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.

SONY DVD PLAYER SMPS - PWB SRV2020WW - REPAIR HELP - SERVICE EXPERIENCE

SONY DVD PLAYER SMPS - PWB SRV2020WW - Repair Help -  SERVICE EXPERIENCE


The DVD player will start-up at first, No Display, and will shut down immediately. A "Tik-Tik-Tik" noise will be produced continuously from the SMPS board.  No response to any key buttons on the panel or with the remote control.
Checked the DC voltage across the main filter capacitor.  Found normal.
Checked all the other components on SMPS board. All the SMD transistors used is OK.  Checked all the diodes. OK.  Checked the opto-coupler . OK.
On through checking, the D212 {Zener Diode} was found leaky.
This diode can be located near to the capacitor C511 [I've marked it here]
Switching STR used is > MIP2E4D.  Opto-coupler > PC817.
Before connecting the SMPS to load [DVD player]; please be sure the [C103 & C104] ceramic capacitors connected to  ground, from AC input voltage.  Here During Leakage Current Hot Test; I've detected one among this capacitor was slightly leaky (In Meg-Ohm range reading).  I replaced the both before connecting it to player.
Note the type of fuse [F101] used with this SMPS.  It is rated at 1.25Amps 250VAC.  We can use any type of fuse in place, provided it should be of the same rating. No other restrictions.
LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT TEST
> Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.
> Connect a 1.5kΩ, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with 0.15µF capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as water pipe, as shown here.
> Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity, to measure the potential across the resistor.
> Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point.
> Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measurements.
The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. A leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may be used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2 milliamp. In case a measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.
