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.

PHILIPS SURESIGNS VM -PATIENT MONITORS – ERROR CODES – CAUSES OF ERRORS – SOLUTION FOR ERRORS

Philips SureSigns VM -Patient Monitors – Error codes – causes of errors – Solution for errors


Philips SureSigns VM - (Medical Equipment)
Error Codes
When the monitor detects an error condition (depending on the type of error) an error message appears on the screen or an error code is written to the Error Log. 
Error codes can be either:
If an error occurs during monitoring, an audible alarm also sounds. 
Press the Audio Alarm Control button to end the audible alarm.
Warning Codes
A warning code is typically an indication that an event in the monitor bears attention or intervention and appears in the monitor’s messages panel.
Warning codes can be physiological or technical alarms. 
A physiological alarm indicates that the monitor has sensed an unsafe condition such as Desat or a measurement that has exceeded the alarm settings. 
A technical alarm indicates that the monitor has sensed a malfunction in the operation of the monitor like an uncalibrated CO2 module or NBP air leak.
Service Codes
A service code is an indication that the monitor has detected an error in operation and service might be required. 
A service code error is a hexadecimal number that indicates the nature of the error.
