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.

SERVICE MODE POWER LED BLINKING CODE AND CIRCUIT DIAGRAM 


SELF DIAGNOSIS 

If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER 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/TIMER 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/TIMER 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. Results for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occurred if the screen displays a “0”.

Power does not come on.
No power is supplied to the TV.
 AC Power supply is faulty.

+B overcurrent (OCP)*

 H.OUT (Q506) is shorted. (A Board)
(20”/21” models only)
H.OUT (Q505) is shorted. (A Board)
(24”/25” models only)
•RGB Amp (IC1751) is shorted.
(CV Board)

Power does not come on.
 Load on power line is shorted.






I-Prot




4 times




+13V is not supplied. (A Board)
IC545 is faulty. (A Board)



 Has entered standby state after horizontal raster.
 Vertical defl ection pulse is stopped.
 Power line is shorted or power supply is stopped.



IK (AKB)

 Video OUT (IC545) is faulty.
(A Board)
 IC001 is faulty. (A Board)
 Screen (G2) is improperly adjusted.**


No raster is generated.
 CRT Cathode current detection reference pulse
output is small.








If a +B overcurrent is detected, stoppage of the vertical deflection is detected simultaneously. The symptom that is diagnosed first by the mircrocontroller is displayed on the screen.

Self-Diagnostic Screen Display
For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes out” that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurrences of failure on the screen for confirmation.
To Bring Up Screen Test
In standby mode, press buttons on the Remote Commander sequentially, in rapid succession, as shown below:
Display > Channel 5 > Sound Volume - > Power ON

Handling of Self-Diagnostic Screen Display
Since the diagnostic results displayed on the screen are not automatically cleared, always check the self-diagnostic screen during repairs. When you have completed the repairs, clear the result display to “0”.
Unless the result display is cleared to “0”, the self-diagnostic function will not be able to detect subsequent faults after completion of the repairs.
Clearing the Result Display
To clear the result display to “0”, press buttons on the Remote Commander sequentially when the diagnostic screen is displayed, as shown below:

Channel 8 > ENTER
Quitting the Self-Diagnostic Screen
To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the Remote Commander or the main unit.

+B overcurrent (OCP)
Occurs when an overcurrent on the +B (135V) line is detected by pin 72 of IC001 (A Board). If the voltage of pin 72 of IC001 (A Board) is less than 1V when V.SYNC is more than seven verticals in a period, the unit will automatically turn off.
I-Prot
Occurs when an absence of the vertical defl ection pulse is detected by pin 78 of IC001 (A Board). Power supply will shut down when waveform interval exceeds 2 seconds.
IK (AKB)
If the RGB levels* do not balance within 2 seconds after the power is turned on, this error will be detected by IC001 (A Board). TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.
