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 AND POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

HOW TO ENTER TO FACTORY MODE   
To activate the Factory mode, use the following method:
Press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: from the “menu/home” press “1999”, directly followed by the “Back/Return” button. Do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence.
After entering the Factory mode, the following items are displayed,
How to Exit the Factory mode
Use one of the following methods:
Select EXIT_FACTORY from the menu and press the “OK” button.
NoteWhen the TV is switched “off” by a power interrupt, or normal switch to “stand-by” while in the factory mode, the TV will show up in “normal operation mode” as soon as the power is supplied again. The error buffer will not be cleared.
Service Modes
The Service Mode feature is split into five parts:
1. Service Default Mode (SDM).
2. Service Alignment Mode (SAM).
3. Factory Mode.
4. Customer Service Mode (CSM).
5. Computer Aided Repair Mode (ComPair). SDM, SAM and the Factory mode offer features, which can be used by the Service engineer to repair/align a TV set. Some features are:
A. A pre-defined situation to ensure measurements can be made under uniform conditions (SDM).
B. Activates the blinking LED procedure for error identification when no picture is available (SDM).
C. Make alignments (e.g. White Tone), reset the error buffer (SAM and Factory Mode).
D. Display information (“SDM” or “SAM” indication in upper right corner of screen, error buffer, software version, operating hours, options and option codes, sub menus). The CSM is a Service Mode that can be enabled by the consumer. The CSM displays diagnosis information, which the customer can forward to the dealer or call centre. In CSM mode, “CSM”, is displayed in the top right corner of the screen.
The information provided in CSM and the purpose of CSM is to:
# Increase the home repair hit rate.
# Decrease the number of nuisance calls.
# Solved customers’ problem without home visit.
ComPair Mode is used for communication between a computer and a TV on I2C /UART level and can be used by a Service engineer to quickly diagnose the TV set by reading out error codes, read and write in NVMs, communicate with ICs and the micro processor (PWM, registers, etc.), and by making use of a fault finding database. It will also be possible to up and download the software of the TV set via I2C with help of ComPair. To do this, ComPair has to be connected to the TV set via the ComPair connector, which will be accessible through the rear of the set (without removing the rear cover).
Note: For the new model range, a new remote control (RC) is used with some renamed buttons. This has an impact on the activation of the Service modes. For instance the old “MENU” button is now called “HOME” (or is indicated by a “house” icon)
Service Default Mode (SDM)
Purpose
Set the TV in SDM mode in order to be able to create a predefined setting for measurements to be made. In this platform, a simplified SDM is introduced (without protection override and without tuning to a predefined frequency).
Specifications
• Set linear video and audio settings to 50%, but volume to 25%. Stored user settings are not affected.
• All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled, since they interfere with diagnosing/repairing a set. These service unfriendly modes are:
 (Sleep) timer.
Blue mute/Wall paper.
Auto switch “off” (when there is no “ident” signal).
Hotel or hospital mode.
Child lock or parental lock (manual or via V-chip).
Skipping, blanking of “Not favourite”, “Skipped” or “Locked” presets/channels.
Automatic storing of Personal Preset or Last Status settings. back/OFF automatically.
HOW TO ENTER TO  SDM
To activate SDM, use the following methods:
Press the following key sequence on the RC transmitter: “062596”, directly followed by the “Home/Menu” button. After activating this mode, “SDM” will appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
On Screen Menu

After activating SDM, the following items are displayed, with SDM in the upper right corner of the screen to indicate that the television is in Service Default Mode. Menu items and explanation:
• xxxxx Operating hours (in decimal).
• AAAAB-X.YYY See Software Identification, Version, and
Cluster for the software name definition.
• ERR Shows all errors detected since the last time the buffer was erased in format <xxx> <xxx> <xxx> <xxx> <xxx> (five errors possible).
• OP Used to read-out the option bytes. In this chassis two times eight option codes are used.
How to Exit SDM
• Switch the set to Stand-by, by pressing the standby button on the remote control transmitter or on the television set.
• Via a standard customer RC-transmitter: key in “00”-sequence.
Note: If the TV is switched “off” by a power interrupt while in SDM, the TV will show up in the last status of SDM menu as soon as the power is supplied again. The error buffer will not be cleared.
Service Alignment Mode (SAM)
Purpose
• To modify the NVM.
• To display/clear the error code buffer.
• To perform alignments.
Specifications
• Operation hours counter (maximum five digits displayed).
• Software version, error codes, and option settings display.
• Error buffer clearing.
• Option settings.
• Software alignments (White Tone).
• NVM Editor.

Specifications
• Ignore “Service unfriendly modes”.
• Line number for every line (to make CSM language independent).
• Set the screen mode to full screen (all contents on screen is visible).
