JVC LT-32BX SERIES LCD TVs _ SELF CHECK MODE_ DETAILS




SELF CHECK FEATURE


This unit comes with the "Self check" feature, which checks the operational state of the circuit and displays/saves it during failure.Diagnosis is performed when power is turned on, and information input to the main microcomputer is monitored at all time.Diagnosis is displayed in 2 ways via screen display and LED flashes. Failure detection is based on input state of I2C bus and the various control lines connected to the main microcomputer.

TO ENTER SELF CHECK MODE
  • Press the [RETURN+] key and [MUTING] key simultaneously, then enter the SERVICE MODE.
  • Press the [2] key then enter the SELF CHECK MODE.
NOTE:
When a number key other than the [2] key is pressed in the SERVICE MODE screen, the other relevant screen may be displayed.  This is not used in the SELF CHECK MODE. Press the  [MENU] key to return to the MAIN MENU SCREEN.

TO EXIT SELF CHECK MODE
  • Turn off the power by unplugging the AC power cord plug when in the Self check display mode.
TO CLEAR [RESET] FAILURE HISTORY
  • Turn off the power by pressing the [POWER] key on the remote control unit when in the Self check display mode.
FAILURE HISTORY
  • Failure history can be counted up to 9 times for each item. When the number exceeds 9, display will remain as 9. Failure history will be stored in the memory unless it has been deleted.
NOTE:
Only SYNC (with/without sync signals) will be neither counted nor stored.

POINTS TO NOTE WHEN USING THE SELF CHECK FEATURE

In addition to circuit failures (abnormal operation), the following cases may also be diagnosed as "Abnormal" and counted.
  • Temporary defective transmissions across circuits due to pulse interruptions.
  • Misalignment in the on/off timing of power for I2C bus (Vcc) when turning on/off the main power.
Therefore, turn on the main power, and then wait for about 3 seconds before starting Self check.  If recurrences are expected, ensure to clear (reset) the failure history and record the new diagnosis results

Confirmation of presence of sync signal in selected
video signal.
IC7001 [DIGITAL PWB]


=== ===
The selected video input signal is always checked and if there is the
sync signal, it is displayed as
"OK", and if not as "NG".





METHOD OF DISPLAY WHEN A RASTER IS NOT OUTPUT


In the state where a raster is not output by breakdown of the set, an error is displayed by blink of the POWER LED.
  • Type of error:  Low bias line short protection.
  • POWER LED flash cycle:  Power LED turnig on and off at 1 second intervals
Explanation of operation

If error is detected, the power is turned off. Shortly after the power is turned off, POWER LED will be blinked.
When the protection of low bias line short operates, the power cannot be turned on until the power cord takes out and inserts, after the power is turned off.
