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.

GRUNDIG - 50PXW130_42PXW110_42PW110_ FACTORY SETTINGS _SOFTWARE UPDATE

GRUNDIG - 50PXW130_42PXW110_42PW110_ FACTORY SETTINGS _SOFTWARE UPDATE






     A plasma screen is made up of around 1.2 million colour pixels.  Within the industrial standard tolerance, a very small number of pixels (0.001%) can be defective. This is not regarded as a device defect within the warranty.
     The plasma screen functions with inert gases and air pressure.  At 2000 m above sea-level or higher, the picture can become unstable and the picture quality is reduced. However, when the device is returned to below 2000 m above sea level, this effect disappears and the device functions perfectly.

OSD DISPLAY DURATION
  • It is very helpful for servicing to set the display duration to "off". Then the menus will not be removed automatically.
RESET
  • Switch off the set (mains switch) of there is a malfunction or if the set hung-up - wait 30 seconds (until all electrolytic capacitors are discharged).
  • Switch on the set
FACTORY SETTINGS
  • Select "Reset to Factory Defaults" of the "Set Up" menu. All settings will be resetted. Channels are not deleted.
STICKING EFFECTS
  • Once these sticking effects occur, normally they can not be reversed.  An operation with a white pattern for a few days can reduce the sticking effect.
SOFTWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE

Needed is:
  • Update Program: "FlashUpgrader.exe" (for Windows 98 and Windows ME) odr "FlashUpgraderNT.exe" (for Windows NT4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP), will be delivered as .zip file. Update under Windows 95 is not possible.
  • Null-Modem Cable: Serial data cable (RS232) with a 9 pin socket on both sides. Please note: You need a cable with crossed wires - New Software: Will be delivered as .zip file.
UPDATE
  • Expand the update progam and the new software into a new folder.
  • Switch off the set using the mains switch.
  • Start the corresponding update program.
  • Select via "Choose..." the file "*.inf" of the firmware files in the new folder.
  • Set "Connection" to "Serial" and select the used COM port and the baud rate (115200 is recommended).
  • All other values has to be in default position.
  • Select "Flash" to activate the program for the update.
  • Switch on the set using the mains switch. The update procedure starts automatically, the progress of the update can be watched on the bar graph. Depending on the used baud rate, the download will take between 3 to 6 minutes.
     When the update is finished a message on the PC will indicate the success. The set is now in stand by mode and can be started using the remote control.

     Only operating software authorized by GRUNDIG is allowed. If a failure is caused by an operating software which has been downloaded from not authorized sources, independent of its origin, or by a modified software, this represents an outside interference. An outside interference leads to the expiration of any warranty claims. For this reason, GRUNDIG is obliged to generally refuse any payment due to such infringements. In such cases, the repair costs are at the charge of the retailer or the final customer, even within the period of warranty
