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.

Troubleshooting
How to get to Burn-in mode
This mode displays the test patterns of some single color raster in turn. These signals are from built-in generator of panel. So it can be presumed that maybe the panel has some trouble when the screen of Burn-in mode is abnormal. Using the R-side control buttons with the set turned off (standby) can activate this mode. Press the SUB-POWER( ) button and VOLUME DOWN( ) button at the same time, and hold for more than 5 seconds. (This operation is equal to select service Adjustment Menu No.407 and change data from 0 to 1.)
The set turns on with single color raster and the OSD of [BURN IN: ON].
To escape from this mode, press the SUB-POWER( ) button and button at the same time, and hold for more than 5 seconds. Burn-in mode will be released.
How to check method of the use accumulation time for panel.
Select No.594 of Service Adjustment Menu.
Self-Diagnosis Function
This chassis has 2 modes of self-diagnosis function.
(1) PDP panel check mode: It indicates the one latest record of the PDP panel failure with blinking of the power indication light (LED).
(2) Signal circuit check mode: It indicates the check result on some points of the signal circuit and the history of them with On-Screen Display (OSD).
PDP panel self-diagnosis function
This function is for a PDP panel failure with no picture. To enter to this Self-Diagnosis mode, follow the next steps:
Preparation:
1) The Power Cord should be connected to AC line and the Main Power switch should be turned on.
2) Turn the power off by the SUB-POWER( ) button of the monitor or the remote control.
Procedure:
1) Press the SUB-POWER( ) button and button on the bottom of the monitor at the same time, and keep it for more than 5 seconds after the power turned on.
2) It generates red blinking series of the power indicator light.
3) Any operation would cancel the Self -Diagnosis mode.
4) The next table shows the PDP PWB in which failure most probably would be allocated according to the number of blinks.

Signal circuit self-diagnosis function
This function is for the failure of the signal circuit, for example the phenomenon as below: "Sometimes power turns off abnormally." "Sometimes picture disappears abnormally." To enter to this Self-Diagnosis mode, follow the next steps:
Preparation:
1) The Power Cord should be connected to AC line and the Main Power switch should be turned on.
2) Turn the power off by the SUB-POWER( ) button of the monitor or the remote control.
Procedure:
1) Press the SUB-POWER( ) button and INPUT ( ) button on the side of the monitor at the same time, and keep it for more than 5 seconds after the power turned on.
2) The monitor will be turned on, and it will display On-Screen Display of the Self-check result and the failure history as below.
3) Any operation would cancel the Self -Diagnosis mode.
4) The following table shows the OSD symbols and contents of failure PWB in which failure most probably would be allocated according to the number of blinks.
If you clear history of failure, make FACTORY RESET: enter the factory setting mode; press the SUB-POWER  button and UP button on the side of the monitor at the same time. And keep it for more than 5 seconds after the power turned on.
