6X Blink - Backlight Inverter System Failure
If the inverter circuits fails to generate high voltage or one or more of
the backlight fails to light, the television will shut down and display this
diagnostics error.
7X Blink - Temperature Failure
A digital thermometer IC located on the Main Board provides a temperature
reading of the chassis and LCD panel. If the temperature exceeds a pre-
determined point the TV will shut down. If this problem occurs immediately
at turn-on, the temperature sensing IC has failed and replacing the main
board is required. If this occurs after the TV has been running for a while,
check for ventilation issues that could cause the TV to run hotter than
normal.
