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.

PHILIPS -32PFL6615D – 40PFL6615D – 46PFL6615D - VAN GOGH – DA VINCI – MATISSE _Q552.1L - HOW TO ENTER SERVICE MODE




SERVICE MODES
Service Default mode (SDM) and Service Alignment Mode (SAM) offers several features for the service technician, while the Customer Service Mode (CSM) is used for communication between the call center and the customer.


SDM [DEFAULT SERVICE MODE] Purpose:
  • To create a pre-defined setting, to get the same measurement results as given in this manual.
  • To override SW protections detected by stand-by processor and make the TV start up to the step just before protection (a sort of automatic  tepwise start-up).
  • All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled, like:
  1. (Sleep) timer.
  2. Child/parental lock.
  3. Picture mute (blue mute or black mute).
  4. Automatic volume levelling (AVL).
  5. Skip/blank of non-favorite pre-sets.
How to Activate SDM
  • For this chassis there are two kinds of SDM: an analogue SDM and a digital SDM.
  • Analogue SDM: use the standard RC-transmitter and key in the code “062596”, directly followed by the “MENU” (or “HOME”) button.  Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main menu will appear.
  • To switch it “off”, push the “MENU” (or "HOME") button again.
Analogue SDM can also be activated by grounding for a moment the solder path on the SSB, with the indication.
  • Digital SDM: use the standard RC-transmitter and key in the code “062593”, directly followed by the “MENU” (or "HOME") button.
  • Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main menu will appear.
  • To switch it “off”, push the “MENU” (or "HOME") button again.
After activating this mode, “SDM” will appear in the upper right corner of the screen (when a picture is available).

How to Navigate
  • When the “MENU” (or “HOME”) button is pressed on the RC transmitter, the TV set will toggle between the SDM and the normal user menu.
How to Exit SDM:  Use one of the following methods:
  1. Switch the set to STAND-BY via the RC-transmitter.
  2. Via a standard customer RC-transmitter: key in “00”- sequence.
