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.

Restriction level can be determined by using other items on menu namely Volume Limit, Panel Button, OSD Disable. In hotel mode, users can not reach channel table and install menu so they could not change any program information.
Last Status: Setting "Last Status" item to 'On' enable TV open with the closing status. Otherwise, if "Last Status" item is set 'Off' TV opens with standby status.
Volume Limit: Sets the maximum value the volume can have. "Volume Limit" can take values between 0-63.
Fixed Volume Enable: Enables (Fixed Volume Enable = On) or prohibits (Fixed Volume Enable = Off) the use of fixed volume value which is set by menu item "Fixed Volume Value". If Fixed Volume Enable is ON, volume cannot be set to a value other than the Fixed Volume Value.
Fixed Volume Value: Sets the fixed value the volume can have. If Fixed Volume Limit is ON, volume is set with the value here.
Headphone Direct Volume: Enables to could set via headphone volume dialogue the headphone volume level.  If it is changed to enable then V+/- keys will change HP volume and left/right option will change speaker volume unless there is any open OSD. If it is disabled it will behave as normal.  Volume control and HP volume control are displayed by volume slider menu.
Panel Lock: Enables (Panel Lock = On) or prohibits (Panel Lock = Off) the use of front panel buttons.
OSD Disable: Disables either only INSTALL menu or all menus, both in analogue and digital (IDTV) mode.  All Menus: All menus (MAIN, SOUND, PICTURE, SETTINGS, and INSTALLATION) are invisible.  OSD Disable = Disable Setup Menus: Only SET-UP menus are invisible.

Start up Position: Specifies the starting channel when TV is switched ON.
Teletext: Enables (Teletext = On) or prohibits (Teletext = Off) the use of teletext (or MHEG if available).
Copy To USB: Copy NVRAM data (service list, preferences, etc.) to USB device. On MB61 and MB60 all NVRAM data is stored in 8x32KB Flash files named as Flash0.bin, Flash1.bin ... Flash7.bin. When Copy to USB is called, those files are copied from TV to USB. Then they can be used for various purposes testing on another TV or testing/debugging on observatory etc.  Note that USB should be plugged before this operation.
Copy From USB: Copy from USB device data to NVRAM. Just the reverse operation done by copy to USB call.  Previously copied NVRAM files (Flashx.bin) are copied into TV. If there is no flash file or some of them are available on USB, the available ones are copied. If no USB is connected, nothing happens.
