Sony KV-XA34M30A-RM-952 – South Africa – How to enter the service mode, service mode adjustments, LED blinking error codes, and schematic

 

SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION (LED blinking error codes)

The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will automatically begin to flash.
The number of times the lamp flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/ TIMER lamp flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an errors occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the lamp will identify the first of the problem areas.
Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occurred if the screen displays a “0”.

Note 1: If a + B over current is detected, stoppage of the vertical deflection is detected simultaneously.  The symptom that is diagnosed first by the microcontroller is displayed on the screen.
Note 2: Refer to screen (G2) Adjustment in section.

DISPLAY OF STANDBY/TIMER LIGHT FLASH COUNT

STOPPING THE STANDBY/TIMER FLASH
Turn off the power switch on the TV main unit or unplug the power cord from the outlet to stop the STANDBY/TIMER lamp from flashing.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY
For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes out” that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurances of failure for confirmation on the screen:
[To Bring Up Screen Test]
In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid succession as shown below:
[Screen display] / channel [5] / Sound volume [-] / Power ON
˘
Note that this differs from entering the service mode (mode volume [+])

Self-Diagnosis screen display

HANDLING OF SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY
Since the diagnostic results displayed on the screen are not automatically cleared, always check the self-diagnostic screen during repairs. When you have completed the repairs, clear the result display to “0”.
Unless the result display is cleared to “0”, the self-diagnostic function will not be able to detect subsequent faults after completion of the repairs.
[Clearing the result display]
To clear the result display to “0”, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially as shown below when the diagnostic screen is being displayed.  Channel [8] / 0
[Quitting Self-diagnostic screen]
To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the remote commander or the main unit.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT

[+B over current OCP] Occurs when an over current on the +B(135) line is detected by Q604. If Q604 go to ON and the voltage to pin 18 of IC301 should go down when V.SYNC is more than seven verticals in a period, the unit will automatically turn off.

Vertical deflection stopped] Occurs when an absence of the vertical deflection pulse is detected by Q509 and IC001 shut down the power supply.
Vertical deflection over current] Occurs when an over current on V drive line is detected by Q507. Power supply will be shut down when detect this by IC001.
White balance failure] If the RGB levels* do not balance or become low level within 5 seconds, this error will be detected by IC301. TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.
* (Refers to the RGB levels of the AKB detection Ref pulse that detects IK.)

"RESET" FUNCTION
1. Purpose
If a customer faces some setting problem that cannot be solved, using the "RESET" function some items will be reset to its original setting (shipment condition)
2. How to Operate
The way to access to the "RESET" Function:-
a) By pressing "MENU" button or "SELECT" button (for non-menu models) on the Front Key Input and hold it down for 5 seconds.
3. Subsequent of Operation
Sequential to the resetting operation (either methods being used in No. 2), TV set would shut down once and automatically turn on again. The power-off duration is expected to be about 500msec. An OSD message, "RESET" tentatively will be displayed for 10 sec after IK status gets stable.
As a result, some items will be reset to an initial condition (shipment condition) whereas some other remains at the last selection by user.
Items that remains at the last selection by user
