REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

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.

SERVICE MODE AND LED BLINKING CODES 


HOW TO ENTER TO SERVICE MODE 
1) Before entering the adjustment process mode, the AV position RESET in the video adjustment menu.
2) While holding down the “VOL (–)” and “INPUT” keys at a time, plug in the AC cord of the main unit to turn on the power. The letter “<K>” appears on the screen.
3) Next, hold down the “VOL (–)” and “CH (DOWN )” keys at a time.
(The “VOL (–)” and “CH (DOWN )” keys should be pressed and held until the display appears.)
Multiple lines of blue characters appearing on the display indicate that the unit is now in the adjustment process mode. When you fail to enter the adjustment process mode (the display is the same as normal startup), retry the procedure.
HOW TO EXIT THE SERVICE MODE 
 To exit the adjustment process mode after the adjustment is done, unplug the AC cord from the outlet to make a forced shutdown. (When the power was turned off with the remote controller, once unplug the AC cord and plug it again. In this case, wait 10 seconds or so before plugging.)
CAUTION: Use due care in handling the information described here lest your users should know how to enter the adjustment process mode. If the settings are tampered in this mode, unrecoverable system damage may result.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
The adjustment values are set to the optimum conditions at the factory before shipping. If a value should become improper or an adjustment is required due to part replacement, make an adjustment according to the following procedure.
After replacement of any PWB unit and/or IC for repair, refer the following 
# When replacing the following units, make sure to prepare the new units loaded with updated software.
MAIN Unit: DKEYMF953FM06
# When replacing the LCD control PWB, perform the VCOM adjustment.
Upgrading of each microprocessor software
CAUTION: Never “POWER OFF” the unit when software upgrade is ongoing. Otherwise the system may be damaged beyond recovery.
Software version upgrade
The model employs the following software.
# Main software (please use a software version after OKLA_LE857_xxx.USB).
# Monitor microprocessor software (please use a software version after OKLAMxxx.SMB.)
The main software, monitor microprocessor software can be upgraded by using a general-purpose USB Memory.
The followings are the procedures for upgrading, explained separately for the main software, monitor microprocessor software.
Main software version upgrade
Get ready before you start
# USB Memory of 128MB or higher capacity.
# PC running on Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP operating system.
# USB Memory reader/writer or PC with a USB port.
# The file system of a USB memory is FAT. (FAT32 supports)
# Use the USB memory without other functions. (lock and memory reader...etc)
Preparations
To upgrade the main software, it is necessary to get ready the USB Memory for version upgrade before you start. Follow the steps below and create the USB Memory for version upgrade.
1. Copy the file OKLA_LE857_xxx.USB for version upgrade to the root directory (folder) of the USB Memory.
NOTE: In the USB Memory drive, do not store other folders or unrelated files, or more than one file for version upgrade. Now the USB Memory for version upgrade is ready.
How to upgrade the software
1. Unplug the AC cord.
2. Insert the USB Memory for version upgrade into the service socket.
3. Plug in the AC cord with power button pressed down.
4. After 5 seconds, unpress the power button.
5. After the unit startup, the system upgrade screen will show within 20-40 seconds.
6. Even a single failure in the process will trigger the upgrade failure screen.
NOTE: In the event of a failure, repeat the upgrade process. If the process repeatedly fails, it is likely that the hardware need fixing.
7. Upon completion of the whole process, the upgrade success screen as shown below appears. You can check the new software version on this screen. The version information appears after the upgrade is complete.
8. Unplug the AC cord and remove the USB Memory for version upgrade.
9. Now the software version upgrade is complete.
NOTE: When you are done with the software version upgrade, start the set, go to the top page of the adjustment process screen and check the main software version information.
Monitor microprocessor software version upgrade
Create the USB memory for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade in the same manner as explained in the “Main software version upgrade”. Copy the file OKLA_LE857_xxx.USB and OKLAMxxx.SMB. (named temporarily) for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade to the USB memory.
How to upgrade the software
1. Unplug the AC cord.
2. Insert the USB Memory for version upgrade into the service socket.
3. Plug in the AC cord with power button pressed down.
4. After 5 seconds, unpress the power button.
CAUTION: The moment this operation is done, the upgrading of the monitor microprocessor software starts. While the upgrade is ongoing, never power off the unit. Otherwise the upgrade will fail and the system may be serious damaged beyond recovery (inability to start).
# After the monitor microprocessor software is upgraded, also perform the ‘Industry Init’.
5. After the unit startup, the upgrade starts. The power led will blink continuously. Also, an upgrade screen will be shown during a minor upgrade.
6. If the upgrade fails, power led will stop blinking. Also, the upgrade failure screen will be show.
NOTE: In the event of a transient failure, upgrade will be automatically retried up to three times. If the process repeatedly fails, hardware may be the cause.
7. The upgrade success screen will be show
8. Unplug the AC cord and remove the USB Memory for version upgrade.
9. Now the software version upgrade is complete.
NOTE: When you are done with the software version upgrade, start the set, go to the top page of the adjustment process screen and check the monitor microprocessor software version information and panel size information.
ERROR STANDBY CAUSE
When TV set is powered off due to any anomaly detection, the past 5 causes will be recorded. You can confirm the time those causes occurred and character string in the adjustment process mode menu. (Page 28/29) The time is accumulated total after TV set is powered on, and the value corresponds to “Center Acutime” in the adjustment process mode menu. The code, character string and description for the standby cause are below. If no error has occurred, the code is 0 and the character string is “NO RECORD”.
