5.6 The Blinking LED Procedure
Using this procedure, you can make the contents of the error
buffer visible via the front LED. This is especially useful when
there is no picture.
When the SDM is entered, the front LED will blink the contents
of the error-buffer:
• The LED blinks with as many pulses as the error code
number, followed by a time period of 1.5 seconds, in which
the LED is off.
• Then this sequence is repeated.
Any RC5 command terminates this sequence.
Example of error buffer: 12 9 6 0 0
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.
5.7 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.
5.7.1 NVM Editor
In some cases, it can be handy 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.
Caution:
• Do not change the NVM settings without
understanding the function of each setting, because
incorrect NVM settings may seriously hamper the
correct functioning of the TV set!
• Do not change the Scaler NVM settings, as this will
hamper the DVI functionality of the TV set!
• Always note down the existing NVM settings, before
changing the settings. This will enable you to return to the
orgininal settings, if the new settings turn out to be
incorrect.
