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.

SAMSUNG PN50C450B1 - POWER SUPPLY [SMPS] TROUBLESHOOTING

SAMSUNG PN50C450B1 - POWER SUPPLY [SMPS] TROUBLESHOOTING

Firmware: Check Samsung.com for latest update - 3/16/11 IMPORTANT -T-SAT4AUSHC(1008.2 or 1008.3).EXE
You should check serial number and bulletin before updating firmware.
Reason: Red Dot issue.  Buzzing noise level will be reduced.
POWER SUPPLY TROUBLESHOOTING
Activating Power & Logic Board test patterns without main board.
* Remove the power cord to panel.
* Short the Highest two pins on the logic board.
* Remove the power connection at the main main board; keeping connection to SMPS. Short the  Power ON pin to circuit ground on power connector to SMPS.
* Connect the power cord to panel.
2010/2011 models
Will not be run with the “X” or “Y” main disconnected. The SMPS will shut down immediately. However if a meter is first connected to the test point when power is applied it will read the correct voltage briefly before shutting down.(You have enough time to check key voltages).  CAUTION: Do not reconnect any connectors to SMPS or Y/X Boards until power has been turned off long enough for Vs to drop below 10V or damage will occur to X or Y Boards.
Over Current Protection
  For the SMPS Power Supply... If a short circuit occurs on either the VS or VA voltage lines, the SMPS stops operating, but should not fail. When the short circuit is removed from the source line, the Power Supply will operate normally again. Many SMPS Supplies are replaced needlessly.
  When troubleshooting, It’s very important to first check Vs, Va, Vsc & Ve If Vs is missing (0V), disconnect power and check for short. Use ohm meter to measure resistance while disconnecting Y-Board & X-Board supply feeds one at a time.  Turn Power On and Test SMPS with short connector removed for correct Vs voltage verification. (It may only come up briefly but to full level). Again be careful not to reconnect Power Connectors until Vs falls below 10V.
  If Va is low or missing, disconnect Supply Feed to Address Boards and Check to see if SMPS Supply is restored. (Note Va feed normally passes through the Y-Drive to the Address Boards (Logic Buffer Boards). 
  If Vsc is low or missing and Vs was OK, the failure is with the Y-Board since the Y-Board generate the Vsc voltage from the Vs supplied by the SMPS.
  If Ve is low or missing and Vs is OK, the failure is with the X-Board since the Ve is generated by the X-Board from the Vs supplied by the SMPS. Please note in some rare cases the Ve may be generated by the Y-Board feed to the XBoard.)
Other SMPS Voltages:
Check Low Voltage feeds to the Main Board and other supplied Assemblies.
