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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION
1. An isolation transformer should be connected in the power line between the receiver and the AC line before any service is performed on the receiver.
2. Always disconnect the power plug before any disassembling of the product. It may result in electrical shock.
3. When replacing a chassis in the cabinet, always be certain that all the protective devices are put back in place, such as nonmetallic control knobs, insulating covers, shields, isolation resistorcapacitor network, etc.
4. Always keep tools, components of the product, etc away from the children, These items may cause injury to children.
5. Depending on the model, use an isolation transformer or wear suitable gloves when servicing with the power on, and disconnect the power plug to avoid electrical shock when replacing parts. In some cases, alternating current is also impressed in the chassis, so electrical shock is possible if the chassis is contacted with the power on.
6. Always use the replacement parts specified for the particular model when making repairs. The parts used in products require special safety characteristics such as inflammability, voltage.resistance, etc. therefore, use only replacement parts that have these same characteristics. Use only the specified parts when the mark is ^ indicated in the circuit diagram or parts list.
 7. Parts mounting and routing dressing of wirings should be the same as that used originally. For safety purposes, insulating materials such as isolation tube or tape are sometimes used and printed circuit boards are sometimes mounted floating. Also make sure that wirings is routed and clamped to avoid parts that generate heat and which use high voltage. Always follow the manufactured wiring routes / dressings.
8. Always ensure that all internal wirings are in accordance before re-assembling the external casing after a repairing completed. Do not allow internal wiring to be pinched by cabinets, panels, etc. Any error in reassembly or wiring can result in electrical leakage, flame, etc., and may be hazardous.
 9. NEVER remodel the product in any way. Remodeling can result in improper operation, malfunction, or electrical leakage and flame, which may be hazardous.
10. Touch current check. (After completing the work, measure touch current to prevent an electric shock.)
