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 LED BLINKING CODE MODE AND CIRCUIT DIAGRAM  


SELF DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE
The identification of errors within the FE-1A chassis is triggered in one of two ways :- 1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with continuous flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty. If a device is found to be faulty the relevant device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted)., non fatal errors are reported using this method. Each time the software detects an error it is stored within the NVM.

1. Turn on the main power switch of the TV set and enter into the ‘Standby Mode’.
2. Press the following sequence of buttons on the Remote Commander.
(ON SCREEN  DISPLAY) > (DIGIT 5)>  (VOLUME -) >  (TV)
ADJUSTMENTS
BEAM LANDING
1. Input an all white signal from the pattern generator. Set the Contrast and Brightness to normal.
2. Set the pattern generator raster signal to Red.
3. Move the deflection yoke forward and adjust with the purity control so that the Red is at the centre and the Blue and Green take up equally sized areas on each side of the screen.
See Fig.
4. Move the deflection yoke forward and adjust so that the entire screen becomes Red. See Fig
5. Switch the raster signal to Blue, then to Green and verify the condition.
6. When the position of the deflection yoke has been determined, fasten the deflection yoke with the screws.
7. If the beam does not land correctly in all the corners, use a magnet to correct it. [See Fig


CONVERGENCE
Preparation:
• Before starting this adjustment, adjust the focus, horizontal size and vertical size.
• Minimize the Brightness setting.
• Input a dot pattern from the pattern generator.
Horizontal and vertical static convergence
1. [Moving horizontally], adjust the H.STAT control so that the Red, Green and Blue points are on top of each other at the centre of the screen.
2. [Moving vertically], adjust the V.STAT magnet so that the Red, Green and Blue points are on top of each other at the centre of the screen.
3. If the H.STAT variable resistor is unable to bring the Red, Green and Blue points together at the centre of the screen, adjust the horizontal convergence with the H.STAT variable resistor and the V.STAT magnet in the manner indicated below. [In this case, the H.STAT variable resistor and the V.STAT magnet influence each other].
Tilt the V.STAT magnet and adjust the static convergence by opening or closing the V.STAT magnet.
4. If the V.STAT magnet is moved in the direction of the a and b arrows, the Red, Green and Blue points move as indicated below.

FOCUS
1. Receive a television broadcast signal.
2. Normalise the picture setting.
3. Adjust the focus control on the flyback transformer for the best focus at the centre of the screen.
Bring only the centre area of the screen into focus, the magenta ring appears on the screen. In this case, adjust the focus to optimize the screen uniformly.
WHITE BALANCE
G2 Screen Adjustment
1. Switch the TV set into AV mode [apply a cross-hatch signal].
2. Enter into the ‘Service mode’ and select ‘Picture Control’.
3. Enter ‘Picture Control’ and select ‘Personal’ press OK.
4. Return to ‘Picture Control’ menu and select ‘Reset’.
5. Measure the voltages on the 3 cathodes of the CRT, Kr,Kg and Kb using an oscilloscope with a 100:1 probe.
6. Connect the oscilloscope to the CRT cathode which recorded the highest voltage and adjust [RV702 SCREEN] located on the C Board to obtain a reading of 175V.
White Balance Adjustment
1. Input an all white signal from the pattern generator.
2. Enter into the Service Mode.
3. Enter into the ‘Picture Adjustment’ service menu.
4. Select ‘Sub contrast’ and adjust to 7.
5. Select the ‘Green drive’ and adjust so that the white balance becomes optimum.
6. Select the ‘Blue drive’ and adjust so that the white balance becomes optimum.
