CI Module removed keeps coming up on my screen and I can't fix it

Hi,

this sounds like an internal error. Please remove any accessories from the tv prior to power cycling it and then retest the insert action. If still having issues, then you can use a factory reset. Otherwise, you might need to set a home repair appointment to diagnose any possible hardware issues or with recent firmware updates.

Thank you.

replace the psu or its electrolytic capacitors
and the eeprom or nvram chip on the main control board

I found this far-from-definitive answer more of an explanation, than a solution.

Possible Solutions:
~If you removed a card from the PCMCIA slot of your TV, put it back in.
~If you recently changed the Pay TV channels you subscribe to, either added OR removed some, contact your TV channel supplier, it may be a problem on their end.

Have anyone tried to repair this TV? Have anybody removed CI module out of it? If not, there should be some loose contact with this module connections. If you wish to get some details, check this link. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Selecting the view option, either to Mosaic / Timeslide / Flipcard, can be selected by the drop-down list, at the top left of the display window, will make surf easy. You can also do a search, by type in the brand name / model number / IC used, in the search box at the top right of the display window.

Known as a common interface module. Allows you to sign in to scrambled channels. That's th eshort explanation.....

The convertible top is controlled by the Convertible Top Module (CVM II). This module contains the processing, controlling and monitoring electronics for the complete top operation.
The CVM II communicates with the General Module over the K-BUS for operation of the top storage cover and windows. The CVM II is fully diagnosable and contains fault memory for storage of monitored faults. Diagnosis is carried out over the K-BUS with the DIS or the MoDIC.
To put all of that "technical jargon" into plain English, If your convertible top is malfunctioning, you must BEGIN diagnosis by scanning your onboard computer network with the proper equipment.

kindly check with the company who you got the module from..i am sure they will be able to help as they have a working knowledge of the module along with manual.good luck.

Hi

CI stands for common interface, there will be a slot on the side of your tv for a CI Module to be inserted, this allows you to view encrypted channels (such as ESPN) that you have to pay for using servces such as topup tv (uk).

It sounds like you have being trying to watch a encrypted channel without a CI Module inserted, this would most likely be the cause of the error message you are receiving.

Hope this helps

ddc/ci funtion enabled keeps flashing on screen how do i get rid of it

I would recommend popping in your Vista CD, and running a windows repair option. if you're getting a blue screen on boot, it's probably the core integretiy module that's been messed with.First make sure you can boot off of the DVD

If it's not booting beyond the BIOS (a bunch of black screens typically with white text), I might recommend getting a copy of your BIOS software and reflash it. You'd need to find out what BIOS you have first and if it's a prebuilt, you should probbably check the manufacturers website and try and find out.
