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.

Block diagram and description
The loader reads disc data and it goes through SERVO part in MPEG ic(ES8393). The data from loader will be decoded by MPEG processing and Video data and Audio data will go out.
The firmware of MPEG ic is programmed to FLASH.
When MPEG is boot up, the data from FLASH is dumpped to SDRAM.
EEPROM will save back-up information from MPEG ic.
The video data goes out in two different ways. Analog video data is going out to composite and component jack via buffer ic(THS7374), and HDMI video data goes to HDMI jack directly.
The Audio data is going out to Power AMP block. The amp block will process the audio data from MPEG ic and the sound goes throgh speakers.
AUX2, AUX1, ipod, Tuner and mic data will go through ADC block in MPEG ic. The data from ADC will do the same processing like SERVO.
USB data from USB device and SPDIF data from optical jack also do the same things.
Audio Micom(LC87C5N) is the HOST controller of the system.
It will control MPEG ic, CEC micom, VFD, Touch key ic, tuner pack, and wireless module.
