SECTION 5 - UPDATES AND ADJUSTMENTS
RESOLVING AN 8 BLINK ERROR
It’s possible that a customer may report an 8X blink error code even though 
an 8X blink error isn’t an option in the Self Diagnosis Self Check list. An 8X 
blink error is mainly used during TV software development. To verify that 
there is an actual 8X error, view the TV’s Self Check Diagnosis history list, 
specifically at the bottom of the list WDT (Watch Dog Timer) error codes. 
The 8X error code could be the result of:
 
Software Issue
 
Network Issue
 
Skype Login Issue
 
Incompatible USB Device Plugged Inserted
 
Defective Main Board
Every time 3 errors are registered in the Self Diagnosis Self Check screen 
the TV will shut down and activate an 8X blink pattern on the Standby LED. 
If an error count is indicated, usually as an 103 HOST_WDT error, follow 
these instructions to update the TV.
