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.

Method of software upgrading
Steps of software upgrading are as follows:
1. Select a serial connection wire and a VGA connection wire and then connect them by means of a patch panel;
2. Use a serial wire to connect the PC to the patch panel and set TV set to off state; Open the software upgrade file holder and double click
Based on the computer features, set up the serial port (COM Port). Select corresponding serial port (if it’s unable to FLASH WRITE, change to another port). Baud is selected to be 115200. Then select Reset Target After Download. Click FLASH pushbutton, it’s ready to run. For other settings, please refer to the Fig. Above (already defaulted by the system, normally no need to change). Switch on TV set the FLASH write program begins to run;
After FLASH write is over, push button “cancel” will become flash. Then shut the main power supply and it’s OK just switch it on again.
Note: Do not shut the power off or turn the TV set on during the FLASH write. Otherwise it may lead to no way for flash to rewrite.

LC-37K7 working principle analysis
RF signal produces composite color television signal through TUNER201, the signal together with AV1/SVHS(SVHS priority) and AV2 etc. are sent to U29 VPC3230D to decode and do switching selection. In addition to decode the selected video signal, part of the selected video signal is also sent to AV terminal and 21 line decoder U32 Z86229 which is exclusive to decode CCD/V-CHIP to decode. After decoded by U32, the signal will be sent back to U29 in the form of R G B and FB, then it will be added to the decoded picture and then it will be sent to U13 FL12310 in the form of ITU-R656 signal format of 8BIT to do line-by-line process. Send two ways YPRPB signal to U30 MST9883 through selection by N2 PI5V330 in order to do the A/D conversion. After this, the signal will be converted into YUV signal of 24BIT, send it to FLI2310 also.
After a series of procedure such as matrix, chroma and tint etc. by FL12310, the two ways signal will be converted into RGB of 24bit, then send it to the main processing chip U12 JAG-ASM. send RGB signal it to the main processing chip U12 at the same time. There has another signal which should be sent to U12 together with he above two kinds of signal that is: RGB signal of 24BIT produced by DV1 through U15 TFP403/501. Do the picture format processing for the three kinds of signal in U12. Firstly do the A/D conversion for RGB signal of VGA, then do the switching selection together with the other two kinds of signal. And then they will be converted into 1024*768 format through digital display processing such as OSD and GAMMA correction etc. output it in the form of 24BIT RGB signal. Send it to LVDS convertor U31 DS90C383A, then it will be converted into signal format which can be accepted by LCD screen namely 3 low-voltage differential signal and 1 clock signal, finally send it to LCD screen to do the picture display PWM of U12 can also be used to control the brightness of back light-source. Send SIF (the second IF) outputted by tuner to audio processor NA01 MSP3420; send YPRPB and audio signal of DVI to NA01 through switching selection by U34 HEF4052; Send AV1/SVHS, AV2 and audio signal of VGA to NA01 also. Firstly SIF will be done the switching selection together with another four ways of audio signal, finally volume control and sound effect processing will be done. Output left-right sound channel signal R/L. one will be sent to SRS sound field processor NA03 M62494 to do SRS processing and finally amplified by NA03 and NA04 TPA3008D2 to drive the speaker, one will be used to drive the headphone through NA02 TLE2142 and the last part will be outputted as R/L of AV OUT.
