Lamp error detection
1. Function
This LCD color TV set incorporates a lamp error detection feature that automatically turns off the power for safety under abnormal lamp or lamp
circuit conditions. If by any chance anything is wrong with the lamp or lamp circuit or if the lamp error detection feature is activated for some reason, the following will result.
1) The power is interrupted in about 6 seconds after it is turned on.
(The power LED on the front of the TV set turns red from green and keeps blinking in red: ON for 300ms and OFF for 1500ms.).
2) If the above phenomenon 1) occurs 5 times consecutively, it becomes impossible to turn on the power. (The power LED remained red).
2. Measures
1) Checking with lamp error detection OFF
Enter the adjustment process mode, referring to 2. Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode.
If there is a problem with the lamp or lamp circuit, the lamp will go out. (The power LED is green.)
Then, you can check the operation to see if the lamp and lamp circuit are in trouble.
2) Resetting the lamp error count
After the lamp and lamp circuit are found out of trouble, reset the lamp error count. If a lamp error is detected five consecutive times, the power
cannot be turned on. Using the cursor ( UP / DOWN ) key, move to the cursor to [LAMP ERROR RESET], Line 8 on adjustment process mode service page 2/16. With the cursor (</>) keys, select the [LAMP ERROR RESET] value. Finally press the cursor (OK) eys to reset the value to “0”.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM : Unit enters trip mode. Green LED illuminates then the set goes to
standby a few seconds later.
CAUSE : Lamp error counter reaching maximum limit. If the lamp counter is reset, the set will work until the limit is reached again.
ACTION : It has been found that any of the lamps within the LCD panel may not be fitted correctly and cause’s the lamp to function intermittently and an error is then produced. Carefully and in a clean environment remove the LCD panel from the cabinet fascia and then remove the LCD glass sheet and diffuser to expose the backlights. Look at the lamp connections within the back panel and ensure the lamp metal contacts are correctly located
