condition on these models. Check for the 12V at CN6201/pin 9 on the
G5E-Board or CN2/pin 9. If the 12V is missing replace the power supply
board.
Finally, a “Dead Set” condition can be caused by a defective microprocessor
IC400. The microprocessor outputs the Power-On signal which activates
the switch circuit on the power supply board and passes the 19V from
the Standby power supply to active the Relay, PFC, and Main Power
Supply circuits. If the Power-On signal is not output after receiving the
Power-ON command the power supply board circuits remain inactive and
a “Dead Set” condition exists. The Power-On signal can be checked at
CN6201/pin 3 or CN2/pin 3. It should measure approximately 3.3Vdc If
the measurement is 0Vdc after pressing the power button then the TV
microprocessor is defective. Replace the A-Board. If the power-on voltage
is 3V after pressing the power button then the switch circuit on the power
supply board is defective. Replace the power supply board.

7X Blink - Temperature Failure In either case the A-Board must be replaced to fix the problem.
These models do not display a temperature warning OSD dialogue box
before shutting-off and going into a 7X Standby-LED blink pattern. It
will just shut-off and activate a 7X without any usually warning on the
screen.
The main objective when a 7X blink pattern occurs is to determine which
of the following possible defects is causing the excessive temperature
condition.
• Excessive Ambient Room Temperature
• Dust or Debris Blocking the TV Ventilation Apertures
• Defective Temperature Sensor IC4305 or MT5388
microprocessor (A-Board)
The first step is to notice how long it takes the TV to shut-off and trigger a
7X blink protection mode.
If the TV has an actual excessive temperature condition it will take a
considerable period of time to shut-off and indicate a 7X blink protection
mode. This is because it will take time for the TV to heat up and for the
temperature sensor to detect the excessive temperature and shut the TV
off
If the TV takes a considerable period of time to shut-off check the following
items:
• The TV should not be located too close to any heating
elements.
• The TV should have at least 4 inches of clearance around all
sides to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Check that all vented areas on the TV are clear of all Dust and
Debris.
If the TV shuts-off immediately (Not an Actual Excessive Temperature
Condition) after Power-ON then one of the following components has
failed.
• Main Microprocessor IC3002 (A-Board)
• Temperature Sensor IC3502 (A-Board)
