PT-xxDLX76 series - Dead Set

Symptom TV set is dead, no response to either power on button. No relays click.
Cause: There is no standby voltage to the micro or the micro to the relay path is open.
Troubleshooting Both the TV tuner block and the Light Engine Block are suspect.
1. If the line cord AC plug pins do not measure approx 1.8k ohms or there is no voltage at power supply
CN1003/pins 1 or/and 2 at plug in, replace the power supply in the light engine assembly.
2. If there is no voltage at power supply CN1003/pin 3 when the power button is pressed, replace the TV
tuner block.

Power LED blinks Continuously

Symptom: After powering on, the power LED continues to blink green as though starting up but never does.
Cause: Eventually the TV will shutdown and the LAMP LED will blink 1X (time) and repeat, indicating a lamp
failure.
CN2006
Troubleshooting:
The problem is either the TV tuner Block or the PS Board / Light Engine.
If the spark gap on the ballast board does not light, check for the two necessary voltages into the ballast. If
missing, follow the troubleshooting procedure in the Shutdown, Lamp LED blinks 1X.

TV Shutdown - Power LED blinks 1X

Symptom: After powering on, the TV shuts down then the power LED blinks 1X pauses and repeats.
Cause: Excessive voltage or excessive current (low voltage) detected on the DT+9V, DT+5V, Sw 2.5V, or
Sw 3.3V outputs sensed at the main board.
Troubleshooting:
The problem is either in the PS / Light Engine or TV tuner Blk.
1. At power on, if 9Vdc (normal) is present at CN2704/pin 2 before shutdown, replace the TV tuner block.
2. If there was less than 4V at CN2704/pin 2 or higher than the normal 9Vdc, replace the PS / light engine.
Slide # 14
DLP
PT-xxDLX76

Cause: Fan rotation has not been detected by one or more fans.
Troubleshooting:
The problem is either a defective fan, the TV tuner Blk., or Light Engine.
1. Fan Stopped? Fan 1 CN6010/pin 1 low? Replace the TV tuner blk. Normal ? Replace fan 1.
Fans 2 or 3 CN2008/pin 1 or CN2008/pin 1 voltage low? Replace light engine. Normal? Replace fan.
2. All fans rotate? Measure pin 3 of all the fan connectors (CN2007-8 & CN6010). The fan connector that does
not measure 0Vdc when the fans rotate (at turn on) indicates that fan is bad even though it is rotating.
3. If no fan rotates, and the 12V power supply voltage at CN1003/pin 9 is missing, replace the power board *. If
present, unplug CN2009 and press power on. If fan 1 rotates now, replace the light engine. Still no rotation?
Change the TV block. * If PR1001 is open suspect a short in the light engine or TV block.
Slide # 15
DLP
PT-xxDLX76

Cause: Loss of DT5V source or a load on the DT5V line to the tuner.
Troubleshooting:
The problem is either in the TV tuner Block or PS / Light Engine.
1. If voltage at light engine CN2001/pin 1 is 12Vdc (normal) before shutdown, replace the TV block.
2. If the voltage at power supply CN2001/pin 1 is 0Vdc (abnormal) at power on, unplug CN2001 and measure
power supply CN1201/pin 6 at power on. If this voltage is present, replace the light engine.
3. If CN1201/pin 6 is still 0V, check for an open PR1001 fuse on the power supply board. Fuse Open? Replace
the TV tuner block and the fuse. Fuse OK? Replace the power supply / light engine if the fuse is OK.
Slide # 16
DLP
PT-xxDLX76

Cause: The Main Microprocessor IC6001 is not able to communicate with 3 major video ICs all on the main
board.
Troubleshooting:
The problem is main board.
1. Replace the TV block that contains the main board.

TV Shutdown, Power LED blinks 6 X (times)
Color Wheel & Motor

P/N = LSDL0354
Cause - No Color Wheel Rotation Detected

When color wheel rotation is beyond speed range or stops, the TV will turn off.
Troubleshooting start with the DC voltage measurement in step 1 then use a DVM set to measure AC voltages.
1. if +12Vdc is missing from CN2001/pin 1 (plug to the light engine) recheck it at PS CN1003/pin 6. Replace the
Power supply-Light Eng if missing voltage at both places or the TV tuner block if present only at one place. 2.
Replace the color wheel if there is AC input but no AC output signal - measure the AC voltage input at
CN2000/pins 1-3 (input) and at CN2006/pin 3 (output) . 3. Replace the light engine if input & output voltage are
both OK.
Slide # 18
DLP

Cause: The lamp door switch is open or the lamp door plastic is broken off.
Troubleshooting:
TV Front
The problem is Sw, TV tuner
Block or Light Engine.
1. Unplug the TV from AC. From
the front of the TV make sure the
lamp cover protrusion tab is still
present Reinstall the lamp cover.
2. If CN2003/pin 1 to ground is
not 0 ohms replace the cover
switch (chassis). If CN2002/pin
protrusion
Lamp
31 is not 0 ohms to ground,
replace the light engine. If
Cover Sw
CN2002/pin 31 is 0 ohms replace

TV Shutdown, Power LED blinks 8 X (times)

z Power LED eight blinks (IC6004)
Cause - Light Engine main DMD IC Controller IC detects a bad input condition.
When IC2008 (DMD control IC) does not send (H: ready) to IC6001, IC6001 judges there is something wrong
with IC2008 and IC6001 turns off the TV.
Troubleshooting Check power supply voltages at CN2001/pin 1& CN2009/pin 1. If all voltages are present, replace the Light
Engine Assembly.
If a voltage is missing, unplug the CN2001 connector and measure the plug end pin again (wire from the TV
block). If voltage is now present, replace the light engine. If the voltage is still missing, check fuse PR1001. 0
ohms (OK)? Replace the Pwr Supply Bd. Open? If CN2001/pin 1 to cold chassis gnd. is less than 1.5k ohms,
at the Lit Eng, replace the Light Engine. If the resistance is higher, replace the TV block. [Use the 2k ohm scale]

TV Shutdown, Temp LED blinks continuously

z TEMP LED blinks
Color Wheel Assembly

P/N = LSEP3206A
Cause - TV / Color Wheel Temp = High

When the temperature is too high (64oC.) at the color wheel assembly where it is sensed, the TV will
turn off.
Troubleshooting procedure
1. Remove the CN2009/pin 8 wire from the plug and plug the connector back in (without pin 8).
2. Turn the TV on.
3. If the TV shuts down, the problem is on the Main board. Replace the TV block.
4. If the TV works OK now, replace the color wheel assembly that contains the temp IC.

TV Shutdown, Lamp LED blinks 1 X (time)

z LAMP LED blinks
CN2006
Light Engine Top
DMD Bd.
Cause - No Lamp current Detected

Five seconds after the power button is pressed, the mercury vapor lamp should light. If the Lamp does not
light, CN9504/pin 1 = H is input to Microprocessor IC6001 to shut the TV off.
Troubleshooting / isolation procedure
1. The lamp is bad if the spark gap device on the ballast board lights (5 secs after power on).
2. If the spark gap does not light, measure the DC voltage at CN9504/pin 4 (3V to chassis gnd). and between
CN1301/pin 1 (380V) & pin 4 (H gnd). If the CN1301 voltage is missing, replace the Pwr Supply LE block.
3. If both voltages (CN9504 & CN1301) are correct, the ballast is bad. Replace the ballast / LE block.
4. If CN9504/pin 4 voltage is 4.2 - 5Vdc, check for 0.4Vac voltage at CN2006/pin 3 (light engine).
a) Present? - replace the TV block.
b) Missing? - replace the light engine.
Slide # 23
DLP
PT-xxDLX76
Lamp LED blinks 2-4 X (times), No Shutdown
Cause
The 30% brightness reduction Iris mechanism located in the Light Engine is not working. The electronically
controlled mechanical Iris mechanism works to achieve a high white to black picture contrast ratio.
Troubleshooting
This iris malfunction (2-4 blinks) will not shutdown the TV but will prevent the front panel blue Iris LED from
lighting. The Dynamic Iris can not be turned on from the customer menu [Menu / Picture 2of 2 page / Adv. Adj
/ Dynamic Iris / On]. The iris is spring loaded in the open position so a potential failure will leave the iris open.
If the TV functions otherwise (menu commands and channel changing) work, the serial data path is OK and the
problem is in the Light Engine. Replace the light engine. Prolonged non operation of the iris circuit will not
damage the TV.

No Audio
Symptom: No or distorted Audio. The picture is OK

Cause: Reduced supply voltage or audio process defect.
Troubleshooting: At power on, if the two voltages from the power supply are OK (CN1001/pin 2 = 18V &
CN1003/pin 6 = 12Vdc), replace the TV tuner block. This voltage is OK if the fans come on. If CN1001pin 2
voltage is low or missing, unplug that connector and re-measure the voltage at the power supply board
(CN1001/pin 2 socket) at TV on. If normal, replace the TV block, if still missing/low, replace the power supply
board / light engine.
Slide # 26
DLP
PT-xxDLX76
No Video
Symptom: TV powers on but the screen is white or black with sound.
Cause: A break anywhere in the video path.
Troubleshooting:
The problem can be in either the TV tuner block or light engine.
1. Press the menu button. If any image (menu or volume bar) appears on the screen the
light engine block is OK. Replace the TV tuner block.
2. Check other inputs for video. This can be done even though there is no picture by first
pressing channel button, then pressing the TV/Video button, then selecting the input
number from the list at the right. If there is video present, replace the TV tuner block. If
still no video, the light engine is suspect but input voltages must be confirmed in step 3.
3. If there is voltage at light engine CN2001/pin 1 and CN2009/pin 1, replace the light
engine. If a voltage is missing, replace the TV tuner block if power supply CN10016 is
correct at 12Vdc. 0Vdc? Change the power supply board/light engine.

momentarily at plug-in, turn-on. All 3 fans rotate.
Cause: Serial data or clock instruction is missing into to the light engine micro IC2008.
CN2006
Troubleshooting:
The problem is either the TV tuner Block or the PS Board / Light Engine.
If there is data & clock at the light engine CN2009/pins 8 & 9, replace the light engine assembly. If there is
no data or clock presence at power on, inspect the CN6000 / CN2009 cable and if good, replace the TV
tuner block if no OSD, video, or menu appears.

Symptom - Color loss, dominate color, missing color, color splotches, etc.
Troubleshooting strategy: If the internal pattern is OK, the video problem is before the point of pattern generation.
For example if the DDP pattern is OK, the problem is before in the TV block or the 31 pin cable. If the CW pattern
is OK, the problem is only in the TV block.

Troubleshooting:
PS
CW Index Pattern Source
The problem could be in the TV or Light Engine Blk.
Strategy - A white pattern can be generated at the TV tuner block just before leaving along the 31 pin
cable and another white pattern can be generated in the light engine block. If the symptom is not present
in the generated pattern, the problem is before the point where the good pattern is generated.
Generating the White patterns:
In the following steps you will enter the work service mode and select one of the white patterns.
1. Turn the TV on. 2. Work Mode Entry - Hold the TVs front panel Volume down button and the remotes
RECALL button for 5 seconds until Work Mode appears on the bottom of the TV screen.
3. Factory Service Mode Entry Press the remotes top VCR mode button and then the remotes RECALL
button to enter the Factory Service Mode. Press the top TV mode button and use the arrow down button to
highlight Other on the screen.
4. Press the OK button to enter/select Other. 5. Again use the arrow down button to highlight either the DDP
or CW pattern. 6. Press ASPECT to enter. 7. Press RECALL to return for the other pattern.
Conclusion 1. If the CW white pattern generated is clean without distortion, the problem is in the TV tuner block.
2. If the problem still appears on the DDP white screen, the problem is in the light engine.
3. If the CW white pattern has another problem (different than the original symptom), replace the TV tuner block.
