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.

j) Perform “Copy All” for COOl/Warm adjustments except DTV channel;
k) Check if chromatic coordinates of other channels meet the requirements, if not, do adjustment for nonstandard channel alone with the same procedures from b) to j) as HDMI channel’s and then save the data;
l) Switch to DTV channel, change to 16-grey-scale program from central signal source, adjust white balance with the same procedures from e) to g) ; but pay attention not to perform “COPY ALL”
m) Inspect all channels after completing adjustment to check if display is normal;
n) Refer to the following rule for adjustment:
B Gain/Offset: adjust B Gain/Offset downward, coordinates of X and Y will increase, adjust B Gain/Offset upward, coordinates of X and Y will decrease;
R Gain/Offset: adjust R Gain/Offset will affect X value, but affect Lv value slightly, adjust R Gain/Offset upward, coordinates of X will increase, adjust R Gain/Offset downward, coordinates of X will decrease;
G Gain/Offset: adjust G Gain/Offset will affect Y value, and affect Lv value greatly, adjust G Gain/Offset upward, coordinates of Y will increase, adjust G Gain/Offset downward, coordinates of Y will decrease;
Note: Sanyo requires that default color temperature is Normal, adjust white balance of color temperature Normal and Cool in Dynamic picture mode; for other customers, please adjust white balance of color temperature Cool in Dynamic picture mode.

The first step “Erasing…, Flash Status: 03” will last for some time, or erasing is failed if the step passes over immediately; please confirm procedure.
To perform upgrading again
The second step is “Programming…, Flash Status:00”;
Then prompt “Pass” displays.
7 Prompt “Pass” will display by button “Run” when upgrading succeeds.
8 Need not exit ISP upgrading interface if there are other TV sets to be upgraded , only procedures 3) and 6) need repeat.
Upgrading with USB:
1 Make sure U disk is formatted as FAT32;
2 Copy software file named as “Merge. bin” to U disk;
3 Turn on the TV set, then insert U disk in USB port of the unit;
a) First press key “INPUT”, then press keys “2,5,8,0” in turn to enter into primary factory menu;
b) Choose “USB SW Update” to begin upgrading;
4 Upgrading processes:
A Read data from U disk while data indicator light of U disk is twinkling at the same time;
B Upgrading flash, then the unit will be in “standby” mode;
5 Cut off the power supply and then restart the TV set, enter into factory menu to verify version and time parameter, then perform “EEPROM Init” to complete the whole upgrading processes.
[The USB upgrading method can not be sure to be suitable for all kinds of U disk, so try another U disk if necessary
