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 42PJ150 - PLASMA TV - ADJUSTMENTS - HOW TO ADJUST VA AND VS VOLTAGES AT POWER SUPPLY

LG 42PJ150 - Plasma TV - Adjustments - How to adjust Va and VS voltages at Power Supply

LG 42PJ150 - LG 42PJ150-ZE – Plasma TV - Adjustments - Audio output schematic
North/Latin America - Europe/Africa - Asia/Oceania
(1) The adjustment is according to the order which is designated and which must be followed, according to the plan which can be changed only on agreeing.
(2) If there is no specific designation, the adjustment must be performed in the circumstance of 25 °C ± 5 °C of temperature and 65 % ± 10 % of relative humidity.
(3) The input voltage of the set must keep 100 V ~ 240 V, 50 / 60 Hz.
(4) Input signal Unit: Product Specification Standard.
(5) The set must be operated for about 5 minutes prior to the adjustment.
After turning on RGB Full Window pattern in HEAT-RUN Mode, the receiver must be operated.
Enter into HEAT-RUN MODE
1) Press the ‘POWER ON’ button on R/C for adjustment.
2) Press the ‘ADJ’ button on R/C and enter EZ ADJUST Select “7. Test Pattern” by using Up/Dn (CH +/-) and press ENTER.
Select “White” by using Right / Left (VOL +/-) and press ENTER.
Set heat run should be activated without a signal generator.
Single color patterns (RED / BLUE / GREEN) of HEAT RUN MODE are used to check a plasma panel.
Caution: If you turn on a still screen more than 20 minutes (Especially digital pattern, cross hatch pattern), an after image may be made in the black level part of the screen.
Use ‘power on’ button of a service R/C to power on TV set.
Do not connect any external input cable if there is no any specifics.
Update S/W using Auto Download through the USB
Caution: S/W version of USB file (xxx.epk) must be bigger than one which is downloaded previously.
(1) Insert the USB stick to the USB socket.
(2) A downloaded file in USB stick will be detected automatically.
(3) If S/W version of USB file (xxx.epk) is bigger than one which is downloaded previously, the message, “Copying files from memory”, will appear.
(4) If an update procedure was completed, TV set will be turned off and on automatically.
(5) If TV set is turned on, check an updated version.
* If a downloaded version is bigger than one of which TV set had, TV set can lost channel data. In this case, you have to scan channels again.
After Downloading S/W, Adjust
TOOL OPTION
(1) Push “IN-START” button on a service R/C.
(2) Select “Tool Option 1” and Push “OK” button.
(3) Put the number of a below table in order of a suffix of the “Tool Option(X)”.  (Each model has a different number.)
POWER Supply Unit PCB Ass’y Va/Vs Voltage Adjustment
(Both Vs and Va voltage adjustment are necessary.)
Va/Vs Adjustment Procedure
(1) Connect positive(+) terminal of DMM to Vs/Va pin, connect negative(-) terminal to GND.
(2) Turning ‘Vs/Va Adjust’ and adjust Vs/Va voltages to a value which is written on a right/top label of a module.  (deviation ; ±0.5V)
[Caution]
Each Power Supply Unit PCB assembly must be checked by check JIG set. (Because power PCB Ass’y damages to PDP Module, especially be careful)
Set up “RF mode(noise)” before a voltage adjustment.
Test equipment: DMM 1EA
PCMCIA CARD Check
You must adjust DTV 29 Channel and insert PCMCIA CARD to socket.
