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.

SERVICE MODE SELF CHECK AND POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 

Self Check
Self-check is used to automatically check the bus lines and hexadecimal code of the TV set. To enter Self-Check mode, keep pressing the STATUS button on the remote control and press the down (-/v) button on the TV set. To exit Self Check, switch off the TV set at the power button.
If the CCU ports have been checked and found to be incorrect or not located then " - - " will appear in place of "O.K.".
Adjustment Method
How to enter Service 1
#Set the Bass to maximum position, set the Treble to minimum position then keep pressing the INDEX button on the remote control and press the down button (-/v) on the TV set, this will place the TV set into the Service Mode 1.
Key Command
# Press the RED / GREEN buttons to step up / down through the functions.
# Press the YELLOW / BLUE buttons to alter the function values, to alter White Rasters use +/- buttons
# Press the OK button after each adjustment has been made to store the required values.
# To exit the Service Mode, press the "N" button.
Keep adjusting sequence: DVCO, Sub-Contrast, other items.
Sub-Contrast - Sub-Contrast 32 - Receive a 80% white level Philips Pattern with correct sound system (B/G, D/K) via aerial input. For SubContrast alignment press "Blue" button, wait until the figure colour is changed from red to black colour. Press the OK.
DVCO – DVCO 63 - Receive a 80% white level Philips Pattern via aerial input. For DVCO alignment press "Blue" button, wait until the figure colour is changed from red to black colour. Press the OK.
White Balance Adjustment
Instrument

Safety Precautions
General Guide Lines
1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.
2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.
3. After servicing, make the following touch current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
4. Always ensure panel TKP0E16001 is correctly replaced before returning to customer
Touch-Current Check
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a measuring network for touch currents between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as a water pipe,.
3. Use Leakage Current Tester (Simpson 228 or equivalent) to measure the potential across the measuring network.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point.
5. Reserve the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measure.
6. The potential at any point (TOUCH CURRENT) expressed as voltage U1 and U2, does not exceed the following values:
For a. c.: U1 = 35 V (peak) and U2 = 0.35 V (peak);
For d. c.: U1 = 1.0 V,
Note:
The limit value of U2 = 0.35 V (peak) for a. c. and U1 = 1.0 V for d. c. correspond to the values 0.7 mA (peak) a. c. and 2.0 mA d. c. The limit value U1 = 35 V (peak) for a. c. correspond to the value 70 mA (peak) a. c. for frequencies greater than 100 kHz.
7. In case a measurement is out of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.
