> Check to see if there is a disconnected or loose cable connection.
> Check to see if the cables are connected according to the connection diagram.
Check the power input to the Main Board.
Check the internal patterns from both the FRC and FBE3 options.
FRC: Factory mode(mute 1 - 8- 2 power on when TV is “standby on “) > advanced(press 0-0-0-0) > FRC > FRCQ Option > PATT_AfterDDR
* FRCM pattern is created by FRCM IC(T-con)
FBE3: Factory mode(mute 1 - 8- 2 power on when TV is “standby on “) > advanced(press 0-0-0-0) > FBE3 > Pattern_sel
* Main pattern is created by Main IC(Chelsea)
Case1: FBE3 ok,FRC NG: change the T-con Board

General
Alignments
usually, a color LCD-TV needs only slight touch-up adjustment upon installation.
Check the basic characteristics such as height, horizontal and vertical sync.
Use the specified test equipment or its equivalent.
Correct impedance matching is essential.
Avoid overload. Excessive signal from a sweep generator might overload the front-end
of the TV. When inserting signal markers, do not allow the marker generator to distort test result.
Connect the TV only to an AC power source with voltage and frequency as specified on the back cover nameplate.
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect any wire while the TV is turned on. Make sure that the power cord is disconnected before replacing any parts.
To protect against shock hazard, use an isolation transformer.
