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.

SHARP LC20 – LCD TV – PUBLIC MODE – LAMP ERROR DETECTION - BACK LIGHT INVERTER CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Sharp LC20 – LCD TV – Public mode – Lamp error detection - Back Light Inverter Circuit diagram

Lamp error detection
Functional description
This LCD colour television has a function (lamp error detection) to be turned off automatically for safety when the lamp or lamp circuit is abnormal.
If the lamp or lamp circuit is abnormal, or some other errors happen, and the lamp error detection is executed, the followings occur.
1 The main unit of television is turned off 5 seconds after it is turned on. (The power LED on the front side of TV turns from green to red.)
2 If the situation 1 happens 5 times sequentially, television cannot be turned on. (The power LED remains red.)
Check when turning off the lamp error detection
When television is turned off by the lamp error detection mentioned above, it enters the adjustment process with the power LED red. Entering the adjustment process turns off the error detection and turns on TV.  This enables the operation check to detect errors in the lamp or lamp circuit.
Check whether "ERROR NO RESET" on line 4, page 1 of the adjustment process is 1 or more. If it is 1 or more, it indicates the lamp error detection was executed.
Resetting of the lamp error count
After confirming that the lamp or lamp circuit is normal, reset the lamp error count. Select "ERROR NO RESET" on line 4, page 1 of the adjustment process and set the number to 0 using the volume button.
Afterwards, perform the operation check to confirm that the lamp error detection does not function.
