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.

CRT TV

HOW TO ENTER SERVICE MODE AND CIRCUIT DIAGRAM 


HOW TO RESET THE UNIT (SELF CHECK)
To reset the unit, press simultaneously “VOLUME (--)” on the front panel and “TIMER” on the remote control.
HOW TO ENTER IN THE SERVICE MODE:
1 . Adjust “OFF TIMER” to 30 minutes. Press simultaneously “VOLUME (--)” on the front panel and “RECALL” on the remote control to enter “SERVICE MODE”. 
After a couple of seconds, the expression “CHK1 ” should appear on the right superior side of the TV screen.
2. To change to memory data, press ”MUTE” and ”VOLUME(--)” simultaneously while the OSD is still on CHK1 mode.
3. Press key “2” to move forward and “8” to move backward each page (8h positions) in the memory.
Exemple: Memory position is 100. After pressing “2” the cursor will go to position 0F8 and after pressing “8” the cursor will go to position 108 .
4. Press “4” and “6” to move to right or left.
5. Press “CH(+)” e “CH(–)” to move for blocks.
Example: Initial memory position is 000. By pressing “CH(+)” cursor will go to position 100, pressing it once again the cursor will go to position 200. The key “CH(–)” does the inverse move.
6. To change values in the memory, press “VOLUME(+)” to increase and ”VOLUME(--)” to decrease.
7. After data adjustment, OSD will change to RED color. Press “0” to memorize the adjustment and the OSD will change to GREEN color.
CHK1 MODE - OPTIONS
On CHK1 mode it is possible to adjust the items of the table shown here.
Note:
To select an option, type “4” to move forward and “3” to move back. After having selected the desired option, adjust it by pressing the “VOL(--)” or “VOL(+)”
keys. Press “0” to memorize the adjustment.
Observation:
Values of CHK1 table in should be programed, exactly as described in the table shown here.
CHK2 MODE - VCJ ADJUSTMENTS
On CHK2 mode it is possible to adjust the items of the table shown here.
Note:
To select an item, type “4” to move forward and “3” to move back. After having selected the desired option, adjust it by pressing the “VOL(--)” or “VOL(+)” keys.

TO EXIT SERVICE MODE AND RETURN TO NORMAL MODE
To exit SERVICE MODE, turn off or reset (SELF CHECK) the television.
RF AGC ADJUSTMENT
1. Supply a color bar PHILIPS pattern and adjust the RF input signal of 69 dB mV (75W opened channel 7 RF freq.: 175.25 MHz).
2. Connect the digital multimeter in TPA15
ADJUSTMENT:
1. Select “RF AGC” on “CHK2” service mode.
2. Adjust "RF AGC" by pressing VOL(+) or (-) until obtaining
2.2±0.1V in TPA15.
3. Increase the input level by +2 dB and confirm that the voltage decreases in TPA15.
WHITE QUALITY CALIBRATION
PREPARATION: 1. Adjust the HELMHOLTZ device to local magnetic field. Horizontal: 0 ± 0.003 x 10-4T
2. Receive a white purity pattern.
3. Adjust CONTRAST and BRIGHT controls to maximum.
4. Previously adjust the CONVERGENCE.
5. Fully degauss the CRT by using an external degaussing coil.
CALIBRATION:
1. Adjust the magnetic field in 0.4x10-4T (400 mG), and check the white quality with the CRT turned to EAST and to WEST.
2. Receive a red pattern, adjust the COLOR control to maximum and confirm the purity adjustment.
3. If purity error is found at the CRT corners, apply magnetic tapes to correct it, fully degauss the CRT again and repeat the steps 1 and 2. Don't use this magnetic tapes on the internal side of the yoke.
4. When magnetic tapes be used, fully degauss the face of CRT (in a horizontal magnetic field = 0 ± 0.03x10-4T), and repeat the items 1 and 2.
5. Adjust the control of COLOR to MINIMUM.
