Troubleshooting
Video symptoms can be classified into three groups:
•
White Screen – Video path open on any video signal board.
•
Black Screen - BB board or optical unit are suspect.
•
Video Screen Distortion – Narrow down by checking the features.
In a conventional TV, a loss of video signal results in a white screen with normal TV sound. This is also true in
this LCD projection TV. However, if the screen is dark with normal sound, either the LCD optical unit or the
previous BB circuit board may be bad.
On the other hand, a dark screen without sound indicates both video and audio muting and not a problem in the
video chain. Muting is caused by: 1) the Main Micro because of: a communications problem with another IC; 2)
a fan defect; 3) a lamp circuit defect; or 4) an audio output failure, which will also cause TV shutdown. Muting the
A/V is not a video failure. A video failure does not affect the sound.
White Screen
If the screen is white, there may be no input to the light box. Press the Menu button. If an OSD menu appears,
the optical unit is good and the previous stages are bad (BC or BB board). If no OSD, use Table 28-2 and a DVM
to verify these inputs to the optical unit before changing it. Measure the input voltage at CN5002 and verify RGB
input signal at CN5005. If the input voltages and signals are both present, the optical unit is suspect.
