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.

HOW TO ENTER THE SERVICE MODE – TROUBLESHOOTING - VESTEL 17MB97 IDTV

How to enter the service mode – troubleshooting - VESTEL 17MB97 IDTV

The MxL661 is a highly integrated low-power silicon tuner IC that targets all global and digital cable standards.  Broadband input filtering and channel filtering have been completely integrated on-chip. This integration enables a compact design resulting in small footprint, low Bill-Of-Material (BOM) cost, and low-power consumption.
Tuning range from 44MHz to 1002MHz
• Programmable channel bandwidths of 6, 7, and 8MHz
• Integrated channel filtering
• Low power consumption with 3.3V and 1.8V dual-supply operation - 351 mW (digital terrestrial)
• On-chip voltage regulator enables single supply 3.3V operation
• Programmable IF frequency and IF spectrum inversion
• Programmable RF to IF delay for ATV scrambling systems that relies on the H-Sync method
• Optioanl balun-less application note for cost-sensitive applications
• Reference clock output available for re-use by demodulators and additional tuners in multi-channel applications
• Input power reporting
• Open-drain General Purpose Output GPO available for controlling off-chip circuitry
• I2C compatible digital control interface
• RoHS compliance.
Troubleshooting
No Backlight Problem
Problem: If TV is working, led is normal and there is no picture and backlight on the panel.
Possible causes: Backlight pin, dimming pin, backlight supply, stby on/off pin
BACKLIGHT_ON/OFF pin should be high when the backlight is ON. Collector pin of Q27 must be low when the backlight is OFF. If it is a problem, please check Q27 and the panel cables. Also it can be tested in TP87 in main board.
Dimming pin should be high or square wave in open position. If it is low, check S248 for Mstar side and panel or power cables, connectors.
Backlight power supply should be in panel specs. check Q43, also it can be checked TP65.
STBY_ON/OFF should be low for TV on condition, check Q36’s collector.
CI Module Problem
Problem: CI is not working when CI module inserted.
Possible causes: Supply, suply control pin, detects pins, mechanical positions of pins.
CI supply should be 5V when CI module inserted. If it is not 5V please check CI_PWR_CTRL, this pin should be low.
Staying in Stand-by Mode
Problem: Staying in stand-by mode, no other operation.
This problem indicates a short on Vcc voltages. Protect pin should be logic high while normal operation. When there is a short circuit protect pin will be logic low. If you detect logic low on protect pin, unplug the TV set and control voltage points with a multimeter to find the shorted voltage to ground.
IR Problem
Problem: LED or IR not working
Check LED card supply on MB97 chassis.
USB Problems
Problem: USB is not working or no USB Detection.
Check USB Supply, It should be nearly 5V. Also USB Enable should be logic high.
No Sound Problem
Problem: No audio at main TV speaker outputs.
Check supply voltages of 12V_VCC, VDD_AUDIO and 3V3_AMP with a voltage-meter. There may be a problem in headphone connector or headphone detect circuit (when headphone is connected, speakers are automatically muted). Measure voltage at HP_DETECT pin, it should be 3.3v.
Standby On/Off Problem
Problem: Device can not boot, TV hangs in standby mode.
There may be a problem about power supply. Check main supplies with a voltage-meter. Also there may be a problem about SW. Try to update TV with latest SW. Additionally it is good to check SW printouts via Teraterm. These printouts may give a clue about the problem. You can use Scart-1 for terraterm connection.
No Signal Problem
Problem: No signal in DVB-T/T2/C mode. Check tuner supply voltage; 3V3_TUNER and VDD_1V8. Check tuner options are correctly set in Service
menu. Check AGC voltage at IF_AGC pin of tuner.
Problem: No signal or Low signal in DVB-S/S2 mode.
Check signal cables and LNB voltage, if there is no problem, check RS6000 supply voltages; 3V3_SAT_VDDA1, 3V3_SAT_VDDA, 3V3_SAT_VDD and 3V3_SAT_VCC.  If the above measurements are OK, then measure the voltage from the PIN1 of U90.  If the PIN1 voltage is equal to 0V, please check i2c waveforms and software. If the PIN1 voltage is lower than 1V(e.g: 0.8Vor 0.3V), change the U90 with a new part.
SERVICE MENU SETTINGS
In order to reach service menu, first Press “MENU” button, then write “4725” by using remote controller.  You can see the service menu main screen below. You can check SW releases by using this menu. In addition, you can make changes on video, audio etc. by using video settings, audio settings titles.
MAIN AMPLIFIER (U62)(6-8-10 W option)
AD82587D is a digital audio amplifier capable of driving a pair of 8 ohm, 20W or a single 4ohm, 40W speaker, both which operate with play music at a 24V supply without external heat-sink or fan requirement.  Using I2C digital control interface, the user can control AD82587D’s input format selection, mute and volume control functions. AD82587D has many built-in protection circuits to safeguard AD82587D from connection errors.
The AD52010 is a 3.0W stereo, filter-less class-D audio amplifier. Operating with 5.0V loudspeaker driver supply, it can deliver 3.0W output power into 4 ohm loudspeaker within 10% THD+N or 2.6W at 1% THD+N.  The AD52010 is a stereo audio amplifier with high efficiency and suitable for the notebook computer, and
portable multimedia device.
The AD22657B is a 2-Vrms cap-less stereo line driver. The device is ideal for single supply electronics. Capless design can eliminate output dc-blocking capacitors for better low frequency response and save cost. The AD22657B is capable of delivering 2-Vrms output into a 10k ohm load with 3.3V supply. The gain settings can be set by users from 1V/V to 10V/V externally. The AD22657B has under voltage protection to prevent POP noise. Build-in shutdown control and de-pop control sequence also help AD22657B to be a pop-less device.
The AD22657B is available in a 10-pin MSOP package.
POWER STAGE
Power socket is used for taking voltages which are 12V_stby and 24V (VDD_Audio for 10W option). These voltages are produced in power card. Also socket is used for giving dimming, backlight and stand-by signals with power card
