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.

  5. Press ON/OFF (or Power for RCU100), repeatedly until the device turns OFF.  Because, there are so many codes, you may have to press the ON/OFF button up to a 100 times, at a rate of once per second, if your device's code is towards the end of the preprogrammed list.
  6. When your device shuts OFF, press and release "Enter" button.

TO RESET THE REMOTE CONTROL

     If remote control stops responding or locks up, folow these steps to reset the remote control. 
Remove the batteries, and press number [1] on the keypad for 2 minutes.  Reinstall the batteries and reprogram the remote control for each of your devices.

     A few RCA, GE and Proscan devices do not need to be programmed.  With these brands, the device button will usually turn the units ON and the ON/OFF button will only turn them OFF.

     Scientific Atlanta cable boxes can be programmed by code search method using the 'Channel UP" button rather than ON/OFF.  The device must be turn ON prior to begining code search.  Once the device turns OFF, press and release "Enter" button, not the On/Off button.

     Jerrold or General Instruments cable boxes can be programmed using the Code Search method.  In some cases, these devices will change channels during code search, but continue until the unit Turns OFF.  Them press and release "Enter" button.  Some Zenith and OAK cable boxes require pressing "Channel Down" rather than "Enter" after the code entry.
