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.

ERROR CODES & ERROR MESSAGES _ TROUBLESHOOTING _ LED BLINKING CODES_ENTERTAINMENT TROUBLESHOOTING
REFERENCE DESIGNATOR & DESCRIPTION
LED 1 > Indicates the MCB with Daughter Board communication
LED 2 > Indicates the MCB with Daughter Board communication present
LED 3 > Indicates if MCB Voltage Supply is present.
ERROR CODES
Error messages - 0x01a2, 0x01a0, 0x0140, and 0x01a1.
Cause - incline direction is reversed.
* Check that the incline motor cable is connected at the MCB.
* Press "enter 2001 enter". The display should now read engineering mode.
* Press the calibration tab, then press start. If the calibration passes, delete the error log, unit is operational.
* If auto calibration fails, press manual cal elevation min and press start.
* Check to see if the led up and down lights are lit on the MCB as you change the elevation minimum. If leds are not lit, check the console cable and console. * If LEDs are lit, replace the incline motor.
* If incline motor does not resolve issues, replace MCB.
ERROR MESSAGE 0X02A0
1) cause - speed commanded but no belt movement detected (could be missing sensor).
2) Solution:
* Check the connection of the speed sensor cable to the MCB.
* Move the running belt, as it moves the MCB speed led should flash. If it does not, replace speed sensor.
* If the LED is flashing with belt movement, replace MCB signal wire
ERROR MESSAGES 0X02AE AND 0X02AF
1) Cause - checksum failure on critical novram loading (0X02AE) or checksum failure on non - critical novram loading (0X02AF).
2) Solution:
* Power the unit off / on.
* If the issue is not resolved by power reset, replace daughter board.
ERROR MESSAGE 0X029F
1) cause - error (drive fault report) created by the motor controller - used for ac motors only.
2) Solution:
* Power the unit off / on.
* Move the running belt, as it moves the MCB speed led should flash. if it does not, replace speed sensor.
* If the led is flashing with belt movement, replace MCB signal wire
ERROR MESSAGES 0X02B1 AND 0X02B2
1) Cause - the emergency circuit on the interface board fails (0x02b1) or the emergency circuit on the interface board active (0x02b2).

ENTERTAINMENT TROUBLESHOOTING
Verify that your TV is Matrix brand equipment. Compare your TV to the TVs in Figures A and B. Compare your controller to Figure C. If your equipment looks different contact Matrix or the manufacturer of your TV equipment if known.
For Matrix produced and mounted equipment you can use the information outlined in this section to help with any connection and power issues you may have. If you have questions that are specific to the TV alone (settings, programming, menu options, etc) please see the entertainment owner’s manual.
PICTURE FUZZY OR UNCLEAR
Using a verified good piece of coax cable, remove the console back cover and hook the coax directly to the TV jack.  This bypasses internal connections for your machine.
Check your internal cables and fittings inside your machine at the console and below the motor cover. Make sure you have no damage (kinks, cuts etc) and no stray wires or poor fittings on the ends of the cables. Fittings should look clean  connector and no stray aluminium strands touching the centre conductor. Replace or repair any suspected cables.
If no damage can be found on cables, fittings, or connectors begin replacing cables and connectors with known good parts until the damaged part is found.
TV WILL NOT TURN ON
If you have no picture at all, check to see if you have any status lights on your controller (controller light is next to power button).  The status light should be red when off or in standby mode, and green when the TV is powered on.
Remove the console back (Figure A) and check the electrical connections for the TV
After you have verified all connections are secure and problem still exists verify power at the outlet. If outlet is not outputting 120 volts, check  room power.
If internal electrical connections are good,, and the outlet is outputting 120 Volts, the issue is likely with the TV, contact Matrix.
CONTROLLER ISSUES
If you have a status light on the controller but the On/Off button gives no response, disconnect and then reconnect the power to the treadmill from the wall. Attempt to turn on the TV again using the On/Off button.
If TV still does not power on, remove the console back  and check the controller connections at the console.
If the TV does not power on after the controller connections are reset, the issue it is likely with the TV itself, contact Matrix.
