Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding (continued)
Contents of SAM
• Hardware Info.
– A. SW Version. Displays the software version of the 
main software (example: Q555X-1.2.3.4 = 
AAAAB_X.Y.W.Z). 
• AAAA= the chassis name.
• B= the SW branch version. This is a sequential 
number (this is no longer the region indication, as 
the software is now multi-region).
• X.Y.W.Z= the software version, where X is the 
main version number (different numbers are not 
compatible with one another) and Y.W.Z is the sub 
version number (a higher number is always 
compatible with a lower number).
– B. STBY PROC Version. Displays the software 
version of the stand-by processor.
• Store - go right. All options and alignments are stored 
when pressing “cursor right” (or the “OK” button) and then 
the “OK”-button.
• Operation hours display. Displays the accumulated total 
of operation hours of the screen itself. In case of a display 
replacement, reset to “0” or to the consumed operation 
hours of the spare display.
• SW Maintenance.
– SW Events. In case of specific software problems, the 
development department can ask for this info.
– HW Events. In case of specific software problems, the 
development department can ask for this info :
- Event 26: refers to a power dip, this is logged after 
the TV set reboots due to a power dip.
- Event 17: refers to the power OK status, sensed even 
before the 3 x retry to generate the error code.
• Test settings. For development purposes only.
• Development file versions. Not useful for Service 
purposes, this information is only used by the development 
department.
• Upload to USB. To upload several settings from the TV to 
an USB stick, which is connected to the SSB. The items are 
“Channel list”, “Personal settings”, “Option codes”, 
“Alignments”, “Identification data” (includes the set type 
and prod code + all 12NC like SSB, display, boards), 
“History list”. The “All” item supports to upload all several
items at once.
First a directory “repair\” has to be created in the root 
of the USB stick.
To upload the settings, select each item separately, press 
“cursor right” (or the “OK” button), confirm with “OK” and 
wait until the message “Done” appears. In case the 
download to the USB stick was not successful, “Failure” will 
be displayed. In this case, check if the USB stick is 
connected properly and if the directory “repair” is present in 
the root of the USB stick. Now the settings are stored onto 
the USB stick and can be used to download into another TV 
or other SSB. Uploading is of course only possible if the 
software is running and preferably a picture is available. 
This method is created to be able to save the customer’s 
TV settings and to store them into another SSB.
• Download from USB. To download several settings from 
the USB stick to the TV, same way of working needs to be 
followed as described in “Upload to USB”. To make sure 
that the download of the channel list from USB to the TV is 
executed properly, it is necessary to restart the TV and 
tune to a valid preset if necessary. The “All” item supports 
to download all several items at once.
–   C. Production Code. Displays the production code 
of the TV, this is the serial number as printed on the 
back of the TV set. Note that if an NVM is replaced or 
is initialized after corruption, this production code has 
to be re-written to NVM.
• Operation Hours. Displays the accumulated total of 
operation hours (not the stand-by hours). Every time the 
TV is switched “on/off”, 0.5 hours is added to this number. 
• Errors (followed by maximum 10 errors). The most recent 
error is displayed at the upper left (for an error explanation 
see section “5.5 Error Codes
”).
• Reset Error Buffer. When “cursor right” (or “OK” button) 
pressed here, followed by the “OK” button, the error buffer 
is reset.
• Alignments. This will activate the “ALIGNMENTS” sub-
menu. See Chapter 6. Alignments
.
• Dealer Options. Extra features for the dealers.
• Options. Extra features for Service. For more info 
regarding option codes, see chapter 6. Alignments
.
Note that if the option code numbers are changed, these 
have to be confirmed with pressing the “OK” button before 
the options are stored, otherwise changes will be lost.
• Initialize NVM. The moment the processor recognizes a 
corrupted NVM, the “initialize NVM” line will be highlighted. 
Now, two things can be done (dependent of the service 
instructions at that moment):
–     Save the content of the NVM for development analysis, 
before initializing. This will give the Service department 
an extra possibility for diagnosis (e.g. when Develop-
ment asks for this). 
–     Initialize the NVM.
Note: When the NVM is corrupted, or replaced, there is a high 
possibility that no picture appears because the display code is 
not correct. So, before initializing the NVM via the SAM, a pic-
ture is necessary and therefore the correct display option has 
to be entered. Refer to Chapter 6. Alignments for details. To 
adapt this option, it’s advised to use a method via a standard 
RC (described below).
Changing the display option via a standard RC: Key in the 
code “062598” directly followed by the “MENU” (or “HOME”) 
button and “XXX” (where XXX is the 3 digit decimal display 
code as mentioned on the below table).
 S5551_0.9.21.0
How to Navigate
•  In SAM, the menu items can be selected with the 
“CURSOR-DOWN/UP/LEFT/RIGHT” knob of the RC 
transmitter.
 Make sure to key in all three digits, also the leading zero’s. If 
the above action is successful, the front LED will go out as an 
indication that the RC sequence was correct. After the display 
option is changed in the NVM, the TV will go to the Stand-by 
mode. If the NVM was corrupted or empty before this action, it 
will be initialized fi rst (loaded with default values). This initial-
izing can take up to 20 seconds.

• NVM editor. For NET TV the set “type number” must 
be entered correctly.Also the production code (serial 
number) can be entered here via the RC-transmitter.
Correct data can be found on the side/rear sticker.
“CURSOR UP/DOWN” key on the RC-transmitter. The 
selected item will be highlighted. When not all menu items
