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.

General Description of Checking Method
Version
Revision
ROM revision number is displayed.-
Error: Not detected.
The revision number defined in the source file of ROM (At the beginning of mass production, the Flash ROM of IC107 is used, but midway it is replaced by the IC108 OTP ROM.IC107 or IC108) is displayed with four digits.Below IC107 are all IC107 or IC108.
ROM Check Sum
Check sum is calculated.
Error: Not detected.
The 8-bit data are added at addresses 0x000F0000 ~ 0x002EFFFF of ROM (IC107) and the result is displayed with 4-digit hexadecimal number. Error is not detected.
 Model Type
Model code is displayed.
Error: Not detected.
The model code read from EEPROM (IC101) is displayed with 2-digit hexadecimal number.
 Region
Region code is displayed.
Error: Not detected.
The region code determined from the model code is displayed.
Peripheral
EEPROM Check
Data write > read, and accord check
Error 03: EEPROM write/read discord
Data 0x9249, 0x2942, 0x4294 are written to addresses 0x00~0xFF of EEPROM (IC101), then read and checked.
Before writing, the data are saved, then after checking, they are written to restore the contents of EEPROM.
Servo
Servo DSP Check
Data write -> read, and accord check
Error 12: Read data discord
Data 0x9249, 0x2942, 0x4294 are written to the address 0x602 of RAM in the Servo DSP (IC302), then read and checked.
DSP Driver Test
Test signal data → DSP Driver
Error: Not detected.
Caution: Do not conduct this test with a mechanical deck connected.
The maximum voltage is applied to the Servo Driver IC (IC401, IC802). If mechanical deck is connected, the motor and optics could be damaged. Disconnect mechanical deck following the output message, then enter specified 4-or 5-digit number from the remote commander, and press the [ENTER]. 
The test is conducted only when the input data accord. Check the output level, then press the [NEXT] to finish the test.
This test is skipped if “All” is selected.
Supply
Caution: Do not conduct this check with a mechanical deck connected.
An access is made to the stream supply and servo control IC (IC302) and external RAM (IC303) using check data.
If mechanical deck is connected, the motor and optics could be damaged. This check is also executed by the “All” menu item.
ARP Register Check
Data write => read, and accord check
Error 08: ARP register write, and read data discord
Data 0x00 to 0xFF are written to the TMAX register (address 0xC6) in ARP (IC302), then they are read and checked.
ARP to RAM Data Bus
Data write => read, and accord check
Error 09: ARP <-> RAM data bus error Data 0x0001 to 0x8000 where one bit each is set to 1 are written to the address 0 of RAM (IC303) connected to the ARP (IC302) through the bus, then they are read and checked.
In case of discord, written bit pattern and read data are displayed. If data where multiple bits are 1 are read, the bits concerned may touch each other. Further, if data where certain bit is always 1 or 0 regardless of written data, the line could be disconnected or shorted.

ARP to RAM Address Bus
Data write => other address read discord check
Error 10: ARP → RAM address bus error
Caution: Address and data display in case of an error is different from the display of other diagnosis (described later).
Before starting the test, all addresses of RAM (IC303) are cleared to 0x0000.
First, 0xA55A is written to the address 0x00000, and the address data are read and checked from addresses 0x00001 to 0x80000 while shifting 1 bit each. Next, the data at that address is cleared, and it is written to the address 0x00001, and read and checked in the same manner. This check is repeated up to the address 0x80000 while shifting the address data by 1 bit each.
If data other than 0 is read at the addresses except written address, an error is given because all addresses were already cleared to 0. In this check, the error display pattern is different from that of other diagnosis; read data, written address, and read address are displayed in this order. However, the message uses same template, and accordingly exchange Address and Data when reading.

ARP RAM Check
Data write → read, and accord check
Error 11: ARP RAM read data discord The program code data stored in ROM are copied to all areas of RAM (IC303) connected to the ARP (IC302) through the bus, then they are read and checked if they accord. If the detail check was selected initially, the data are
written to all areas and read, then the same test is conducted once again with the data where all bits are inverted between 1 and 0. If discord is detected, faulty address, written data, and read data are displayed following the error code 11, and the test is suspended.

AV Decoder
1930 RAM
Data write => read, and accord check
Error 13: AVD RAM read data discord
The program code data stored in ROM (IC107 or IC108) are copied to all areas oo»RAM (IC504, IC505) connected to the AVD (IC503) through the bus, then they are read and checked if they accord. Further, the same test is conducted once again with the data where all bits are inverted between
1 and 0. If discord is detected, faulty address, written data, and read data are displayed following the error code 13, and the test is suspended.

930 SP
ROM => AVD RAM → Video OUT
Error: Not detected.
The data including sub picture streams in ROM (IC107 or IC108) are transferred to the RAM (IC504, IC505) in AVD (IC503), and output as video signals from the AVD (IC503).
They are output from all video terminals (Composite, Y/C).


Video
Color Bar
AVD color bar command write => Video OUT
