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.

SAMSUNG CI5344NG3 SERVICE MODE

SAMSUNG CI5344NG3 SERVICE MODE


 

 SERVICE MODE

Procedure for the “Adjustment” Mode

1. This mode uses the standard remote control.
The Service Mode is activated by entering the following remote-control sequence :
(1) STAND-BY > DISPLAY >  MENU >  MUTE > POWER ON.
2. The “SERVICE (FACTORY)” message will be displayed. The Service Mode has three components: Adjustment, Option and Reset.
3. Access the Adjustment Mode by pressing the “VOLUME” keys ( Up or Down). The adjustment parameters are listed in the accompanying table, and selected by pressing the CHANNEL keys (
,).
4. Selection sequences for the PAL system:
DOWN or UP key:
AGC< >VCO< >SBT< >SCT< >SCR< >SC< >RG< > BG< >CDL< >STT< >LCO< >VOL< >PSL< >PVS< > PVA< >PHS< >PEW< >PEP< >PEC< >PET< >VSC< > TSC< >SA< >QEW< >PCT< >PTT< >PHM< >PVP< > PHP< >NSR< >PDL< >AGC.
5. The VOLUME keys increase or decrease the adjustment values (stored in the non-volatile memory) when Adjustment Mode is cancelled.
6. Cancel the Adjustment Mode by re-pressing the “HIDDEN” or “Power OFF/ON” keys.
7. After adjustments are completed, re-start the TV set.
AGING Mode (Reference Only)
This pattern is used for pre-heating the CRT during manufacturing--it is accessed in the factory by twice pressing the “FACTORY “ key.
Even if the TV power is cut off, the Aging Mode is not cancelled, The AGING mode is cancelled by repressing the “HIDDEN” or any key on the front pannel.
PRESET
The Reset Mode is used during factory inspection. Function Reset:
1. Channels >> Add/Erase
2. Language >> Last condition
3. Station name >> Clear
Other Adjustments
General
1. Usually, a color TV needs only slight touchup adjustment upon installation. Check the basic characteristics such as height, horizontal and vertical sync and focus.
2. The picture should have good black and white details. There should be no objectionable color shading; if color shading is present, perform the purity and convergence adjustments described below.
3. Use the specified test equipment or its equivalent.
4. Correct impedance matching is essential.
5. Avoid overload. Excessive signal from a sweep generator might overload the front-end of the
TV. When inserting signal markers, do not allow the marker generator to distort test results.
6. Connect the TV only to an AC power source
with voltage and frequency as specified on the
backcover nameplate.
7. Do not attempt to connect or disconnect any wires while the TV is turned on. Make sure
that the power cord is disconnected before replacing any parts.
8. To protect against shock hazard, use an isolation transformer.
Automatic Degaussing
A degaussing coil is mounted around the picture tube, so that external degaussing after moving the TV should be unnecessary. But the receiver must be properly degaussed upon installation. The degaussing coil operates for about 1 second after the power is switched ON. If the set has been moved or turned in a different direction, disconnect its AC power for at least 30 minutes.
If the chassis or parts of the cabinet become magnetized, poor color purity will result. If this happens, use an external degaussing coil. Slowly move the degaussing coil around the faceplate of the picture tube and the sides and front of the receiver. Slowly withdraw the coil to a distance of about 6 feet before removing power.
High Voltage Check
CAUTION: There is no high voltage adjustment on this chassis. The B+ power supply must be set to +155 volts (Full color bar input and normal picture level).
1. Connect a digital voltmeter to the second anode of the picture tube.
2. Turn on the TV. Set the Brightness and Contrast controls to minimum (zero beam current).
3. The high voltage should not exceed 33KV.
4. Adjust the Brightness and contrast controls to both extremes. Ensure that the high voltage does not exceed 33KV under any conditions.
FOCUS Adjustment
1. Input a black and white signal.
2. Adjust the tuning control for the clearest picture.
3. Adjust the FOCUS control for well defined scanning lines in the center area of the screen.
Screen Adjustment
1. Connect CRT socket pin GK, BK, RK to an oscilloscope probe.
2. Input a gray scale pattern. (Use a pattern generator, PM5518)
3. Use the Picture mode for the STANDARD picture.
4. Adjust the Screen VR (on the FBT) so that the voltage on the oscilloscope becomes 140+2.5V.
Purity Adjustment
1. Warm up the receiver for at least 20 minutes.
2. Plug in the CRT deflection yoke and tighten the clamp screw.
3. Plug the convergence yoke into the CRT and set .
4. Input a black and white signal.
5. Fully demagnetize the receiver by applying an external degaussing coil.
6. Turn the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS controls to maximum.
7. Loosen the clamp screw holding the yoke. Slide the yoke backward or forward to provide vertical green belt.
8. Tighten the convergence yoke.
9. Slowly move the deflection yoke forward, and adjust for the best overall green screen.
10. Temporarily tighten the deflection yoke.
11. Produce blue and red rasters by adjusting the low-light controls. Check for good purity in each field.
12. Tighten the deflection yoke.
White Balance Adjustment
(a) Set up
1. Warm up the TV for at least 30 minutes in the White Pattern.
2. Input a Toshiba pattern.
(b) High-Light Adjustment Set SCT to 40 ± 5 fL in the Factory Service Mode with using CA100.
(c) Low-Light Adjustment Set SBT to 1.5 ± 0.2 fL in the Factory Service Mode with using CA100.
Center Convergence Adjustment
1. Warm up the receiver for at least 20 minutes.
2. Adjust the two tabs of the 4 pole magnets to change the angle between them. Superimpose the red and blue vertical lines in the center area of the screen.
3. Adjust the Brightness and Contrast controls for a well defined picture.
4. Adjust the two-tab pairs of the 4 pole magnets, and change the angle between them. Superimpose the red and the blue vertical lines in the center area of the screen.
5. Turn the both tabs at the same time, keeping the angle constant, and superimpose the red and blue horizontal line in the center of the screen.
6. Adjust the two-tab pairs of the 6-pole magnets to superimpose the red and blue line onto the green. (Changing the angle affects the vertical lines, and rotating both magnets affects the horizontal lines.)
7. Repeat adjustments 2~6, if necessary.
8. Since the 4-pole magnets and 6-pole magnets interact, the dot movement is complex
RF AGC Adjustment
1. Tune to the strongest local station.
2. Enter the Factory Service Mode to make adjustments.
3. Adjust the AGC control untill noise(snow) disappears from the screen.
