REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

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.

HDMI HDCP Key Download
1>. HDCP Key Encryption
The handling of HDCP keys must be done in the most secure way. The HDCP keys purchased / delivered from Digital Content Protection, LLC are first
encrypted by MTK encryption software. Then the encrypted keys are stored in secure room or secure PC in production line.
2>. HDCP Key Downloading to Set
In production line PC, execute HDCP key programming software to load encrypted key data from secure room or secure PC to specific positions of set’s NVM via UART interface of MT533x chip.
3>. Test HDCP Key
Use QuantumData 802BT or equivalent instrument with HDCP test pattern to verify HDCP key loaded in the set. The “PASS” information will be shown in the lower center block of the screen when HDCP key is correctly loaded. Use DVD player Pioneer DVD player or equivalent DVD player with HDMI output to verify HDCP key loaded in the set. The video should be smoothly displayed when HDCP key is correctly loaded.
