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.

SHARP LC-M3700 - LC-M3710 - WIDE LCD MONITOR - ADJUSTING PROCEDURE TO EACH SECTION



TO ENTER THE PROCESS ADJUST MODE
Caution: Take great care not to allow the customer to know the method of entering the process adjustment mode described below. If the setting in the process adjustment mode is changed indiscriminately, an unrecoverable error may be caused.

MAIN PROCESS
  • Using the remote control or main body switch, put the unit in a standby state. (The power LED is "Red".)
  • Press the "MAIN POWER" button to turn off the power.
  • Press the "POWER" button on the display section to turn off the power.
  • While pressing the "INPUT" and "MENU" keys on the main body side together, press the "MAIN POWER" switch on the main body to turn on the power.
  • If a display such as "1/16" and "N358" is shown in blue characters on one line at the top of the screen several seconds later, the process adjustment mode has been entered. Pressing any of the cursor UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT keys will display the process adjustment items.
  • If you fail to enter the process adjustment mode (the same display as in the case of normal startup appears), repeat the above-described steps again.
MONITOR PROCESS

  • Using the remote control or main body switch, put the unit in a standby state. (The power LED is "Red".)
  • Press the "MAIN POWER" button to turn off the power.
  • Press the "POWER" button on the display section to turn off the power.
  • While pressing the "INPUT" and "UP" keys on the main body side together, press the "MAIN POWER" switch on the main body to turn on the power.  It is also possible to enter the monitor process mode by setting "KOUTEI CHANGR" on the last line of the first page of the main process mode to MONITOR with the VOL +/- key and pressing the ENTER key. To switch from the monitor process mode to the main process mode, set "KOUTEI CHANGR" on the last line of the first page of the monitor process mode to MAIN and press the ENTER key.
KEY OPERATION

MENU: Used to move up by one line.
RETURN: Used to move down by one line.
VOL +/-: Used to change the setting on the selected line (+1/-1).
Cursor UP/DOWN: Used to scroll by page (Previous/Next).
Cursor RIGHT/LEFT: Used to change the setting on the selected line (+10/-10).
INPUT: Used to change the input (INPUT1→INPUT2→INPUT3→PC).
ENTER: Used to execute the function.
READING OF PROCESS ADJUSTMENT VALUES
The adjustment values set at the factory before shipping are stored on the main PWB of this unit (not covering all the items in the process menu). In repairing the unit, if only replacing the PCI/F unit solves the problem, you can read the stored adjustment values and therefore all you do is to adjust some items only.
TO READ THE STORED EX-FACTORY ADJUSTMENT VALUES[backup data]
  • Select (page7) EEPROM RECOVER, set it from "OFF" to "ON" with the "VOL" key, and then press the "ENTER"key. If "error" is displayed, you have failed to read the data and therefore have to adjust all the items.
  • Adjustments required after reading the stored ex-factory adjustment values (when the data is read successfully)
