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.

PRIMA PH50D8 - PLASMA TV - TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW CHART

PRIMA PH50D8 - PLASMA TV - TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW CHART - UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROLS SET-UP CODES



TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
No raster, No picture and No sound: 

Note: Power supply for PDP is provided with over current and over voltage protection functions. If there is over current or over voltage, this protection will function and no output.
SOUND OK, BUT NO PICTURE
  • For the originally self-powered software, if the operation of PW181 is abnormal, in SDA555X there may be a state of individually switched-on. In this case very often the phenomenon of the trouble is there is sound but no image.

Setting up for the self check of the screen:
  • For 42”SD screen (S42SD-YD04):Push down 2 and 4 and push up 3 of SW2001on the logic board;
  • For 50”HD screen (S50HW-XD02):Push down 1 and 4 and push up 2, 3, 5, 6 of SW2001on the logic board;

Make sure resume it to the original status when the check is over.
PICTURE OK, BUT NO SOUND
NO PICTURE TO A/V
First, use dual picture function to judge if the main or sub picture has problem.
NO PICTURE IN SUB-CHANNEL
CLICK ON PICTURES TO MAGNIFY
NO PICTURE IN YPrPb or YCrCb
NO PICTURE TO TV
NO PICTURE TO VGA
DVI - NO PICTURE
If VGA works normally, it’s enough only to check the connection between socket X401and N403 and the operation status of N403. R414 is the matching resistance for its input. If it has problem the DVI image would become abnormal.
ABNORMAL PICTURE
Peculiar color, which may be caused by the following phenomena:
  • A certain differential wire pair of LVDS (RX0+/-,RX1+/-,RX2+/-,RX3+/-,is abnormal, which may lead to lack of color ( it’s not a complete loss of color);
  • Failure with resistor rows R550~R555,which may lead to loss of corresponding color from the gray degree corresponding to the picture of all channels. Through self-signal check by PW181, the failure is still there.
  • Failure with resistor rows R419, R421, R425, R427, R431, R432, which may lead to loss of corresponding color from the gray degree corresponding to the picture of channels VGA/YPRPB/DVI.
  • Failure with resistor rows R415, R418, R422, R424, R429, R430, which may lead to loss of corresponding color from the gray degree corresponding to the picture of channel DVI.
  • Failure with resistor rows R342, R343, R344, R345, which may lead to loss of corresponding color from the gray degree corresponding to the picture of sub-channels TV/AV/YCRCB, or lead to abnormal brightness.
  • Failure with resistor rows R207, R208, R209, R210, R211, R212 or R145, R146, R147, R148, which may lead to loss of corresponding color from the gray degree corresponding to the picture of main channels TV/AV, or lead to abnormal brightness.
  • Bad connection between N203 and N204, which may also lead to abnormal picture (column bar like) in main channel TV/AV.
  • Abnormal picture vertically or horizontally (bar like): Abnormal in complete line extending all the way from up downward on the screen of stand definition TV set; abnormal vertically on half screen of high definition TV set. They may be caused by the damage of the address BUFFER module that directly corresponds to its position, or may be caused by the damage of the connection wire that directly corresponds to the position of the screen. The horizontal bar like abnormality is also related to the Y driving circuit that corresponds directly to its position. To judge these phenomena, It’s possible to check it by setting the screen to the status of self check as explained above.
  • No brightness in the square block area: Normally it’s caused by the damage of the address BUFFER module that directly corresponds to its position, or may be caused by the damage of the connection wire that directly corresponds to the position of the screen. To judge these phenomena, it’s possible to check it by setting the screen to the state of self-check as explained above.
