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.

PHILIPS 40HFL5010T LED LCD TV – ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE – APPLICABLE TO ALL HFL XXXX SERIES PHILIPS LCD TVS

LED LCD TV – Philips 40HFL5010T alignment procedure – Applicable to all HFL xxxx series Philips LCD TVs
General Alignment Conditions
Perform all electrical adjustments under the following conditions:
• Power supply voltage: 90 - 264 VAC, 50/ 60
± 3 Hz.
• Connect the set to the mains via an isolation transformer with low internal resistance.
• Allow the set to warm up for approximately 15 minutes.
• Measure voltages and waveforms in relation to correct ground (e.g. measure audio signals in relation to AUDIO_GND).
Caution: It is not allowed to use heat sinks as ground.
• Test probe: Ri > 10 M
W, Ci < 20 pF.
• Use an isolated trimmer/screwdriver to perform alignments.
Hardware Alignments: Not applicable.
Software Alignments
Put the set in SAM mode (see Chapter 5. Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding at previous post here). The SAM menu will now appear on the screen. Select RGB Align and go to one of the sub menus.
The alignments are explained below.
The following items can be aligned:
• White point.
To store the data:
• Press OK on the RC before the cursor is moved to the left.
• Select “Store” and press OK on the RC.
• Switch the set to stand-by mode.
For the next alignments, supply the following test signals via a video generator to the RF input:
• EU/AP-PAL models: a PAL B/G TV-signal with a signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 475.25 MHz
• US/AP-NTSC models: an NTSC M/N TV-signal with a signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 61.25 MHz (channel 3).
• LATAM models: an NTSC M TV-signal with a signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 61.25 MHz (channel 3)
Before alignment, set the picture as follows
White Tone Alignment
• Activate SAM.
• Select “RGB Align.” and choose a color temperature.
• Use a 100% white screen as input signal and set the following values:
– “Red BL Offset” and “Green BL Offset” to “7” (if present).
– All “White point” values initial to “128”
In case you have a colour analyser:
• Measure with a calibrated (phosphor- independent) color analyser (e.g. Minolta CA-210) in the centre of the screen.
Consequently, the measurement needs to be done in a dark environment.
• Adjust the correct x, y coordinates (while holding one of the White point registers R, G or B on max. value) by means of decreasing the value of one or two other white points to the correct x, y coordinates (see Table below). Tolerance: dx:
± 0.003, dy: ± 0.003.
• Repeat this step for the other colour Temperatures that need to be aligned.
• When finished return to the SAM root menu and press STANDBY on the RC to store the aligned values to the NVM.
If you do not have a colour analyser, you can use the default values. This is the next best solution. The default values are average values coming from production (statistics).
Display Adjustment
You can use the default values. The default values are average values coming from production.
• Enter SAM mode.
• Select a colour temperature (e.g. COOL, NORMAL, or WARM).
• Set the RED, GREEN and BLUE default values according to the values in back to div.table below.
• When finished press OK on the RC, then press STORE to store the aligned values to the NVM.
• Restore the initial picture settings after the alignments.
Click on the tables to magnify
This group setting of colour temperature will be applied automatically to the TV / VGA / HDMI / AV / YPbPr sources.
Option Settings
The microprocessor communicates with a large number of I2C ICs in the set. To ensure good communication and to make digital diagnosis possible, the microprocessor has to know which ICs to address. The presence / absence of these MT5580 ICs is made known by the option codes.
After changing the option(s), save them by pressing the OK button on the RC before the cursor is moved to the left, select STORE and press OK on the RC.
 The new option setting is only active after the TV is switched “off” / “stand-by” and “on” again with the mains switch (the NVM is then read again).
Option Code Overview
Enter SAM mode to check the option codes. they could be edited in the NVM
Display Code Overview
Press the following key sequence on a standard RC transmitter: “062598” directly followed by MENU and “xxx”, where “xxx” is a 3 digit decimal value of the panel type: see column “Display Code” in back to div.table above. After resetting the Display Code, restart the set immediately.
Reset of Repaired SSB
A very important issue towards a repaired SSB from a Service repair shop (SSB repair on component level) implies the reset of the NVM on the SSB.
A repaired SSB in Service should get the service Set type “00PF0000000000” and Production code “00000000000000”.
Also the virgin bit is to be set. To set all this, you can use the ComPair tool or use the “NVM editor” and “Dealer options” items in SAM (do not forget to “store”).
After a repaired SSB has been mounted in the set (set repair on board level), the type number (CTN) and production code of the TV has to be set according to the type plate of the set. For this, you can use the NVM editor in SAM. The loading of the CTN and production code can also be done via compare (Model number programming)
In case of a display replacement, reset the “Operation hours display” to “0”, or to the operation hours of the replacement display.
Remark:
- After the NVM has been replaced, go to SAM and scroll to the <Reload MAC address>
- Select the item and press <OK> on the RC
Reset of Repaired SSB
After NVM replacement, reload MAC address via SAM menu. This ensures the correct MAC address to be available in CSM for future repair actions.
Way of working:
• After the NVM has been replaced, go to SAM and scroll to the <Reload MAC address> .
• Select the item and press <OK> on the RC.
[Only applicable to all related models that are “Smart TV level 0”enabled (only YouTube access). For models without internet connection feature, no action is needed.   HDCP keys are located in the NVM. If you are loading NVM with the ComPair tool, there is warning message displayed.]
New NVM EEPROMs are shipped with pre-loaded HDCP keys.
SSB Identification
SSB’s of this chassis are identified by a “715” code on the SSB. [715Axxxx-Nnn-MMM-OOOO]
715 main category, Printed Wiring Board
 Axxxx sub category, sequential coding number
 Nnn Version code
 N Development number
 nn Production number
 MMM Mounting variation code
 OOOO Optional variation code
Make sure when replacing an SSB the SSB identification codes match the replacement panel.
