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.

1) This symptom occurs, when DC protection is detected. Main reasons are like below.
- When Some of AMP FETs dead.
* You can see FET after removing heatsink.
* Notice for Service
Before repair Main Assy, you need to discharge SMPS.
After then, open the connector.
You should try to change both of +/- FET and Driver IC as a pair.
Notice for FET service
- In case of RF6775, Metal case, FET Drain, has electric potential. So be careful when you deal with it.
SPEAKER NO AUDIO
Speaker No Audio
AMP IC
Solution
Please check and replace the component on MAIN board.
 How to troubleshoot (Countermeasure)
1) Check supply voltage of AMP(CN101) & PWM signal
Normal Supply voltage and signal. Check AMP IC.
Poor supply voltage > Check SMPS Assy.
Poor signal > Check PWM IC.
2) Check CSD of FET driver IC (IRS2092 : EAN60778301).
CSD has about 5 V on normal state.
When AMP has problem, CSD is LOW state or keep change LOW to HIGH.
