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.

ADJUSTMENT PREPARATION
There are 2 ways of adjusting this TV :
> One is with the REMOTE CONTROL UNIT and the other is the conventional method using adjustment parts and components.
> The adjustment using the REMOTE CONTROL UNIT is made on the basis of the initial setting values. The setting values which adjust the screen to the optimum condition can be different from the initial setting values.
> Make sure that connection is correctly made AC to AC power source.
> Turn on the power of the TV and measuring instruments for warming up for at least 30 minutes before starting adjustments.
> If the receive or input signal is not specified, use the most appropriate signal for adjustment.
> Never touch the parts (such as variable resistors, transformers and condensers) not shown in the adjustment items of this service adjustment.

INITIAL SETTING VALUES IN THE SERVICE MODE
Perform fine-tuning based on the "initial values" using the remote control when in the Service mode.
The "initial values" serve only as an indication rough standard and therefore the values with which optimal display can be achieved may be different from the default values. But, don't change the values that are not written in "ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE". They are fixed values.
SELF CHECK FEATURE
This unit comes with the "Self check" feature, which checks the operational state of the circuit and displays/saves it during failure. Diagnosis is performed when power is turned on, and information input to the main microcomputer is monitored at all time. Diagnosis is displayed in 2 ways via screen display and LED flashes. Failure detection is based on input state of I2C bus and the various control lines connected to the main microcomputer.
HOW TO ENTER THE SELF CHECK MODE
Before enters the SELF CHECK MODE, press the [MODE] key to confirm that "TV" position is indicated. If it is in a wrong position, the SELF CHECK MODE operation cannot be performed.
> Press the [INFORMATION] key and [MUTING] key simultaneously, then enter the SERVICE MODE.
> Press the [2] key SELF CHECK MODE.
> Press the [RED] key to enter Page 2 of the SELF CHECK MODE.
[Use the [GREEN] key to toggle between Page 1 and Page 2]
[When a number key other than the [2] key is pressed in the SERVICE MODE screen, the other relevant screen may be displayed.
This is not used in the SELF CHECK MODE. Press the [MENU] key to return to the MAIN MENU SCREEN.]
HOW TO EXIT THE SELF CHECK MODE
To Save Failure History
Turn off the power by unplugging the AC power cord plug when in the Self check display mode.
To Clear (Reset) Failure History
Turn off the power by pressing the [POWER] key on the remote control unit when in the Self check display mode.
FAILURE HISTORY
Failure history can be counted up to 9 times for each item. When the number exceeds 9, display will remain as 9. Failure history will be stored in the memory unless it has been deleted.
POINTS TO NOTE WHEN USING THE SELF CHECK FEATURE
In addition to circuit failures (abnormal operation), the following cases may also be diagnosed as "Abnormal" and counted.
Temporary defective transmissions across circuits due to pulse interruptions.
Misalignment in the on/off timing of power for I2C bus (Vcc) when turning on/off the main power.  Therefore, turn on the main power, and then wait for about 3 seconds before starting Self check.  If recurrences are expected, ensure to clear (reset) the failure history and record the new diagnosis results.
