The 2012 Echo-P and X10 Plus chipsets have new internal test patterns that you can display without bringing up the

Factory Menu and use to diagnose and isolate picture issues between the Main and T-Con/Logic boards. You can also

use them to diagnose picture defects with customers over the phone. The test patterns vary between chipsets and prod-

uct types. Please see the table towards the bottom of the page.

The test patterns will timeout after about 10 seconds or you can press Exit to go back to the main screen.

These test patterns are available only for the following chipsets:

Echo-P: LED ES7500/7550, ES8000, and PDP E7000 and E8000

X10 Plus: LED ES7100/7150, ES6820, ES6600, ES6500/6550/6580, ES6100/6150, EH5300, PDP E6500, E550

Activate the Test Patterns with the following key combinations:

MUTE+1+4+7+MUTE → Displays Main Board Internal Test pattern

MUTE+3+6+9+MUTE → Displays T-CON/Logic Board Internal Test pattern

Note: These patterns do not work from within Smart Hub. You must exit Smart Hub to a normal TV source.
