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.

LINES ON SCREEN FAULTS TO PLASMA TVs

LINES ON SCREEN  FAULTS TO PLASMA TVs

What is Plasma?
Plasma is by far the most common form of matter.
Plasma in the stars and in the tenuous space between them makes up over 99% of the visible universe and perhaps most of that which is not visible.  Plasma consists of a collection of free-moving electrons and ions - atoms that have lost electrons.
Energy is needed to strip electrons from atoms to make plasma. The energy can be of various origins: thermal, electrical, or light (ultraviolet light or intense visible light from a laser).  With insufficient sustaining power, plasmas recombine into neutral gas.
Plasma can be accelerated and steered by electric and magnetic fields which allows it to be controlled and applied. Plasma research is yielding a greater understanding of the universe.
It also provides many practical uses: new manufacturing techniques, consumer products, and the prospect of abundant energy.
What is Plasma Display Panel - How does it work?
Plasma display panel is the latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality and large screen size that is easily viewable in any environment.  PDP is an array of cells, known as pixels, which are composed of 3 sub-pixels, corresponding to the colors Red, Green and Blue. Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green or blue). These phosphors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tube(CRT) devices such as televisions and standard computer monitors. You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect.  Each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over 16 million different colors.  All of this means that you get perfect images that are easily viewable in a display that is less than 6 inches thick.
LINE FAULTS ON SCREEN
Vertical bar when Power off/on (Mis-discharge)
PDP Power on Mode external input (regardless of wire/wireless signal but it’s easy to reenact in wireless signal)
Remove Power Cord (Power’s off) After about 20minutes, insert Power cord (automatically the Power’s on and the vertical bar is .
Cause Control board malfunctions when Power off/on.
Countermeasure Change some parts on Control board.
Changing parts  A32_CTRL_03 B/D (Marked on PCB) -.R14,17,18,21 : 330 > 4.7K (Chip Resistor) -R15,16,19,20 : 22K > 4.7K (Chip Resistor) -.C504, 505 : 0.1uF / 50V add (Chip Capacitor)
Add Open (Green 1 Line) > Add. COF Drive IC inferior.
Symptom
No signal Vertical Bar.
* IC2 DA1(Data Arrange) No.162 Pin output is changing depending on the temperature.⇒ abnormal X-B’d Buffer IC * Room temperature : 2.5V Output (Normal Pin = over 2.8V) * Heated : 1.5V Output(Normal Pin = 2.7V ) ⇒ Bad IC2 (DA1)
