 Get ready before you begin

Get ready the same items as listed in the "Main software version upgrade".

 Preparation

Create the SD card for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade in the same manner as explained in
the "Main software version upgrade".  Copy the binary image file for monitor microprocessor software version
upgrade to the SD card drive.

 How to upgrade the software

During the monitor microprocessor software version upgrade, the progress of upgrading is not shown on the
display screen.  The upgrading process is seen in the blinking of the power LED.
1 Shut off the AC power to the unit (i.e. unplug the AC cord).
2 Insert the SD card for version upgrade (prepared as above) into the service socket.

  Note:  If the SD card isn't inserted properly, the card will go deep inside the unit beyond retrieval.  Take due care

to insert the SD card correctly.

  Note: If the SD card is inserted in a wrong way, the card will go deep inside the unit beyond retrieval.

3 While depressing the SYSTEM RESET button, turn on the AC power (i.e. plug in the AC cord).(The power

supply by the side of a monitor is ON state.)

 ~ After startup of the unit, you may release the SYSTEM RESET button.

4 After startup of the unit, the power LED starts flashing within 10 or so seconds.
5 Wait until the power LED stops flashing, the unit restarts automatically and then the normal startup screen

appears (it will take 2-3 minutes).

6 Shut off the AC power to the unit (unplug the AC cord), and remove the SD card for version upgrade.
7 Now the software version upgrade is complete.

  Note: When you are done with the software version upgrade, start the set, go to the top page of the adjustment

process screen and check the monitor microprocessor software version information.

 Get ready before you start

  * CF (Compact Flash) of 32MB or higher capacity
  * PCMCIA adapter for CF
  * PC with PCMCIA slot running on Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP operating system

 Creating the PC card for version upgrade

Formatting the PC card

1  Insert the PC card into the PC card slot.
2 Open [My Computer] window, choose the relevant drive (e.g. H drive) and right-click it.
3 Select [Format] in the menu.
4 Under the file system, there are [FAT32] and [FAT] options.  Select [FAT], and click [Start].
5 A dialog box requesting your confirmation appears.  Click [OK].

6 Wait until the formatting is over.  Then click [OK].

After this, click [Close].

Creating a new "boot" folder directly under the card root directory

1 Create H:¥boot if the card is in H:¥drive.
2 Click [File], point to [New Creation], and click [Folder].
3 Rename the folder as [boot].

Copying the version upgrade file to the PC card

Using a drag-and-drop action, copy the "aqb5cu.img" (temporarily named) file for version upgrade to the "boot"
folder.

 Removing the PC card

1 Click [Safely removing hardware] in the task bar, select [PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Controller], and click [Stop].
2 Select PC card in [Stop hardware device], and click [OK].
3 After confirming that you can safely remove the hardware, remove the PC card.

Now the PC card for version upgrade is ready.

How to rewrite the software

After rewriting the software, check the version No. in the process mode.

1 With the set still powered on, pull the AC power plug out of the wall outlet to turn it off forcedly.
2  Insert into the set the PC card created in "Creating the PC card for version upgrade" described above.
3 Insert the AC power plug back into the wall outlet.
4 Select the card mode by pressing the menu button.
5 The card microcomputer programs are read from the PC card automatically.

Wait for about 2 minutes until the reading is completed.
"NOW BLOCK NUMBER ERASING" appears on the OSD.
"NOW FLASH WRITING NUMBER" appears.
"VERIFYING" appears.
"UPDATE SUCCEEDED" appears.
If "Card error…" appears, wait a while. To check the process, press the menu button.
Step 2:
After "Card is being read" appears, the PC card thumbnail screen returns.
* If the reading ends in failure, perform the above steps 1 to 5 again after power-off.

6 Disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet to turn off the set forcedly.

Is power cable properly connected to the main unit?

Is F701 normal?

Is F702 normal?

Reconnect the wire harness, FFC, etc. in the set, and repeat 
the check.

Connect the power cable properly, and turn on the power.

Replace F701, and turn on the power.  If the fuse is still blown, 
replace VZ701, D708, Q705 and Q706, and repeat the check.

Replace F702, and turn on the power.  If the fuse is still 
blown, replace D704 and IC701, and repeat the check.

Remove the faulty part or short-circuit, and repeat the check.

Check IC902 and its peripheral 

Is there any faulty part or short-circuit in BU+5V line?

Is BU+5V line (PIN (8) of CN901) normal?

Are MDR (gray) and DVI (white) connectors of the system 
cable properly connected to the Display and the AVC system?

Reconnect properly and turn on the power.

Is the power switch of the Display ON?

Set the power switch of the Display to ON, and turn on the 
power.

In the DC/DC-CONV-UNIT: Is specified voltage available at 
S-Vcc+15V (pins (11) and (12) of P1752), UR+10V (pin (5) of 
P1752) and CPU+10V (pins (7) and 8) of P1781)?

In the DC/DC-CONV-UNIT: Is specified voltage available at 
D+1.8V (pin (6) of P1701), D+3.3V (pins (8) and (9) of 
P1701), D+5V (pin (12) of P1701) and UR+6V (pins (6) and 
(7) of P1702)?

Reconnect the wire harness, FFC, 
etc. in the set, and repeat the check.

Are PS_ON (pin (1) of P1701) and EU_D_POWER (pin (2) of 
P1702) at "H" (3V or higher)?

In the DC/DC-CONV-UNIT: Are REG-IC 
(IC1701/02/03/04/07/08 and IC951) and IC952 normal?

Does the OVP line (pin (11) of 
P1701) voltage fluctuate 
immediately after the power is 
supplied?

In DC/DC-CONV Unit:Is specified impedance available in S-
Vcc+15V, UR+10V, CPU+10V and BS+10V lines?  (Measure 
the resistance between each +B line and GND.)

Check PS_ON or EU_D_POWER line.

Check the circuits in the faulty line.

Check D_POW line (pin (3) of 
P1701).

Is D_POW line (pin (3) of P1701) 
normal? Is the pin (4) of 
IC1701/2/3/4/5 at "Hi" and the pin (5) 
of IC952 at "LOW"?

Replace abnormal IC.
