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.

SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The units have a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will automatically begin to flash.
The number of times the lamp flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/TIMER lamp flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will flash a number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the lamp will identify the first of the problem areas.
Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occurred if the screen displays a “0”.
STANDBY/TIMER LIGHT FLASH COUNT
+B overcurrent 2 times
+B overvoltage 3 times
V deflection stop 4 times
White balance failure 5 times
Horizontal Deflection Failure 6 times.
[One flash count is not used for self-diagnostic.]
STOPPING THE STANDBY/TIMER FLASH
Turn off the power switch on the TV main unit or unplug the power cord from the outlet to stop the STANDBY/TIMER lamp from flashing.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY
For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes off” that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurrences of failure for confirmation on the screen:
[To Bring Up Screen Test]
In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid succession as shown below:
Screen display => channel [5] => Sound volume [-] => Power ON.  [Note that this differs from entering the service mode (mode volume [+])]
Since the diagnostic results displayed on the screen are not automatically cleared, always check the self-diagnostic screen during repairs. When you have completed the repairs, clear the result display to “0”.
Unless the result display is cleared to “0”, the self-diagnostic function will not be able to detect subsequent faults after completion of the repairs.
Clearing the result display
To clear the result display to “0”, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially as shown below when the diagnostic screen is being displayed.
Channel [8] > 0
Quitting Self-diagnostic screen
To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the remote commander or the main unit.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
+B overcurrent [OCP] => Occurs when an overcurrent on the +B(135) line is detected by Q6610 and Q6609.  If Q6610 and Q6609 go to ON, the voltage to the pin3 of IC001 go to UP.  The unit will automatically turn off.
+B overvoltage [OVP] => Occurs when an overvoltage on the +B(135) line is detected by D6635 and Q6611. If Q6611 go to ON, the voltage to pin6 of IC001 go to UP. The unit will automatically turn off.
Vertical deflection failure => Occurs when an absence of the vertical deflection pulse is detected by Q6819 and R6832. Shut down the power supply.
White balance failure => If the RGB levels do not balance or become low level within 5 seconds.  This error will be detected by IC4301.  TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.
High voltage protector of Horizontal Deflection => Occurs when an overvoltage of horizontal pulse is detected by D6809 and IC6801.  If the voltage of anode D6830, Q6800 and D6825 goes to High, the voltage to pin34 of IC4301 go to UP. The unit will automatically turn off.

"RESET" FUNCTION
There are 2 ways to access to the "RESET" Function
a) By pressing "RESET" button on the Remote Commander.
b) By pressing "MENU" button on the Front Key Input and hold it down for 5 seconds.
Sequential to the resetting operation (either methods being used in No. 2), TV set would shut down once and automatically turn on again. The power-off duration is expected to be about 500msec. An OSD message, "RESET" tentatively will be displayed for 10 sec after IK status gets stable.  As a result, some items will be reset to an initial condition (shipment condition) whereas some other remains at the last selection by user.
