Self-Diagnostics

Overview
The RA-4 chassis employs a Self-Diagnostic system that uses the Timer
LED and an on screen menu to help indicate where the problem with the
set has occurred. You will generally have to use the flashing LEDs since
the set will be shut down. AC power must be disconnected in order to turn
the set off once shutdown has occurred.
When a failure occurs, all of the circuits covered by the Self-Diagnostics,
except AKB, send a signal to the OSD CPU. The OSD CPU sends data
to the Main CPU that indicates how many times the Timer LED will flash.
The AKB circuit located in the Video Processor IC sends data over the
I2C bus directly to the Main CPU. In addition, each circuit, except AKB
and High Voltage, send a signal to the latch circuit to shut the set down
when failure occurs.

and the number remains at 99.
If the problem is intermittent and you can get the set to operate, you can
display a menu showing the number of times failures have occurred. This
is done by pressing the following sequence of buttons on the remote.
Display Channel 5 Vol - Power
The display will look as follows.
