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.

Adjustment steps
Before the white balance adjustment, please let the unit working at least 30 minutes and at a stable situation, use BBY channel of the white balancer CA-210.
a) Switch to HDMI channel;
b) Press” SOURCE”, then press “2, 5, 8, 0” in turn to enter the level one factory menu.
c) Move the cursor to “W/B ADJUST” and press OK to enter the sub-menu.

e) Fix G GAIN, adjust R GAIN, B GAIN and let the color coordinate of the fourteenth scale be (272,278).
f) Fix G OFFSET, adjust R OFFSET, B OFFSET and let the color coordinate of the third scale be (272,278).
g) When adjusting, please keep the color temperature of high light to be X=272±5, Y=278±5 and the low light to be X=272±8, Y=278±8.
h) Move the cursor to “COPY ALL” and copy the data to the other channels.
i) Check if the color temperatures of NORMAL and WARM are up to the mustard (low light acceptable error:±8, high light acceptable error:±5), if not, adjust R-GAIN/ B-GAIN/ R-OFF/ B-OFF.
j) Check the color temperature of COOL, NORMAL and WARM of other channels (ANALOGTV, DVB-T, Video, YPbPr,VGA), if they are not up to the mustard then adjust and store the data separately.
k) The reference of adjustment rule is below:
B gun: lower B gun to increase X, Y coordinate data, while raise B gun to decrease the data.
R gun: raise R gun to increase X coordinate data, while lower R gun to decrease the data; (R gun adjustment will affect X and Lv slightly).
G gun: raise G gun to increase Y coordinate data, while lower G gun to decrease the data; (G gun adjustment will affect Y and Lv greatly)
Performance check
TV function
Connect RF to the center signal source, enter Channel menu → auto search, check if there are channels be skipped, check if the picture and speaker are normal.
AV/S-Video terminals
Input AV/S-Video signal, check if the picture and sound are normal.
YPbPr/YcbCr terminal
Input YUV signal (VG848 signal generator), separately input the YUV signals and check if the display and sound are normal at any situation (power on, channel switch and format convert, etc.)
Software writing and upgrade method with USB port
(1) Make sure the USB device is formatted as FAT32.
(2) Copy the program named Merge.bin to USB device.
(3) Insert the USB device to USB port of the unit, power on and select RF-ATV channel, begin USB upgrade after OSD disappear. It will display blue when read the data from USB device, while display red when write Flash. The flash must be pull out when display red. It will flicker in red and blue if the process of writing is abnormal.
(4) The method are not applicable to all the USB devices, try another one if a certain USB device is inapplicable.
Software writing and upgrade method with ISP writing-device
(1) Main board upgrade: connect a four-pin wire of the ISP writing-device to Debug port(X806) on the main board; Unit upgrade: connect VGA ports of the ISP writing-device and the main board, enter factory menu and set “ISP Mode” to “ON”.
(2) Using Mstar writing-tool on line, click “Connect” menu, if it displays “Device EN25B32“ as shown in fig2, the connection is success, if it fails, select “EN25B52” of “Device” manually and press “Connect” again.
(3) Click “Read” and select the file written (MERGE.bin)
(4) Click “Auto”, select “All chip” , “program” and other items
5) Press “Run” in fig4 to begin writing and there are two steps: Erase and Program.
(6) If the process of writing succeeds, it will display “Pass” near “Run”
7) Repeat step 2) and 5) to write the program to the other units without exit the ISP interface.
