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.

Philips 32ME303V - MAGNAVOX 32 inch LCD TV – Firmware update – initialization – SMPS schematic BA3AF0F0102

HOW TO INITIALIZE THE LCD TV
The purpose of initialization is to place the set in a new out of box condition. The customer will be prompted to select a language and program channels after the set has been initialized.
To put the program back at the factory-default, initialize the LCD TV using the following procedure.
NOTE: Disconnect any device from the USB Port before you conduct on this procedure.
1. Turn the power on.
2. Enter the service mode.  To cancel the service mode, press [Power] button on the remote control unit.
3. Press [BACK] button to enter the Control Panel Key Confirmation Menu.
4. Press any button on the control panel.
5. Press [INFO] button to proceed with the self check mode.

Power supply Regulator [SMPS] - Circuit Diagram
Fixed voltage (or Auto voltage selectable) power supply circuit is used in this unit.  If Main Fuse (F602) is blown , check to see that all components in the power supply circuit are not defective before you connect the AC plug to the AC power supply.  Otherwise it may cause some components in the power supply circuit to fail.
For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with same type 2.5A, 250V fuse.
Because a hot chassis ground is present in the power supply circuit, an isolation transformer must be used when repairing.  Also, in order to have the ability to increase the input slowly, when troubleshooting this type of power supply circuit, a variable isolation transformer is required.
The voltage for parts in hot circuit is measured using hot GND as a common terminal.
