put the TV in Service Default Mode by means of the solder
pads on the SSB (see figure "Service pads").
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 short-
circuited, 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 TV 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 TV. 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.

Protections
Activating SDM via the "service pads" will overrule the
processor-controlled protections, but not the hardware
protections. This means, that the A/D-input protections (5 and

Caution: When doing this, the service technician must know
what he is doing, as it could lead to damaging the TV.
Repair tip
Press MENU button on local keyboard for at least 3 seconds. Set will leave
factory mode and function normally again.
You have no picture, so:
- Read the error buffer via ComPair (error buffer is accessible when set is in
protection, ComPair-file will guide you to this).
- Read the blinking LED information via standard remote command
<mute>06250x<ok>.
- Or you read the error code sequence via standard remote command
<mute>062500<ok>.
When you have found the error, check the circuitry related to the supply voltage
