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.

Factory Menu – Service mode
a) Press INPUT button, then in turn press “2” “5” “8” “0” to enter the Factory Menu.
b) Press CH+ or CH- to select items, then press OK to enter.
c) Press CH+ or CH- to move the highlight up or down.
d) Press VOL- or VOL+ to adjust the selected item.
e) Press MENU to return to the previous menu.
f) Press EXIT to close the Factory Menu.
g) After closing the Factory menu, you can press SLEEP to enter the Factory Menu directly if power is still on. 
h) In Factory Menu, select “On” for “Aging Mode” to turn on aging mode. Press any button on the unit to exit.
i) “Power on mode” item of “Other setting” has three options: 
On” means power on directly; “Off” means the unit will be in “standby” state when connect the power supply, and needed to press the “Power” button to turn on; “Memory” means the unit will in the last power-off state after power-on.
White Balance adjustment
Preparations
Before white balance adjustment, let the TV work for more than 30 minutes and be in stable status. Use Color Analyzer CA210 BBY channel for alignment. Only align NORMAL color temperature. To ensure both COOL and WARM color temperature to be able to meet the requirements, please make sure bright step color temperature to be △X≤±5,△Y≤±5, dark step color temperature to be △X≤±5,△Y≤±5.
White balance data alignment at four modes
a) Alignment at ATV mode (AV and S-VIDEO is the same)
In TV mode, set Air/Cable to Air. Input test signal with 11 gray steps. From Factory menu select “Color Temp” item and set “Color Mode” to “NORMAL”, fix GAIN GREEN, adjust GAIN RED and GAIN BLUE to make 9th step color coordinate to be (285, 293). Fix OFFSET GREEN, adjust OFFSET RED and OFFSET BLUE to make the third step color coordinate to be (285,293). In this way repeatedly adjust GAIN RED, GAIN BLUE and OFFSET RED, OFFSET BLUE until two level gray step’s color coordinate be (285,293). Then select “MENU” to return to previous menu or select “SAVE TO EEPROM” to save the white balance.
Check if COOL and WARM color temperature meet the requirement. If not, then adjust GAIN RED, GAIN BLUE, OFFSET RED, OFFSET BLUE to make them meet requirements, and then save.
b) Alignment at DTV mode (HDMI is the same)
In TV mode, set Air/Cable to Air. Input test signal with 11 gray steps. From Factory menu select “Color Temp” item and set “Color Mode” to “NORMAL”, fix GAIN GREEN, adjust GAIN RED and GAIN BLUE to make 9th step color coordinate to be (285, 293). Fix OFFSET GREEN, adjust OFFSET RED and OFFSET BLUE to make the third step color coordinate to be (285,293). In this way repeatedly adjust GAIN RED, GAIN BLUE and OFFSET RED, OFFSET BLUE until two level gray step’s color coordinate be (285,293). Then select “MENU” to return to previous menu or select “SAVE TO EEPROM” to save the white balance.
Check if COOL and WARM color temperature meet the requirement. If not, then adjust GAIN RED, GAIN BLUE, OFFSET RED, OFFSET BLUE to make them meet requirements, and then save.
c) Alignment at YPbPr mode
First perform ADC calibration: input 75% color bar plus gray step signal in 480i/60Hz format, (VG848 Timing is 968, PAT is 918), enter Factory Menu select ADC Setting, do ADC AUTO adjustment once.
White balance adjustment: From VG848 equipment input 8 gray steps signal in 1920 x 1080i /60Hz format. Enter Factory Menu select “Color Temp”, first set “Color Mode” to NORMAL, fix GAIN GREEN, adjust GAIN RED and GAIN BLUE to make the 7th color coordinate be (285, 293). Fix OFFSET GREEN, adjust OFFSET RED and OFFSET BLUE to make the second step color coordinate be (285,293). In this way repeatedly adjust GAIN RED, GAIN BLUE and OFFSET RED, OFFSET BLUE until two level gray step color coordinate be (285, 293). Then select “MENU” to return to previous menu or select “SAVE TO EEPROM” to save the white balance.
Check if COOL and WARM color temperature meet the requirement. If not, then adjust GAIN RED, GAIN BLUE, OFFSET RED, OFFSET BLUE to make them meet requirements, and then save.
d) Alignment at VGA mode
First do ADC calibration: input VESA crosshatch signal in 800 x 600 / 60Hz format (VG848 Timing is 854, PAT is 914), check if the picture is displayed wholly. If not, perform AUTO adjustment by making use of VGA Setting sub-menu from SETUP menu (User menu) so that the picture is displayed wholly.  Then enter Factory Menu select ADC Setting, do ADC AUTO adjustment once to calibrate ADC.  White balance adjustment: From VG848 equipment input 8 gray steps signal in 800 x 600 /60Hz
format. Enter Factory Menu select “Color Temp”, first set “Color Mode” to NORMAL, fix GAIN GREEN, adjust GAIN RED and GAIN BLUE to make the 7th color coordinate be (285, 293). Fix OFFSET GREEN, adjust OFFSET RED and OFFSET BLUE to make the second step color coordinate be (285,293). In this way repeatedly adjust GAIN RED, GAIN BLUE and OFFSET RED, OFFSET BLUE until two level gray step color coordinate be (285, 293). Then select “MENU” to return to previous menu or select “SAVE TO EEPROM” to save the white balance.
Check if COOL and WARM color temperature meet the requirement. If not, then adjust GAIN RED, GAIN BLUE, OFFSET RED, OFFSET BLUE to make them meet requirements, and then save.
Schematic - 32 inch Power Board  
Click on the schematics to zoom in
37 inch Power Board
40 inch Power Board
46 inch Power Board
User menu preset
Enter into Factory menu, select and do Other Setting > SHIPMENT item, then the TV will automatically preset the user menu to default. After alignment this User Menu Preset procedure must be done.
SHIPMENT will do the following
1) Clear all program information
2) Clear V-CHIP information
3) Analog value default setting for all sources
4) Power on mode set to Off
5) Active Setup Wizard menu
Note: after the Preset procedure is complete, it must exit the menu, power off at Standby state and then disconnect the power supply.
EEPROM initialization (not be used unless needed)
The method is: Press the IR POWER/KEYPAD POWER to turn on the TV. 
Before showing LOGO press INPUT SOURCE incessantly until the indicator lights red, then in turn press MENU, VOL+, CH+ (the interval between two press is below 2 seconds). 
The indicator light will turn blue, after a while the unit will be in STANDBY, that means RESET EEPROM succeeds. 
If error key order or key number or the interval is over 2 seconds, the unit will keep on the previous setting and perform the order, then EEPROM will not be cleared.
