Precautions, Notes, and Abbreviation List
EN 6 TPM8.2E LA3.

The third digit in the serial number (example:
AG2B0335000001) indicates the number of the alternative
B.O.M. (Bill Of Materials) that has been used for producing the
specific TV set. In general, it is possible that the same TV
model on the market is produced with e.g. two different types
of displays, coming from two different suppliers. This will then
result in sets which have the same CTN (Commercial Type
Number; e.g. 28PW9515/12) but which have a different B.O.M.
number.
By looking at the third digit o
f the serial nu
mber, one can
identify which B.O.M. is used for the TV set he is working with.
If the third digit of the serial n
u
mber contains the number “1”
(example: AG1B033500001), then the TV set has been
manufactured according to B.O.M. number 1. If the third digit is
a “2” (example: AG2B0335000001), then the set has been
produced according to B.O.M. no. 2. This is important for
ordering the correct spare parts!
For the third digit, the numbers 1...9 and the characters A...Z
can be
used,
so in total: 9 plus 26= 35 different B.O.M.s can be
indicated by the third digit of the serial number.
Identification: The bottom line of a type plate gives a 14-digit
serial number. Digits 1 and 2 refer to
the production centre (e.g.
SN is Lysomice, RJ is Kobierzyce), digit 3 refers to the B.O.M.
code, digit 4 refers to the Service version change code, digits 5
and 6 refer to the production year, and digits 7 and 8 refer to
production week (in example below it is 2010 week 10 / 2010
week 17). The 6 last digits contain the serial number.

3.3.7 Board Level Repair (BLR) or Component Level Repair
(CL
R)
If a board is defective, consult your repair procedure
to decide
if the board has to be exchanged or if it should be repaired on
component level.
If your repair procedure says the board shou
ld be
exchanged
completely, do not solder on the defective board. Otherwise, it
cannot be returned to the O.E.M. supplier for back charging!
3.3.8 Practical Service Precautions
• It makes sense to avoid exposure to electrical shock.
Wh
ile some sources are expected to have a possible
dangerous impact, others of quite high potential are of
limited current and are sometimes held in less regard.
• Always respect vo
ltages. While some may not be
dangerous in themselves, they can cause unexpected
reactions that are best avoided. Before reaching into a
powered TV set, it is best to test the high voltage insulation.
It is easy to do, and is a good service precaution.
