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.

LG 42PG3000 – PLASMA TV ADJUSTMENTS

LG 42PG3000 – Plasma TV adjustments

These instructions are applied all of the 42” PLASMA TV, PD83A Chassis.
Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Check, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom
(1) Because this is not a hot chassis, it is not necessary to use an isolation transformer. However, the use of isolation transformer will help protect test instrument.
(2) Adjustment must be done in the correct order.
(3) The adjustment must be performed in the circumstance of 25±5°C of temperature and 65±10% of relative humidity if there is no specific designation.
(4) The input voltage of the receiver must keep 100-240V~, 50/60Hz.
(5) The receiver must be operated for about 15 minutes prior to the adjustment.  In case of keeping module is in the circumstance of 0°C, it should be placed in the circumstance of above 15°C for 2 hours.  In case of keeping module is in the circumstance of below -20°C, it should be placed in the circumstance of above 15°C for 2 hours.
After RGB Full white HEAT-RUN Mode, the receiver must be operated prior to adjustment.
Enter into HEAT-RUN MODE
1) Press the POWER ON KEY on R/C for adjustment.
2) OSD display and screen display PATTERN MODE.
* Set is activated HEAT-RUN without signal generator in this mode.
* Single color pattern(RED/BLUE/GREEN) of HEAT-RUN mode uses to check PANEL.
If you turn on a still screen more than 20 minutes, (Especially digital pattern, cross hatch pattern) after image may be occur in the black level part of the screen.
ADC Calibration
Using ‘power on’ button off the control R/C, power on TV
Adjustment of RGB
