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.

Self Check
Display Indication
1. Self-check is used to automatically check the bus line controlled circuit of the Plasma display.
2. There are 2 kinds of Self-check mode Self-check indication and forced to factory shipment setting :
Press the down button on the customer controls at the bottom of the set, at the same time pressing the OFFTIMER button on the remote control, and the screen will show.
Self-check indication only:
Press [5] button on the remote control at ID mode in CAT mode.

LED Blinking timing chart
1. Subject
Information of LED Blinking timing chart.
2. Contents
When an abnormality has occurred to the unit, the protection circuit operates and resets to the stand by mode. At this time, the defective block can be identified by the number of blinks of the Power LED on the front panel of the unit .
