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 - PTV - 800_805_810_811_815_820_825 - ALIGNMENT PROCEEDINGS.
PART-2
+130VDC - B+ ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment control can be located at the large signal panel in zone area [A-6]; is (R455).  Upon replacement of large signal panel. of if suspect of possible problems with +130VDC arise, check and adjust.

  • Connect the +ve lead of digital voltmeter to +130VDC [TP-4].
  • Connect the -Ve lead to isolated ground.
  • Adjust [R455], so that the voltmeter reades +130VDC.
HIGH-VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
To do this, a High Voltage Probe and digital volt meter is necessary.
INITIAL PTV SETTINGS
  • Turn the TV ON.
  • Confirm that the 130VDC is OK.
  • Select a Non-Aux input for black picture.
  • Turn the TV Off.
  1. Connect the ground lead of voltmeter to chassis Ground.
  2. Connect the High-voltage probe to meter.
  3. Set the digital multimeter to measure DC volts.
  4. Remove one of CRT anode connections from High-Voltage splitter. Make sure that [R943] is turned fully clockwise.
  5. Insert the probe tip into the CRT anode connection of the High-voltage splitter.
  6. Turn the PTV ON.
  7. Adjust [R943], High_Voltage _adjust, on the large signal panel  [zone H2] for 30Kv.
  8. Turn OFF the PTV.
  9. Remove the High-Voltage probe.
  10. Re-install CRT anode connector into the combo block.
  11. Turn the PTV On, and confirm proper operation.
PROGRAMMING FACTORY DEFAULT VALUES
Service Mode Entry and Exit.
  • Using the remote control, enter digits [0-6-2-5-9-6 > Menu].
  • Depressing the Power button on the front panel of the TV, will Exit the Service Mode, and save the current modifications, and turn the chassis OFF.
There are 81 registers within the system.  Some of the data held in these registers should not be altered and others which are factory set and uneque to unit under test.  It is highly recommended that the current values held in these registers be recorded.  This procedure could save a significant amount of time, should a mistake occur causing an undesirable condition to the unit under test.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE MODE
This service mode is used for changing service control register values from their default values to new values.  When entering this service mode, the tuning system will attempt to receive the current register values that are stored in the EEPROM.  If the EEPROM has never been programmed, default data values will be stored.
Depression of the PWR button on the front panel of the TV while in this mode, or, setting register 00 to "00", shall cause the tuning system to write the adjusted values to the EEPROM IC before chassis power is turned OFF.
ADJUSTMENT OF REGISTERS IN SERVICE MODE
When the receiver is operating in the service mode, all normal on-screen displays are suppressed and replaced by special display.  This display has two lines of information at the bottom of the screen.  The first line of text shows the factory part number of the microcomputer.  The next set of characters denotes the version of the software currently operating.  The second line starting from left, has currently tuned channel. Channel 3 is the default when entering the service mode setup as most signal generators output comes at channel 3.  If no signal is available on this channel, pressing the channel Up/Dn button will allow  to select an active channel.

  • The Cursor Left/Right keys are used to select among the channel, register and data held in that register.
  • The Cursor Up/Dn keys allow the data value to selected items to alter.
