LAYER 2.
•Fatal errors, if I2C bus is blocked and the set reboots,
CSM and SAM are not selectable.
– From consumer mode: LAYER 1.
– From SDM mode: LAYER 2.
Important remark:
For all errors detected by MIPS which are fatal =>
rebooting of the TV set (reboot starts after LAYER 1
error blinking), one should short the solder paths
(SDM) at start-up from the power OFF state by mains
interruption and not via the power button to trigger the
SDM via the hardware pins.
•In CSM mode
– When entering CSM: error LAYER 1 will be displayed
by blinking LED. Only the latest error is shown.
•In SDM mode
– When SDM is entered via Remote Control code or the
hardware pins, LAYER 2 is displayed via blinking LED.
•In the “ON” state
– In “Display error mode”, set with the RC commands
“mute_06250X _OK” LAYER 2 errors are displayed via
blinking LED.
•Error display on screen.
– In CSM no error codes are displayed on screen.
– In SAM the complete error list is shown.
Basically there are three kinds of errors:
•Errors detected by the Stand-by software which lead to protection. These errors will always lead to protection and
an automatic start of the blinking LED LAYER 1 error.
).
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
(see section “5.6 The Blinking LED Procedure”).
•Errors detected by the Stand-by software which not lead to protection. In this case the front LED should blink
the involved error. See also section “5.5
Error Buffer, Extra Info”. Note that it can take up several
minutes before the TV starts blinking the error (e.g. LAYER
1 error = 2, LAYER 2 error = “15” or “53”).
•Errors detected by main software (MIPS). In this case
the error will be logged into the error buffer and can be read
out via ComPair, via blinking LED method LAYER 1-2
error, or in case picture is visible, via SAM.
5.5.2How to Read the Error Buffer
Use one of the following methods:
•On screen via the SAM (only when a picture is visible).
E.g.:
– 00 00 00 00 00: No errors detected
– 23 00 00 00 00: Error code 23 is the last and only
detected error.
– 37 23 00 00 00: Error code 23 was first detected and
error code 37 is the last detected error.
– Note that no protection errors can be logged in the
error buffer.
•Via the blinking LED procedure. See section 5.5.3
Clear the Error Buffer.
•Via ComPair.
EN 29Q549.5E LA5.
Error Codes, 5.5.4
How to
5.5.3How 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”.
•If the content of the error buffer has not changed for 50+
hours, it resets automatically.
5.5.4Error Buffer
In case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before
starting to repair (before clearing the buffer, write down the
content, as this history can give significant information). This to
ensure that old error codes are no longer present.
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 several mechanisms of error detection:
•Via error bits in the status registers of ICs.
•Via polling on I/O pins going to the stand-by processor.
•Via sensing of analog values on the stand-by processor or
the PNX8543.
•Via a “not acknowledge” of an I
Take notice that some errors need several minutes before they
start blinking or before they will be logged. So in case of
problems wait 2 minutes from start-up onwards, and then
check if the front LED is blinking or if an error is logged.

•Rebooting. When a TV is constantly rebooting due to
internal problems, most of the time no errors will be logged
or blinked. This rebooting can be recognized via a ComPair
interface and Hyperterminal (for Hyperterminal settings,
see section “5.8
Fault Finding and Repair Tips, 5.8.6
Logging). It’s shown that the loggings which are generated
by the main software keep continuing. In this case
diagnose has to be done via ComPair.
•Error 13 (I
2
C bus 3 blocked). At the time of release of this
manual, this error was not working as expected. Current
situation: when this error occurs, the TV will constantly
reboot due to the blocked bus. The best way for further
diagnosis here, is to use ComPair.
•Error 15 (PNX8543,PNX51XX doesn’t boot). Indicates
that the main processor/PNX51XX was not able to read his
bootscript. This error will point to a hardware problem
around the PNX8543 (supplies not OK, PNX 8543
completely dead, I
Processor broken, etc...). When error 15 occurs it is also
possible that I
2
C link between PNX and Stand-by
2
C1 bus is blocked (NVM). I2C1 can be
indicated in the schematics as follows: SCL-UP-MIPS,
SDA-UP-MIPS, SCL-1, SDA-1, SCL-2 or SDA-2.
Other root causes for this error can be due to hardware
problems from the NVM PNX51XX, DDR’s and the
bootscript reading from the PNX51XX.
•Error 16 (12V). This voltage is made in the power supply
and results in protection (LAYER 1 error = 3) in case of
absence. When SDM is activated we see blinking LED
LAYER 2 error = 16.
•Error 17 (Invertor or Display Supply). Here the status of
the “Power OK” (INV_OK) is checked by software, no
protection will occur during failure of the invertor or display
supply (no picture), only error logging. Error LAYER 1 = 3
in CSM, in SDM this gives LAYER 2 error = 17.
•Error 18 (1V2-3V3-5V too low). All these supplies are
generated by the DC/DC supply on the SSB. If one of these
supplies is too low, protection occurs and blinking LED
LAYER 1 error = 2 will be displayed automatically. In SDM
this gives LAYER 2 error = 18.
•Error 21 (PNX 51XX). When there is no I
2
C
communication towards the PNX51XX, the TV set will start
rebooting and display LAYER 1 error = 2. Disconnect the
mains cord now and start up the TV set with the solder path
(SDM) short to ground during start-up to activate the
LAYER 2 error blinking. Error “21” will be logged and
displayed via the blinking LED procedure after a few
moments from start-up. Remark: the rebooting can be
recognized via a ComPair interface and Hyperterminal (for
Hyperterminal settings, see section “5.8
Fault Finding and
Repair Tips, 5.8.6 Logging”). It is shown that the loggings
which are generated by the main software keep continuing.
Check in the logging for keywords like e.g. “Device
error 21”.
•Error 23 (HDMI). When there is no I
2
C communication
towards the HDMI mux after start-up, LAYER 2 error = 23
will be logged and displayed via the blinking LED
procedure if SDM is switched on. It should be noted that in
case a new spare EDID MUX device is used for repair, the
initial default address must be changed from “C0” to “CE”,
to be done via ComPair.
•Error 24 (I
communication towards the I
2
C switch). When there is no I2C
2
C switch, LAYER 2
error = 24 will be logged and displayed via the blinking LED
procedure when SDM is switched on. Remark: this only
works for TV sets with an I
2
C controlled screen included.
•Error 25 (Boot-NVM PNX51XX). Same behaviour as
described in “Error 21 (PNX51XX)”.
•Error 27 (Micronas IF). When there is no I
2
C
communication towards the multi standard demodulator,
LAYER 2 error = 27 will be logged and displayed via the
blinking LED procedure if SDM is switched on.
•Error 28 (ARM ambilight). When there is no I
2
C
communication towards the ARM processor, LAYER 2
error = 28 will be logged and displayed via the blinking LED
procedure if SDM is switched on.
•Error 29 (FPGA local contrast). When there is no I
communication towards this FPGA, LAYER 2 error = 29
will be logged and displayed via the blinking LED
procedure if SDM is activated.
