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.

AKIRA CT-21CCS5CPT SERVICE MODE AND ADJUSTMENTS

AKIRA CT-21CCS5CPT SERVICE MODE AND ADJUSTMENTS 


SERVICE MODE
To enter the SERVICE mode

Set the volume to 0. Then press and hold the MUTE button on the remote control, and press the MENU button on the TV to enter the SERVICE mode.

To exit from the SERVICE mode, turn off the TV set by the POWER button on the remote control.
Caution: The user service mode adjustment can be changed only when service personnel
adjust the whole set data during servicing. As the control data have dramatic effects on functions.and performance of the TV, service personnel should not tell user how to enter the SERVICE mode to avoid improper data settings.
White Balance Adjustment
Generally, white balance adjustment is made with professional equipment. It’s not practical to get good white balance only through manual adjustment. For TVs with I2C bus control, change the bus data to adjust white balance
CIRCUIT ADJUSTMENTS
Preparation:
Circuit adjustments should be made only after completion of set-up adjustments. Circuit adjustments can be performed using the adjustable components inside the TV set. For TVs with 2 I C bus control, first change the bus data.
Degaussing
A degaussing coil is built inside the TV set. Each time the TV is powered on, the degaussing coil 
will automatically degauss the TV. If the TV is magnetized by external strong magnetic field, causing color spot on the screen, use a specific degausser to demagnetize the TV in the following ways. Otherwise, color distortion will be shown on the screen.
#Power on the TV set and operate it for at least 15 minutes.
#Receive red full-field pattern.
#Power on the specific degausser and face it to the TV screen.
3Turn on the degausser. Slowly move it around the screen and slowly take it away from the TV
#Repeat the above steps until the TV is degaussed completely. 
Confirmation and Adjustment for Voltage
Caution: +B voltage has close relation to high voltage. To prevent X-ray radiation, set +B voltage to the rated value
#Make sure that the supply voltage is within the range of the rated value.
#Connect a digital voltmeter to the voltage output terminal of the main PCB. Power on the TV and set the brightness and sub-brightness to minimum. Ensure that the voltage from the main PCB reads as follows.
#Regulate voltage adjustment components on the power section until the +B the voltage reaches the rated value.
High Voltage Inspection
Measure voltages of test points on the main PCB with the digital voltmeter. Measure the CRT high voltage with the high-voltage testing equipment and heater voltage with the high-frequency effective voltmeter.
Focus Adjustment
Caution: Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV. Extreme caution should be exercised when working on the TV with the back removed.
#After removing the back cover, look for the FBT on the main PCB. There should be a FCB (FOCUS) on the FBT.
#Power on the TV and preheat it for 15 min.
#Receive a normal TV signal. Rotate knob of the FCB until you get a sharp picture.
Convergence Adjustment
Preparation: Before attempting any convergence adjustment, the TV should be operated for at least 15 minutes.
#Center convergence adjustment.
#Receive dot pattern.
#Adjust the brightness/contrast controls to obtain a sharp picture.
#Adjust two tabs of the 4-pole magnet to change the angle between them and red and blue ertical lines are superimposed each other on the center of the screen.
#Turn both tabs at the same time keeping the angle constant to superimpose red and blue horizontal on the center of the screen.
#Adjust two tabs of the 6-pole magnet to superimpose red/blue line and green line.
#Remember red and blue movement. Repeat steps 2.1.3 2. 1.5 until optimal convergence is obtained.
#Circumference convergence adjustment.
#Loosen the clamp screw holding the deflection yoke assembly and allow it tilting.
#Temporarily put the first wedge between the picture tube and deflection yoke assembly. Move front of the deflection yoke up or down to obtain better convergence in circumference. Push the mounted wedge in to fix the yoke temporarily.
#Put the second wedge into bottom.
#Move front of the deflection yoke to the left or right to obtain better convergence in circumference.
#Fix the deflection yoke position and put the third wedge in either upper space. Fasten the deflection yoke assembly on the picture tube.
#Detach the temporarily mounted wedge and put it in either upper space. Fasten the deflection yoke assembly on the picture tube.
#After fastening the three wedges, recheck overall convergence and ensure to get optimal convergence. Tighten the lamp screw holding the deflection yoke assembly.
Color Purity Adjustment
Preparation:
Before starting this adjustment, adjust the vertical sync, horizontal sync, vertical amplitude and focus.
#Face the TV set north or south.
#Connect the power plug into the wall outlet and turn on the main power switch of the TV set.
#Operate the TV for at least 15 minutes.
#Degauss the TV set using a specific degaussing coil.
#Set the brightness and contrast to maximum.
#Counter clockwise rotate the R /B low brightness potentiometers to the end and rotate the green low brightness potentiometer to center.
#Receive green raster pattern signals.
#Loosen the clamp screw holding the deflection yoke assembly and slide it forward or backward to display a vertical green zone on the screen. Rotate and spread the tabs of the purity magnet around the neck of the CRT until the green zone is located vertically at the center of the screen. •Slowly move the deflection yoke assembly forward or backward until
 a uniform green screen is obtained.
#Tighten the clamp screw of the assembly temporarily. Check purity of the red raster and blue raster until purities of the three rasters meet the requirement.
