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.
KDL-32EX725/40EX725/55EX725 4
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.
KDL-32EX725/40EX725/55EX725 5
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 F 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.
4. The Simpsons 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

A cold-water pipe is a guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate retaining screw on
most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground.
Trouble Light
If the retaining screw is to be used as your earth ground, verify that it is at ground Ohmmeter
by measuring the resistance between it and a cold-water pipe with an ohmmeter. AC Outlet Box
The reading should be zero ohms.
If a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60-to 100-watt trouble-light (not a
neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and the retaining screw. Try both Cold-water Pipe
slots, if necessary, to locate the hot side on the line; the lamp should light at normal
brilliance if the screw is at ground potential (see Figure B).
Figure B. Checking for earth ground.

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 users 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.
For complete information, refer to Section 4 - Troubleshooting on page 28.

LCD PANEL ASSEMBLY
The LCD Panel Assembly includes the LCD Panel, T-CON Board,
and LED Backlight system.
NOTE: The LD Board is not included with the LCD Panel.
The LCD Panel contains the actual liquid crystals, color filters, and
polarizers. The liquid crystals are manipulated by the applied voltage
to pass a specific amount of light - from the backlight- depending on
the level of voltage applied.
The T-CON performs all the control, timing, charge, and discharge
functions driving the operation of the LCD Panel.
A new LCD Panel assembly from parts will include the following
items.
1. LCD Panel
2. LED Backlighting Components
3. T-CON Board
T-CON BOARD
The T-CON Board communicates between the LCD Panel and the
microprocessor on the Main Board. (NOTE: The T-CON Board is not
available as a replacement part for all models.)

The first step is to notice how long it takes the TV to shut off and
trigger a 7X blink protection mode.
If the TV has an actual excessive temperature condition it will
take a considerable period of time to shut off and indicate a 7X
blink protection mode. This is because it will take time for the TV
components to heat up and for the temperature sensor to detect the
excessive temperature and shut the TV off.

How to Care for Your BRAVIA

Safety is very important. Please read and follow the safety documentation (Safety Booklet)
separately provided.
Unplug the TV and other connected equipment from the
wall outlet before you begin cleaning your TV.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly
moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm
water.
If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the
package.
Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning.
Do not plug in the TV into the wall outlet until the moisture from cleaning has
evaporated.
The TV should also be placed on a stable surface to prevent it from toppling over (see
page 15). If you have young children or pets at home, check regularly to ensure the TV is
securely fastened.
