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.

SONY - ICF-CD2000 ICF- CD2000S FM-AM CD-CLOCK RADIO SERVICE MODE

 SONY - ICF-CD2000 ICF- CD2000S FM-AM CD-CLOCK RADIO SERVICE MODE.


Part-1

LASER DIODE CHECKING METHOD & SERVICE MODE ENTRY METHOD

LASER DIODE CHECKING

Method -1


  1. Open the upper lid.
  2. Push the [S423]
  3. Press [CD >|| ] key.
  4. Check the object lens for confirming normal emission of the laser diode.  If not emitting, there is a trouble in the automatic power control circuit or the Optical pickup.   During normal operation, the laser diode is turned On about 2.4 seconds for focus and searching.


Method -2


  1. Remove the upper panel.
  2. Connect a digital voltmeter between  TP(10P1) and TP(10P2); can located at the right top corner of the PCB. {Main board:  Conductor side}
  3. Press the { CD >|| } key.
  4. Calculate current value by reading of the digital voltmeter.  [The reading of the digital voltmeter (V) / 2,2Ohms + Current value {A}.  Example:  Reading of digital voltmeter of 0.082V:  (0.082/2.2Ohms = 0.037A = 35 mA).  Current value of the specified:  16 to 18 mA.
  5. If the current is more than the range above, there is a trouble in the automatic power control circuit or the Laser Diode in the deterioration.  If less than the range, a trouble exists in the automatic power control circuit or the Optical Pickup.
SERVICE MODE

Step-1
  1. Connect TP447(CD TEST-2) to TP444(GND).  {LCD board:  Component Side}.
  2. Turn On the S423 (CD open Switch).
  3. Insert external power supply.
  4. Connect TP453 (Reset) to the TP444 (GND) to make open. (Reset)
Step -2
  1. Once the service mode is effected, the LCD displays [18] indications each of which is repeatedly displayed.
  2. By pressing [ >>| ] or [ |<< ] key, the optical pickup is movable inwardly or outwardly.  However, it this is activated, tracking servo and sled servo are turned Off.  So it can be turned ON by pressing the 'BAND" key if required.
  3. Without disc, focus search is repeated continuously.
  4. By pressing "Band" key, tracking servo, sled servo and CLV-A (servo in Play) are turned ON.  Then playing begins.  No muting is On in the service mode.
RESETTING OF SERVICE MODE

  • Remove the external power supply.
  • Disconnect TP447 & TP444, and also TP453 & TP444.

TEST MODE

TEST MODE-1

(Test Mode-1 Setting Methods)


  1. Connect TP455 to TP444.
  2. Insert external power supply.
Step - 2 [Operation in Test Mode-1]
  1. The CD auto adjustment is not performed, but LCD test mode is displayed.  Also ESP is placed OFF state and it does not turn ON.
  2. The 'sled' is operating, while the ( >>| ) or ( |<< ) key is pressed.  At this time, the spindle and tracking servos turn Off.
  3. The 'focus' search is performed until the focus becomes OK, if the CD  [CD >|| ] key is pressed.  At this time, the spindle and tracking servos turn Off.  Also when the focus becomes OK, the optical pickup moves almost center of the 12cm disc.  
  4. The spindle and tracking servos turn ON when the (Band) key is pressed.  Also, the 'mute' turns Off if the data is correct.  
Step -3. [Resetting of Test Mode]
  1. Remove the external power supply.
  2. disconnect TP455 & TP444.
TEST MODE - 2

Step - 1 (Test mode-2 setting methods)
  1. Connect TP447 to TP444.
  2. Insert external power supply.
Step -2 (Operation in test mode-2)
  1. The CD auto adjustment is performed.  Also, the ESP can be turned On of Off.  
  2. The 'sled' is operating, while the ( >>| ) or ( |<< ) key is pressed.  At this time the spindle and tracking servos turn OFF.
  3. The focus search is performed until the focus becomes OK, if the [ CD >>| ] key is pressed.  At this time, the spindle and tracking servos turn Off.  Also, when the focus becomes OK, the optical pickup moves at almost center of 12 cm disc.
  4. The spindle tracking servos turn ON, when the (Band) key is pressed.  Also, the 'mute' turns Off if the data is correct.  
  5. The pickup jumps by one track if ( >>| ) or ( |<< ) key is pressed when the spindle and tracking servos turn ON, or it jumps continuously if the key is kept pressed.  Also, if the (Preset) key is pressed, the following operation is performed.
  • Preset-1 => 1 track jump.
  • Preset-2 => 4 track jump.
  • Preset-3 => 16 track jump.
  • Preset-4 => 32 track jump.
  • Preset-5 => 256 track jump.
6.  The pickup jumps to the second music and the test mode is released, if ( CD >|| ) key is pressed when the spindle and tracking servos turn ON.

TEST MODE - 3

Step-1 (Test mode-3 setting methods)
  1. Connect TP448 to TP449.
  2. Insert external power supply.
Step-2 (Operation in the Test mode-3)

  • The same operation as in test mode-2 is performed.  however the LCD test mode is displayed same as in test mode-1.
