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.

SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
If an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY LED flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the LED will identify the first of the problem areas. Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred.

SONY TV SERVICE TIPS
SONY KV32XBR35
SHUT DOWN 
Unit will shut down each time the Remote
headphones circuit is turned on.
SOLUTION
Unit has an intermittent short to ground on the IR12 volt line located at the output of IC202(3-4) located on the "A" board. This short was caused by a solder splace on that circuit
SONY KV32V16
SHUT DOWN 
KV32V16 serial 7089163 Unit will not stay on. Goes into shut down immediately after turn on. SOLUTION 
When HV comes up the signal at the Collector of the horizontal output transistor is normal. No shorts can be found in the power supply. PM501(1-810-061-21) & IC601. PM501 was to culprit in this case.
KV32XBR45
WEAK VIDEO
Sony KV32XBR45 Unit has a very faint picture But the OSD is fine. Problem shows up in the tuner and video input mode. Tech ordered Q401 but did not correct the symptom
SOLUTION
There is video at the base of Q401 but not at the emitter. Q401 measures 9 volts on all elements. Base must be 4.5 volts. Transistor is in cut off. Bases and emitter are the same 9 volts. Unit has open R617 a 680 ohm resistor.
