REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

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.

SAMSUNG PLASMA TELEVISIONS - PL42C91HPX/XAP _ PL50C91HX/XAP [F33A N-HD                 CHASSIS] (LILY)
                                                                Part-1

  • Before start troubleshoot, check the various connections first.  
  • Check and see if there is a burned or damaged cable.
  • Check to see if there is disconnected or loose cable connection.
  • Check to see if cables are connected according to connection diagram.
  • Check the Power input to the Main Board.
  • Check the voltage in and out between the SMPS <-->Main board, between SMPS <-->X,Y Main board and between Logic boards.
SYMPTOMS: 
 The LEDs on the front panel do not work when connecting the power cable.  The SMPS relay does not work when connecting the power cable.  The unit appears to be dead.
MAJOR CHECKLIST:
 The SMPS  relay or the LEDs on the front panel does not work when connecting the power cord if the cables are improperly connected or the Main Board or SMPS is not functioning.  In this case check the following.
  1. Check the internal cable connection.
  2. Check the fuses.
  3. Check the output voltage of SMPS. 
  4. Replace the Main Board.
SYMPTOM: 
 The SMPS relay is repeatedly turns ON and OFF.
In general the SMPS relay repeatedly turns ON and OFF by the protection function due to a defect on a board connected to SMPS.
MAJOR CHECKLIST: 
 Disconnect all cables from SMPS and operate the SMPS alone and check if the SMPS go on properly, and each output voltage is correct.
  1. If the symptom continues even when the SMPS is operated alone, it is faulty.  Replace the SMPS.
  2. If the symptom is not observed when operating the SMPS alone, find any defective assemblies by connecting the cables one by one.
  3. NB:  When sepaerating and connecting some cables, such as CN810,CN809,CN808,CN807, of the main SMPS, CN4701 of the X main Board, and CN5707 of the Y main board, a spark might be generated by the electric charge of the high-capacity capacitor.  Therefore, wait some time after disconnecting the Main Power Cord from the unit.
SYMPTOM: 
 Audio is normal,  but No Picture.
MAJOR CHECKLIST:
  • This may happen when the Main Board is functioning, but the X,Y Main Board or T buffer board is not.
  • Check the output voltage of the Main SMPS.
  • This may happen when LDVS cable connecting the Main Board and the Logic Board is disconnected.
SYMPTOM:
  Picture is normal, but there is no sound.
MAJOR CHECKLIST: 
  1. When the speaker connectors are disconnected or damaged.
  2. When the sound processing part of the Main Board is not functioning.
  3. The speaker defect.

MAJOR CHECKLIST: 
  • Check the antenna connection settings.  [Air: NTSC / ATSC, Cable:NTSC].
  • Check the CVBS cable connection.
  • Check the Power Input of the main board.
SYMPTOM:  A blank vertical cell [block] appears on the screen
Fault:  Address buffer defect.  Replace the corresponding upper/lower Buffers [E,F].
