The lightbox removal procedure for 48” V23 mod- els is shown in Figure
1.Remove the Back Board by removing 7 screws (a), 2 screws (b) and 8 screws (c).
2.Remove the Back Cover by removing 8 screws (d).
3Remove 4 screws (e) to remove the Board Slide.
4.Remove 8 screws (f) to remove the Board Shelves.
5.Remove screw (g) holding the chassis.
6.Remove 4 screws (h) securing the Light Box Assembly.
7.Be certain that all cables and connectors between the Light Box Assembly and exter- nal items are disconnected (e.g. speaker plugs, etc.), including the USB and IEE1394 connectors from the Card Reader to the DM.
8.Slide the Light Box Assembly from the cabinet.
The procedure is similar for all models. The 48” ver- sions do not require the removal of the black plastic Back Cover. Refer to the Service Manual for spe- cific disassembly instructions on all models.
NOTE: When V19, V21 and V23 models are first plugged in, the front panel LED will flash for about 1 minute indicating the “boot time” required before the Power On command will be recognized. In addition, V23 models have a “Energy Mode,” If set to Low, the 1 minute boot time does not start until after the Power on command is given. If the lightbox is being serviced without the front panel, no indication of these requirements will be present.
Although not required, for the reasons noted, it is usually better to have the front panel connected when servicing the lightbox. If this is not possible, the following power up sequence should be used:
1)Apply AC power.
2)Press the remote Power button once.
3)Wait 90 seconds.
4)If no response, press the Power button again.
5)Wait 90 seconds.
