Other error codes are:
• Video Chip start-up failure
The last five errors, stored in the NVM, are shown in the service menu. This is called the error buffer.
An error code will be added to the buffer if it differs from the last error detected.
If errors occur simultaneously, and the codes for these errors differ from the errors currently on screen,
the display will be updated to reflect this change.
The error that is found last is displayed on the left. The error code to the right should be used to solve a
multiple error fault. If an intermittent fault occurs refer to the stored error code.
Example:
Suppose the display shows: 7 5 2 0 0
In this case, the last error detected was a Stereo I 2 C error.
A seven (7) appears at the 1 st position (on the left), and pushes the previous error(s) detected one space
to the right.
The following error codes have been defined:
0 = No error
1 = Master Protect (Master Protect, Monitors Beam Current/Xray(6732), 8v LOT(6730), 25v
LOT(6731), vertical(6755), tuner 5v (6733), these diodes will pull pin 26 of micro 7600 low and
shut off TV.
A one (1) will be stored after the fault is cleared.)
2 = I 2 C error while communicating with a processor
3 = General I 2 C error (*)
4 = Internal RAM error micro controller
5 = I 2 C error EEPROM error
6 = I 2 C error PLL tuner
7 = Stereo I 2 C error
I 2 C =(SCL/SDA)
Note:
General I 2 C error means: no I 2 C device is responding to the particular I 2 C bus.
(*)
Possible causes:
SCL Short circuit to GND, SDA Short Circuit to GND, SCL Short Circuit to SDA, SDA Open Circuit
(at uP pin), SCL Open Circuit (at uP pin)
Cause and Effect
In case a failure identified by an error code automatically results in other error codes (cause and effect),
only the error code of the MAIN failure will be displayed. Example: In case of a failure of the I 2 C bus
(CAUSE), the error code for a „general I 2 C failure" will be displayed. The error codes for the single
devices (EFFECT) won't be displayed.
NVM replacement or Defective NVM
After replacing a NVM (or with a defective/no NVM) default settings will be used that enable the set to start
up and that allow access to the Service „SDAM" Mode.
Service unfriendly modes
In the service modes, a number of modes/features are ignored since they interfere with diagnosing or
repairing a set. These are „service unfriendly modes."
