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.

  1. Connect both pins (81) and (82) of IC2001 (microprocessor) to GND, and turn on the power.
  2. Make sure the model number "A629" is selected. *Note: This setting cannot be changed.
  3. Make sure "13" (LC-13B8U), "15" (LC-15B8/B9U) (inches) is selected for the screen size. [Note: This setting cannot be changed.]
PUBLIC MODE SETTING
There are two ways to get the public mode setup screen displayed.
Press the "INPUT" and "VOL (+)" keys on the set at once and turn on the power.
Get the password input screen displayed.
Procedure
  • The input starts with the leftmost digit.
  • Use the numeric keys [1] thru [9] and [10/0] keys on the remote controller.  The other keys are not acceptable.
  • With a numeric-key input, "–" will change to " ". The input position will move one digit to the right.
  • With all the 3 digits entered, the password will be verified.
The 3-digit password is now verified.
The password [0] [2] [7] provides for the public mode screen. (This screen comes on with whatever adjustment process settings.)
With any other passwords, the screen changes to the normal mode.

In the adjustment process mode, turn on "PUBLIC MODE". 
Also press the "CH [Up] and "VOL (+)" keys on the set at once and turn on the power.

TO EXIT PUBLIC MODE
There are the following ways to quit the public mode setup screen.
  1. Turn off "PUBLIC MODE" in the adjustment process mode.  [This way alone is not for quitting the setup screen, but for quitting the mode itself.]
  2. Turn off the power with the "POWER" key. ["PUBLIC MODE" stays on in the adjustment process mode.]
  3. Select "ENTER". ["PUBLIC MODE" stays on in the adjustment process mode.]
  4. Move the cursor to "RESET" and press the "FLASHBACK" key. (Back to the normal mode screen) [The settings will be back to the factory ones.]
PUBLIC MODE SETTING VALUES
  • With the factory settings made, the public mode settings get initialized. (The adjustment process remains intact.)
PUBLIC MODE MENU

Setup procedure
  • To move the cursor up and down, use the "cursor UP/DOWN" key (remote controller) and "CH [Up | Dn] key (remote controller and set).
  • To change the settings, use the "cursor RIGHT/LEFT" key (remote controller) and "VOL (+)/(–)" key (remote controller and set).
  • To save new settings, keep the cursor at "Enter" and use the "cursor RIGHT/LEFT" key (remote controller) and "VOL (+)/(–)" key (remote controller and set).
