Maintenance Features:

The manual emphasizes safety precautions for servicing, including:

  • Service Warnings:
    • Allow panel module and AC/DC power supply to cool before replacement work.
    • Exercise care near the display area to prevent damage.
    • Avoid touching the panel module with bare hands; use clean soft gloves.
  • Cleaning:
    • LCD Screen: Turn off and unplug the TV. Use a soft cloth moistened with warm water, then dry. Mild detergent can be used for stubborn marks. Avoid sharp objects, harsh, or abrasive cleaners.
    • Cabinet: Use a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Avoid acid/alkaline detergents, alcoholic detergents, abrasive cleaners, powder soaps, OA cleaners, car wax, or glass cleaners.
  • Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices:
    • Drain static charge from your body by touching an earth ground or wearing a discharging wrist strap before handling semiconductor components.
    • Place electrical assemblies with ES devices on a conductive surface (e.g., aluminum foil) after removal.
  • Lead-Free Solder (PbF): This product uses lead-free solder, and lead-free solder must be used for all servicing and repairs.
  • Component Replacement: Use only recommended or structurally identical components to ensure safety and reliability. Pay attention to parts marked with a triangle in parts lists and circuit diagrams.
  • Wiring and Material Restoration: Restore all internal leads, clamps, and insulated materials to their original conditions after servicing to prevent electric shock or fire.
  • Safety Check: After servicing, ensure all parts are restored, check for damage, and measure insulated impedance (must be >4M ohm) to prevent electric shock or fire.
  • Service Mode: Access the service mode by pressing "Input" on the remote and entering "3138" for advanced diagnostics and software updates.
  • Software Updates: Software can be updated via a USB stick. Copy files to the root directory, insert the USB with AC power disconnected, then power on, enter service mode, and select "Software Update (USB)." Do not turn off the TV during an update.
  • Troubleshooting Flowcharts: Detailed flowcharts are provided for common issues like "No power (Dead Set)," "Can't power on (Power LED is Red)," "No picture (Power LED blue)," "No backlight," "Can't receive channels," "Remote Controller doesn't work," "Solarized Picture," "Image Retention," "Light Leakage," and "Multiple Vertical Bars." These flowcharts guide technicians through diagnostic steps and suggest part replacements (e.g., Main Board, Power Supply, Key Board, IR Board, Panel).
  • Part Numbers: The manual lists primary part numbers for the Main Board, Power Supply (integrated on Main Board), Remote Receiver Board, Keypad Board, Speaker, Remote Control, Power Cord, and Legs. It notes that the panel assembly is generally not replaced in the field due to cost.
  • Non-Warranty Panel Issues: Provides visual examples of physical panel damage (e.g., Front Polarizer Scratched) that are not covered under warranty if occurring after unboxing.
