SPECIAL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS WHEN REPLACING THE LCD PANEL ASSEMBLY

Use the following precautionary guidelines when handling the LCD Panel Assembly to avoid material degradation or screen coating
degradation, and ensure that dust, dirt, or fingerprints are not left between the glass and the LCD Panel Assembly.
1. After removing the boards and connectors, note where the frame is on the panel. (Figure 1)
2. Lift the LCD Panel Assembly by holding the top and bottom of the panel approximately 200mm from the edge with
your palms on the back of the panel. (Figure 2)
CAUTION: Lifting or holding the panel at the corners may damage the panel.
3. Use the same method when taking the replacement panel out of the carton. (Figure 3)

Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
CAUTION: DO NOT lift the LCD Panel by holding the short side of the panel or by placing your palms on the front glass (Figures 4 & 5)

Figure 4 Figure 5
XBR-65HX925 5
SAFETY-RELATED WARNINGS
USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE LCD PANEL

When repairing the LCD panel, be sure you are grounded by using a wrist band.
When installing the LCD panel on a wall, the LCD panel must be secured using the 4 mounting holes on the rear cover.
1. Do not press on the panel or frame edge to avoid the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects.
3. Do not leave the module in high temperatures or in areas of high humidity for an extended period of time.
4. Do not expose the LCD panel to direct sunlight.
5. Avoid contact with water. It may cause a short circuit within the module.
6. Disconnect the AC power when replacing the backlight or inverter circuit.
(High voltage occurs at the inverter circuit at 650Vrms.)
7. Always clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth material.
8. Use care when handling the wires or connectors of the inverter circuit. Damaging the wires may cause a short.
9. Protect the panel from ESD to avoid damaging the electronic circuit (C-MOS).
10. During the repair, DO NOT leave the Power On for more than 1 hour while the TV is face down on a cloth.
XBR-65HX925 6
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder
splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or touching high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely
certain that you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out
to the customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
XBR-65HX925 7
LEAKAGE TEST To Exposed Metal

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed Parts on Set
metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed
0.5 mA(500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three
methods.
AC
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA 0.15 µF Voltmeter
(0.75V)
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instructions.
2. A battery-operated AC milliampmeter. The Data Precision 245 digital
multimeter is suitable for this job.
Earth Ground
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so
analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale.
Figure A. Using an AC voltmeter to check AC leakage.
The Simpson’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of
passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital
multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A).
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND

The cover-plate retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is at earth ground. Verify
the AC outlet box retaining screw ground by connecting a 60-to 100-watt trouble-
light (not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and the retaining Trouble Light
screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot side on the line; the lamp should

Self Diagnosis
Supported model SECTION 1 - SAFETY AND FEATURES
SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

The TVs in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the standby LED will automatically begin to flash. The number of
times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the standby LED flash indicator is listed in the Operating
Instruction manual for the user’s reference.
If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal
past problems and how often these problems occur.

Self Diagnosis
Supported model
Critical voltages and circuit operations are monitored by the CPU

on the Main Board. If a fault is detected the Self-Diagnostic function
in the TV will force the TV to shut down by the CPU. The monitored
circuit in which the fault occurred will cause the CPU to flash the
standby LED in groups of repeating sequences. The number of
blinks in these groups identifies which voltage or circuit caused the
protection event.
Not all of the available protect codes are used in every model. For
example, models that are LED backlit do not use the 4-blink balancer Ambient Sensor/ Picture Off / Standby LED Power LED
