PFA image files. It includes separation instructions..... thx

Self DiagnosticsThe V18 Chassis features Self Diagnostics to aid in troubleshooting problems that may cause the set toautomatically turn off or "shut down." The "Timer/Power ON LED" provides an indication of the sets operation,and the possible cause of a malfunction.1. Initial Control Circuitry CheckImmediately after the TV is connected to an AC power source:• The LED flashes three times ... indicating the Microprocessor has initialized and is functioningproperly.• If the LED does not flash ... the Microprocessor is NOT functioning.2. Error Code Operational CheckTo activate the Error Code Mode, while the set is OFF, press the front panel "INPUT" and "MENU" buttonsat the same time and hold for 5 seconds. The LED will flash denoting a two digit Error Code.Note: The Front Panel buttons must be used, NOT those on the Remote Control.• The number of flashes indicates the value of the MSD (tens digit) of the Error Code.• The flashing then pauses for approximately 1/2 second.• The LED then flashes indicating the value of the LSD (ones digit) of the Error Code.• The Error Code is repeated a total of 5 times.Example: For Error Code is "24", the LED will flash 2 times, pause, and then flash 4 times.3. Error CodesThe Error Code designations indicating a malfunction, or no malfunction, are listed below:"12" ... indicates no error has occurred."21" ... X-Ray Protect circuit."22" ... Short Protect circuit."23" ... Horizontal Deflection failure."24" ... Vertical Deflection failure.

What you need to do to test the chips is check the fuse for each of them. Fa 4 and fa5 I believe. If the fuses are open the chips are shorted or drawing excessive current.
If you had been viewing lines on your screen for awhile this is the next level of that problem.
If the fuses are open ,your getting a code flashing on your TV and it's not turning on.

Those chips have to both be replaced even if your just at the lines through the picture stage of the problem.
High skill level required or lots of guts and even more patience.

Is your power button stuck?

If fuse should burn out, there should be any reason. Without find it, and get it repaired, if you put an other fuse, it might make things worse. It will be best to contact any service technician. Gopakumar Gopalan Google

Press both the input and menu buttons front of tv for 5 seconds.

If its the outer protective screen that u need I have one. I didn't like the glare it provided me with so I took it off. Email me remarkable14u at yahoo dot com.

Hi, Please replace main signal board,go to ebay and seach for TEXAS TV PARTS,or texasgreatdeals4you,for tv boards,lcd screens,plasma screens and more.

please make this test and fix it. God bless you You simply need a screwdriver (Phillips-head) and then follow this guide:

• Reset component settings. Usually, the problems you encounter with a projection TV may be resolved through the resetting to its factory settings. If you experience inaccuracies in the color, reset the television's PerfectTint/PerfectColor capabilities. Simply press the Menu tab and then highlight "Perfect Color" using your right key arrow. After this, press "Enter" and then "Reset" in order to reset to factory settings. If you have audio / video problems (VCR or DVD player), simply press "Menu" and highlight the "Reset" option.

• Reset television controls. In case you cannot fix your TV via its component settings, there are other ways of resetting. Just select "Menu", key in "1, 2, 3", and then press "Enter." In doing this, the TV's manufacturer's specifications will all be restored. If your TV's power system does not function, you should perform a complete system reset. You can do this by clicking on Reset System button located at the TV's control panel. Your television will be turned off and then a green light (LED) will quickly flash for approximately one minute. Once the light has stopped flashing, your TV should immediately turn on.
• Use your remote control. The first step is to inspect the batteries of the remote control and see if they are functioning. If its power button starts to blink several times once you turned it on, then the batteries need to be replaced. See to it that your remote control is used within about 20 feet from the television. Make sure also that nothing blocks the space between the remote control and the receiver.
• Check the fan. Once the television is turned off, it is just normal for its fan to become louder. A projection TV actually depends on its lamp, which requires cooling so that it will not prematurely burn out. If the room where your TV is placed is very hot, the fan would also continue to run.

Replace projection lamp. To properly do this, make sure that the lamp's bulb has cooled down and the TV is unplugged. Carefully remove the cover of the lamp's compartment using your screwdriver (Phillips-head). Unscrew the sealed part of the lamp that can be found at the television's rear part. Take away the old lamp cartridge and then insert a new one. Seal the lamp with screws, replace its cover and then screw tightly.

Nedd to replase the ICE units

There should be an aspect ratio button or picture size button on your remote. If this doesn't help, then change the settings aspect settings on your cable/satelite box.

use the RGB (RedGreenBlue) video connections on the back of the tv instead of the single yellow video, or coax cable connection

fault of new owner not testing it before purchase.

First to be sure, unplug the set from power and then plug back--this clears the error buffer. Repeat the self check: PRESS AND HOLD "device"(input) and "menu" buttons on front of tv for at least 5 seconds and then release both together. Watch for power light to blink in a sequence: 1 blink-then 2 blinks-------no error 2 blink-then 1 blink-------X-ray protection 2 blink-then 2 blink-------SHORT PROTECTION******* 2 blink-then 3 blink---------deflection circuit problem 2 blink-then 4 blink---------vertical circuit problem ******2, then 2 is most common---usually means one of the fuses that protect the Convergence IC or IC's is blown---set will detect no voltage to convergence IC and shut down. SET WILL REPEAT BLINK ERROR CODE UP TO 5 TIMES AND THEN TO GET IT TO REPEAT MORE YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG SET AND TRY TO TURN ON AGAIN. As you can see 2,4 is vertical problem----might want to remove speaker grill, inspection plate behind it and look up front--vertical is on middle board at right front as seen from front of set.Look for ANY tiny drops of clear liquid which damages parts and is toxic-----glycol is what I would look for first.

If you unplugged the set you will get the 1,2 no error found, the 2,2 is short protection, I hope you had that before the chips were replaced, it is one or both of the pico fuses bad that protect those chips.see photo of board, locations are 9FAo4 and o5 on the middle board where the chips are but further back. they are both five amp pico fuses.

How did you get at the chips? Which lights are you referring to?

You have two of these or one set with different problems, If you got this error the set will of course not come on and stay on.This like some error codes is general in nature---set produces over 20,000 volts to fire the three picture tubes, hence high voltage.If the High voltage goes above a certain point the latch or shutdown circuit detects this and shuts the set down to prevent X-Ray radiation which happens if the picture tubes receive excessive High voltage--straightforward and needed, locating the part is almost certainly a shop repair.I would on this model suggest removing power from the set which clears the errors detected and stored and then power up and try to turn set on again---when it fails check for the error code with the self check again

look first in the captions area for TEXT---if its on there will be a blank box in the middle of the screen but usually it will be black--look to see if TEXT is engaged.
