REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

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.

Service Modes
The Service Mode feature is split into following parts:
 Factory Mode.
 Customer Service Mode (CSM).
Factory mode offer features, which can be used by the Service engineer to repair/align a TV set. Some features are:
 Make alignments (e.g. White Tone).
Display information.
The CSM is a Service Mode that can be enabled by the consumer. The CSM displays diagnosis information, which the customer can forward to the dealer or call centre. The information provided in CSM and the purpose of CSM is to,
Increase the home repair hit rate
Decrease the number of nuisance calls
Solved customers’ problem without home visit
[For the new model range, a new remote control (RC) is used with some renamed buttons. This has an impact on the activation of the Service modes. For instance the old “MENU” button is now called “HOME” (or is indicated by a “house” icon)]
Factory mode:
Purpose
 To perform extended alignments.
How to Activate the Factory mode
To activate the Factory mode, use the following method:
 Press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: from the “Menu/Home” press “1999”, directly followed by the “Back/Return” button. 
Do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence.
After entering the Factory mode, we can see many items displayed, use the UP/DOWN keys to display the next/previous menu items.
How to Exit the Factory mode
 Select EXIT from the menu and press the “OK” button.
Note: When the TV is switched “off” by a power interrupt, or normal switch to “stand-by” while in the factory mode, the TV will show up in “normal operation mode” as soon as the power is supplied again.

Schematic Notes
• All resistor values are in ohms, and the value multiplier is often used to indicate the decimal point location (e.g. 2K2 indicates 2.2 kΩ).
• Resistor values with no multiplier may be indicated with either an “E” or an “R” (e.g. 220E or 220R indicates 220Ω)

• All capacitor values are given in micro-farads (µ = x10-6), nano-farads (n = x10-9), or pico-farads (p = x10-12).
• Capacitor values may also use the value multiplier as the decimal point indication (e.g. 2p2 indicates 2.2 pF).
• An “asterisk” (*) indicates component usage varies.
Customer Service Mode (CSM)
Purpose
The call centre can instruct the customer (by telephone) to enter CSM in order to identify the status of the set. This helps the call centre to diagnose problems and failures in the TV set before making a service call.
The CSM is a read-only mode, therefore, modifications are not possible in this mode.
How to Activate CSM
To activate CSM, press the following key sequence on a standard remote control transmitter: “Menu/Home +456987+Back” (do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence). 
After entering the Customer Service Mode, the following items are displayed. 
Use the UP/DOWN keys to display the next/previous menu items.
Note: Activation of the CSM is only possible if there is no (user) menu on the screen.
How to Navigate
By means of the “CURSOR-DOWN/UP” knob (or the scroll wheel) on the RC-transmitter can be navigated through the menus.
How to Exit CSM
To exit CSM, use one of the following methods.
Press the MENU/HOME button on the remote control transmitter.Press the POWER button on the remote control transmitter.Press the POWER button on the television set.
Software Upgrading
