TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM INDICATED BY THE ERROR INDICATION OF LED
  • All symptom is that Lamp turns off or Lamp does not light up)

Note: Before performing the troubleshooting, confirm that all connector cables in the unit are connected to connectors correctly.

Error No
Problem
Possible Solution






1





Cooling Fan (Fan1, Fan2 and/or Fan3) malfunction.
Are the Fan1, Fan2 and Fan3 operating?

No: Replace the TV unit (Power C.B.A. or
Base C.B.A.). Still NG, replace the Projection Unit.

Only the fan-1 stops: Replace the Projection Unit.

Only the fan-2 stops: Replace the Projection Unit.

Only the fan-3 stops: Replace the Fan3.




2



Mis-installed the Lamp Cover (the Lamp cover is open).
  1. Tighten the screw of the Lamp Cover.

  1. If still NG, replace the Cover SW (SW2911) on the Cover Switch C.B.A.
  2. If still NG, replace the TV unit (Main C.B.A.).









3






The temperature sensor (R2811) on the Thermistor 1 C.B.A. on the Fan 1 is short or open.
Remove P2302 connector on the LCD Drive C.B.A. and check if the resistance between pin1 and pin2 of P2811 on the Thermistor 1 C.B.A. is 5k 200k . If NG, replace the Temperature Sensor (R2811) on the Thermistor 1 C.B.A. Still NG, replace the Projection Unit. Still NG, replace the Main C.B.A.

Note: The Projection Unit includes LCD Drive C.B.A.















4









Temperature Sensor (R2811) on Thermistor 1 C.B.A. exceeds 55 °C (131 °F).

1. The surrounding temperature of the place of use may be too high.
2. The vents on the rear may be blocked.
1. Relocate the unit to a proper location.
  • Do not place in direct sunlight and other sources of direct heat.
  • Do not place the unit in humid or dusty location, or areas exposed to smoke or steam.  (surrounding temperature should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F) and humidity should be between 20 % and 80 % (with no      condensation).)
  • The vents are not blocked.  It is recommended that a gap of at least 10 cm is left all around the unit even when it is placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.

2. Check if the fans are operating properly.







5
1. The Lamp is not cooled off.
2. Thermal Fuse Unit (115°C (239°F)) is defective (open).
3. The Lamp is defective (crack).
4. The Lamp voltage becomes more over 130V or less than 30V.
5. The Ballast C.B.A. is defective.
6. The Main C.B.A. is defective.
1. Confirm that the Thermal Fuse Unit (115°C(239°F)) on the Lamp House is not open.
2. Wait until the Lamp is cooled off and try to turn the power back on. If same error LED indication continues, remove the Lamp and visually inspect it. If it is cracked, it must be replaced. If the Lamp is not cracked, replace the Ballast C.B.A.
3. If still NG, replace the TV unit (Main C.B.A.).

6
The Lamp is defective (short of the Lamp).

Replace the Lamp.

7
Thermal fuse (F1302) 117 °C (243 °F) on the Ballast C.B.A. is open due to abnormal temperature rise.

Replace the Ballast C.B.A.

8

The Ballast C.B.A. is defective.
If the Lamp does not light up after attempting turning on the power 2 or 3 times, replace the Ballast C.B.A.



9
1. +17V line on the LCD Drive C.B.A. error.
2. +9V line on the LCD Drive C.B.A. error.
3. +5V line on the LCD Drive C.B.A. error.
1. Replace the TV unit (Power C.B.A. or Base C.B.A.).
2. If still NG, replace the Projection Unit (LCD Drive C.B.A.).

The temperature sensor (R2821) on the Thermistor 2 C.B.A. on the Lamp House is short or open.
Remove P2303 connector on the LCD Drive C.B.A. and check if the resistance between pin1 and pin2 of P2821 on the Thermistor 2 C.B.A. is 5k 1M . If NG, replace the Temperature Sensor (R2821) on the Thermistor 2 C.B.A. Still NG, replace the Projection Unit. Still NG, replace the Main C.B.A.
Note: The Projection Unit includes LCD Drive C.B.A.










11






It indicates when the temperature detected by the Temperature Sensor (R2821) on Thermistor 2 C.B.A. exceeds 105 °C (221 °F).
1. The surrounding temperature of the place of use may be too high.
2. The vents on the rear may be blocked.
1. Relocate the unit to a proper location.
* Do not place in direct sunlight and other sources of direct heat.
* Do not place the unit in humid or dusty location, or areas exposed to smoke or steam.  (surrounding temperature should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F) and humidity should be between 20 % and 80 % (with no condensation).)
* The vents are not blocked.
It is recommended that a gap of at least 10 cm is left all around the unit even when it is placed inside a cabinet or between shelves.
2. Check if the fans are operating properly.



12

Clogged air filter of the Fan Case Unit.
1. Cleaning the Air Filter on the Projection Unit.
2. If still NG, replace the Projection Unit.
3. If still NG, replace the TV unit (Main C.B.A.).
