REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

LG 32LF520D LED TV – SMPS SCHEMATIC, TROUBLESHOOTING, FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE, SERVICE MODE AND MORE

LG 32LF520D LED TV – SMPS schematic, troubleshooting, firmware update procedure, Service mode and more


North/Latin America, Europe/Africa and Asia/Oceania Models
IC Remove/Replacement
Some chassis circuit boards have slotted holes (oblong) through which the IC leads are inserted and then bent flat against the circuit foil. When holes are the slotted type. When working with boards using the familiar round hole, use the standard technique.
Circuit Board Foil Repair
Excessive heat applied to the copper foil of any printed circuit board will weaken the adhesive that bonds the foil to the circuit board causing the foil to separate from or "lift-off" the board. The following guidelines and procedures should be followed whenever this condition is encountered.
Adjustments
(1) The adjustment is according to the order which is designated and which must be followed, according to the plan which can be changed only on agreeing.
(2) Power adjustment: Free Voltage.
(3) Magnetic Field Condition: Nil.
(4) Input signal Unit: Product Specification Standard.
(5) Reserve after operation: Above 5 Minutes (Heat Run)
Temperature : at 25 °C ± 5 °C
Relative humidity : 65 ± 10 %
Input voltage : 100-220 V~, 50/60 Hz
(6) Adjustment equipment
: Color Analyzer(CA-210 or CA-110), Service remote control.
USB DOWNLOAD(*.prg file download)
(1) Make sure USB disk format is FAT32.
(2) Copy "MBOOT_AS_*.prg"(for Mboot updated if need) and "UPDATE_A71_INIT_PAD_*.prg" two files to root of USB disk.
(3) Insert USB disk to USB slot.  (if no need to update Mboot, jump to step 7 directly)
(4) AC OFF > ON
(5) TV set will display like as this photo. It will take around 10 sec. wait for 100%.
(6) Keep USB disk in USB solt.
(7) AC OFF > ON
(8) TV set will display like these.
(9) Wait for display "100%"
(10) AC Off.
(11) Unplug USB disk.
(12) AC On.
(13) Check firmware version : 2.00(for example)
When you finish initialization setting, you can check firmware version on Factory Menu Switch to AV input source, press "Left" key > 7 > 9 > "OK" key to enter Factory Mode.
(14) Select a country : GHANA (for example)
Go to "Ship To" and use "Left", "Right" to select country and press "OK", TV should be turn Off.
(15) After turn on again, Check selected country : GHANA (for example)
Press "Right"> "EXIT"> "OK" to go to Engineering Information menu.
ADC Process
Enter Factory mode.
The screen will show as below, select Source Calibration and pushing enter key.
After pushing the right key, this function will be implement and show OK on screen button side as below.
Only Component is requested calibration.
The timing: 1080i/60Hz,
Manual W/B process using adjusts Remote control.
* Color analyzer( CA210) should be used in the calibrated ch by CS-2000.
* Operate the zero-calibration of the CA-210, then stick sensor to the module when adjusting.
* After enter M Mode by pushing up or down key to select “Cool”, ,
* Press “enter” key to enter the item.
* For manual adjustment, it is also possible by the following sequence.  (1) Set TV in M mode using learning remote controller and then operate heat run longer than 15 minutes. (If not executed this step, the condition for W/B may be different.)
(2) Zero Calibrate the probe of Color Analyzer, then place it on the center of LCD module within 10 cm of the surface (3) Select each items (Red/Green/Blue Gain) using / (CH +/-) key on Remote control.
(4) Adjust R/ G/ B Gain using /(VOL +/-) key on R/C.
(5) Adjust three modes all (Cool / Medium / Warm)
- For G-FIX model
Cool Mode
1) Fix the G gain to 132 (default data) and decrease the others.
2) Adjust B Gain to set y in spec.
3) Adjust R Gain to set x in spec.
Medium / Warm Mode - Fix G gain to 132 (default data) and adjust the others.
(6) When adjustment is completed, exit adjustment mode using EXIT key on Remote control.
CASE Cool
First adjust the coordinate far away from the target value(x, y).
1) x, y > target
i) Decrease the R, B.
2) x, y < target
i) First decrease the B gain,
ii) Decrease the one of the others.
3) x > target, y < target
i) First decrease B, so make y a little more than the target.
ii) Adjust x value by decreasing the R.
4) x < target, y > target
i) First decrease B, so make x a little more than the target.
ii) Adjust x value by decreasing the R.
* After you finish all adjustments unplug the AC cable.
