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.

HOW TO ENTER SERVICE MODE – ADJUSTMENTS LG CB20T20X AND LG WP32A30

How to enter Service Mode – adjustments LG CB20T20X and LG WP32A30

To enter Service mode, LG CB20T20X - 20 inch CTV press "OK" buttons on both TV set and the Remote control at the same time.
White Balance Adjustment. (LINE SVC-0)
This adjustment should be performed after screen voltage adjustment.
1)Tune the TV set to receive an 100% white pattern.
2) Press OK buttons on TV set and remote controller at the same time to get into SVC mode.
3) Press PSM (RED) button on remote controller. (Standard picture)
4) Press Channel UP/DOWN button for desirous function adjustment.
5) Adjust VOL+ or VOL- button for GG031.
6) Adjust VOL+ or VOL-button in each status of "Rg--"/"Bg--" for X=293 8, Y=295 8 with color analyzer.
7) Press OK button to memorize the adjustment data.

INITIAL DATA
R-Drive => 28
G-Drive => 31
B-Drive => 25
Vertical S Correction Adjustment
Select SC and adjust until top-bottom side pincushion are equal.
Press OK button to memorize the data.

OPTION Adjustment (SVC MODE:OPTION-1, OPTION-2)
When the EEPROM has been replaced, the Option data should be restored as the function of individual system and specification.
1) Press OK buttons on both TV set and Remote Controller at the same time to get into SVC mode.
2) Press the Yellow button several times to find OPTION-1 or OPTION-2.
3) Input the OPTION data referring to Table below with the numeric buttons 0~9.

RF AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Adjustment
Test Point: AGC TP (J05)
Adjust : Remote Control
The RF AGC was aligned at the time of manufacture for optimum performance over a wide range conditions. Readjustment of RF AGC should not be necessary unless unusual local conditions exist, such as ;

1) Channel interference in a CATV system.
2) Picture bending and/or color beats, which are unusually due to excessive RF signal input when the receiver is too close to a transmitting tower or when the receiver is connected to an antenna distribution system where the RF signal has been amplified. In this case, the input signal should be attenuated (with pad or filter) to a satisfactory level.
3) Picture noise caused by "broadcast noise" or weak signal. If the broadcast is "clean" and the RF signal is at least 1mV (60dBu), the picture will be noise free in any area. Adjusting RF AGC to one end of rotation will usually cause a relatively poor signal to noise ratio;
Adjusting to the other end of rotation will usually cause a degradation of over load capabilities resulting in color beats or adjacent channel interference.
Adjustment
1. Connect RF signal (65dB!0.2dB) and turn on the TV.
[Standard adjustment Channel]
- EU 05 Ch. (frf = 175.25MHz) : CK, CL, CB
- EU 41 Ch. (frf = 631.25MHz) : CI
2. Press OK buttons on TV set and Remote Controller at the same time to get into SVC-0 mode.
3. Press Channel UP/DOWN button on the Remote Controller several times to find AGC.
4. Press Volume UP/DOWN button until the AGC Voltage is the same as the Table below.
5. Press OK(Y) button to memorize the data.

Because this is a cold chassis, it is not necessary to use an isolation transformer. However, operate it using an isolation transformer between the power supply line and chassis input will prevent electric shock and protect the test instrument/s.  
PURITY & CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENT
Convergence and Purity has been factory aligned. Do not attempt to tamper with these alignments. However, the effects of adjacent receiver components, or replacement of picture tube or deflection yoke may require the need to readjust purity any convergence.
Purity Adjustment
This procedure DOES NOT apply to bonded yoke and picture tube assemblies.
The instrument should be at room temperature (60 degrees F or above) for six (6) hours and be operating at low beam current (dark background) for approximately 20 to 30 minutes before performing purity adjustments.
Do not remove any trim magnets that may be attached to the bell of the picture tube.

1) Remove the AC power and disconnect the internal degaussing coil.
2. Remove the yoke from the neck of the picture tube.
3. If the yoke has the tape version beam bender, remove it and replace it with a adjustable type beam bender
4. Replace the yoke on the picture tube neck, temporarily remove the three (3) rubber wedges from the bell of the picture tube and then slide the yoke completely forward.
5. Reconnect the internal degaussing coil.
6. Position the beam bender locking rings at the 9 o'clock position and the other three pairs of tabs (2,4 and 6 pole magnets) at the 12 o'clock position.
7. Perform the following steps, in the order given, to prepare the receiver for the purity adjustment procedure.
a. Face the receiver in the "magnetic north" direction.
b. Externally degauss the receiver screen with the television power turned off.
c. Turn the television on for approximately 10 seconds to perform internal degaussing and then turn the TV off.
d. Unplug the internal degaussing coil. This allows the thermistor to cool down while you are performing the purity adjustment. DO NOT MOVE THE RECEIVER FROM ITS "MAGNETIC NORTH" POSITION.
e. Turn the receiver on and obtain a red raster by increasing the red bias control (CW) and decreasing the bias controls for the remaining two colors (CCW)
f. Attach two round magnets on the picture tube screen at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, approximately one (1) inch from the edge of the mask (use double-sided tape)
8. Referring to above, perform the following two steps:
a. Adjust the yoke Z-axis to obtain equal blue circles.
b. Adjust the appropriate beam bender tabs to obtain correct purity (four equal circles).
9. After correct purity is set, tighten the yoke clamp screw and remove the two screen magnets.
10. Remove the AC power and rotate the receiver 180 degrees (facing "magnetic south").
11. Reconnect the internal degaussing coil.
12. Turn the receiver on for 10 seconds (make sure the receiver came on) to perform internal degaussing, and then turn the receiver off.
13. Unplug the internal degaussing coil.
14. Turn on the receiver and check the purity by holding one (1) round magnet at the 3 o'clock and a second round magnet at 9 o'clock position. If purity is not satisfactory, repeat steps 8 through 14.
15. Turn off the receiver and reconnect the internal degaussing coil.
Convergence Adjustment
Caution: This procedure DOES NOT apply to bonded yoke and picture tube assemblies.  Do not use screen magnets during this adjustment procedure. Use of screen magnets will cause an incorrect display.
1. Remove AC power and disconnect the internal degaussing coil.
2. Apply AC Power and set the brightness to the Picture Reset condition. Set the Color control to minimum.
3. Apply 8V to the pin42 of IC501.
4. Adjust the Red, Green and Blue Bias controls to get a dim white line.
5. Rem6. Reconnect the internal degaussing coil and apply AC power.
7. Turn the receiver on for 10 seconds to perform internal degaussing and then turn the receiver off again.
8. Unplug the internal degaussing-coil.
9. Turn on the receiver, connect a signal generator to the VHF antenna terminal and apply a crosshatch signal.
Caution: During the convergence adjustment procedure, be very careful not to disturb the purity adjustment tabs are accidentally move, purity should be confirmed before proceeding with the convergence adjustments.
Note: Make sure the focus is set correctly on this instrument before proceeding with the following adjustment.ove the AC power and 8V from the pin42 of IC501.
10. Converge the red and blue vertical lines to the green vertical line at the center of the screen by performing the following steps (below TABLE).
a. Carefully rotate both tabs of the 4-pole ring magnet simultaneously in opposite directions from the 12 o'clock position to converge the red and blue vertical lines.
b. Carefully rotate both tabs of the 6-pole ring magnet simultaneously in opposite directions form the 12 o'clock position to converge the red and blue (now purple) vertical lines with the green vertical line.
11. Converge the red and blue horizontal with the green line at the center of the screen by performing the following steps. (Below TABLE)
a. Carefully rotate both tabs of the 4-pole ring magnet simultaneously in the same direction (keep the spacing between the two tabs the same) to converge the red and blue horizontal lines.
b. Carefully rotate both tabs of the 6-pole ring magnet simultaneously in same direction (keep the spacing between the two tabs the same) to converge the red and blue (now purple) horizontal lines with the green horizontal line.
c. Secure the tabs previously adjusted by locking them in place with the locking tabs on the beam bender.
12. While watching the 6 o'clock positions on the screen, rock the front of the yoke in a vertical (up/down) direction to converge the red and blue vertical lines. (Fig upper left)
13. Temporarily place a rubber wedge at the 12 o'clock position to hold the vertical position or the yoke.
14. Check the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock areas to confirm that the red and blue horizontal lines are converged.  If the lines are not converged, slightly offset the vertical tilt of the yoke (move the rubber wedge if necessary) to equally balance the convergence error of the horizontal lines at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock and the vertical lines at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock.
15. Place a 1.5 inch piece of glass tape over the rubber foot at the rear of the 12 o'clock wedge.
16. While watching the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock areas of the screen, rock the front of the yoke in the horizontal (left to right) motion to converge the red and blue horizontal lines. (Fig. upper right)
17. Temporarily place a rubber wedge at the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions to hold the horizontal position of the yoke.
18. Check the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock areas to confirm that the red and blue vertical lines are converged. If the lines are not converged, slightly offset the horizontal tilt of the yoke (move the temporary rubber wedges if necessary) to equally balance the convergence error of the horizontal lines at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock and the vertical lines at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock.
19. Using a round magnet confirm purity at the center, right and left sides and corners. See Purity Adjustment Procedure.
20. Reconfirm convergence and apply a 1.5 inch piece of glass tape over the rubber foot at the rear of the 5 o'clock and the 7 o'clock wedges.
