Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the C board, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. Also unit be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly. |

| EIGHT Blinks | Problem with the audio (AUDIO), unit goes to standby and blinks the self-diagnosis code. Check IC406 audio amp, PS401 and 402. |
| Intermittent problems | This is a great feature. You can also bring up these fault codes ON-SCREEN to see a list of the problem numbers with the abbreviation of the problem and the number of times this problem has occurred. This is slightly different than entering the service mode. To see the diagnostic screen, Press the following buttons. |
| Display, Channel, 5, Vol Minus, ( Not plus ) then Power | This brings up a screen with a list of the problems and number of times they have occurred. Each of the problem names is abbreviated as, "OCP", "OVP", "V STOP", ETC. We have repeated them in parentheses in the text for the "Blinks" described above so you can correlate between the diagnostic screen and the blink codes. |
| Red light mean | If a Red LED is blinking and the TV is not working properly it means that the TV has detected an issue or problem. Most Red LED blink conditions require service. The meaning of the blink codes differs between TV models. However, the number of blinking times is mostly 2 to 8. If a Red LED is blinking, try the troubleshooting procedure below. If the procedure does not solve the issue and the Red LED is still blinking, check how many times it blinks and then contact support. |
| Orange/Amber light mean | Timer: A solid Orange/Amber light means that a timer has been set and is active on the television. Sleep Timer - the TV will turn off after a set amount of time. On/Off Timer - turns the TV on and off at set times of the day. NOTE: Timers can be set, changed, or turned on/off in the Settings menu of the television. |
| Green light mean | Blinking while TV is turning on: A Green or White light may blink while the TV is powering on. This is normal and will stop once the TV comes on. If the light continues to blink and the TV does not come on or if the TV comes on and then turns off and the process starts over again, unplug the TV for 3 minutes then plug it back in and try again. If the problem continues, the TV will need to be serviced. If a Green or White light blinks followed by a Red blinking light, follow the steps above for the Red blinking light. |
| White light mean | Solid or blinking while the TV is on: A solid Green or White light on the front of the television means that the TV power is on. A Green or White light that blinks when you press a button on the remote control simply shows that the TV is receiving the signal from the remote. Not all televisions have this feature. |
| Lamp Light mean | eplace Lamp (For Projection TV or Projector only): If the Lamp Light is blinking it means that the lamp has burned out and needs to be replaced. |
| No Lights mean | TV is turned off or the TV is not plugged in. On some sets, this may indicate that the Energy Saving Switch on the side of the TV is turned off. If your TV has this switch, it must be turned on for the TV to operate. |
