Error Codes
In case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before
you begin the repair. This to ensure that old error codes are no
longer present. Before clearing the buffer, write down the
content, as this history can give you significant information.
If possible, check the entire contents of the error buffer. In
some situations, an error code is only the result of another error
code and not the actual cause (e.g., a fault in the protection
detection circuitry can also lead to a protection).
There are various errors:
•
I
2
C device errors.
•
I
2
C bus errors.
•
Protection errors.
•
Errors not related to an I
2
C device, but of importance:
–
FEM (Falconic with Embedded Memory) (Error 26):
at start-up, after initialisation of the PICNIC, the
presence of the FEM can be checked.
–
Eagle (Error 27):
at start-up, after initialisation of the
PICNIC, the presence of the Eagle can be checked.
Table 5-1 Error Code Overview
Note
:
•
Error codes 1, 6, or 18 are protection codes. If one of the
errors appears, there are supplies of some circuits that will
be switched “off”. Also, in protection, the LED will blink the
number of times equivalent to the most recent error code.
•
If error 3 or error 55 appears, depending on the software
version, error 16 is also logged. Error 16 is a non existing
error.
•
Depending on the SW version, it is possible that error 8
(HIP error) is logged when switching off the TV with the
mains.
•
Errors 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 and 99 are errors for the IBO
module. Only errors 65 and 69 are possible errors. The
other errors are for internal use.
