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.

SAMSUNG CS29A5HT8X/BWT - E2PROM (IC902) REPLACEMENT, SERVICE MODE, MEMORY DATA, WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

Samsung CS29A5HT8X/BWT - E2PROM (IC902) Replacement, service mode, memory data, white balance adjustment

Samsung CS29A5HT8X, CS29A5HT8X/NWT, CS29A5HT8X/VWT, CZ21A8VW8X/ELS
When IC902 is replaced, all adjustment data revert to the initial values.  So, all adjustment values when servicing should be readjusted.
 After IC902 is replaced, connect the AC power supply cord.
 Turn the power switch ON.
 In stand-by, warm up the TV for at least 10 seconds.
 Power on the TV.
White Balance Adjustment
Select STANDARD from the menu.
2. Input an 100% White pattern.
3. Enter the “Service Mode”. (Refer to “4-8 Service Mode”)
4. Warm up the TV set at least for 30 minutes.
5. Input a Toshiba pattern signal.
6. Enter the “Video Adjust1”.
* Adjust “Sub Contrast” so that Y (luminance) becomes 40 ft ± 3.
* Use “Red Drive” and “ Blue Drive” to adjust High-Light (x : 290, y : 300)
* Adjust “Sub Bright” so that Y (luminance) becomes 1.3ft ± 0.3.
* Use “Red Cutoff” and “Blue Cutoff” to adjust Low-Light (x : 290, y : 300).
7. Adjust CA-100 so that the final adjustment value can be fixed.
8. Use the Channel Up/Down (▲/▼) buttons to move the cursor on the adjustment modes.
9. Use the Volume +/- buttons to change the adjustment value.
Service Mode
To enter the “Service Mode”, Press the remote-control keys in this sequence:
If you do not have Factory remote-control:
Use the Channel Up/Down buttons to move the cursor in the adjustment parameters.
* When CRT, CRT PCB, FBT, E2PROM (sometimes MICOM) is replaced, the adjustment values should be controlled.
* After the Service adjustment is completed, Do not select “Reset” in the service mode menu.
(After above procedure is done, power is on initially and the “Plug and Play” will be operated.)
Memory Data:  (A) DEFLECTION (GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT VALUE)
 
 Be sure that all of the built-in protective devices are replaced. Restore any missing protective shields. 2. When reinstalling the chassis and its assemblies, be sure to restore all protective devices, including: nonmetallic control knobs and compartment covers. 3. Make sure that there are no cabinet openings through which peopleparticularly childrenmight insert fingers and contact dangerous voltages. Such openings include the spacing between the picture tube and the cabinet mask, excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and improperly fitted back covers. If the measured resistance is less than 1.0 megohm or greater than 5.2 megohms, an abnormality exists that must be corrected before the unit is returned to the customer. 4. Leakage Current Hot Check (Figure 1-1): Warning: Do not use an isolation transformer during this test. Use a leakagecurrent tester or a metering system that complies with American National Standards Institute (ANIS C101.1, Leakage Current for Appliances), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL Publication UL1410, 59.7). 5. With the unit completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into the power outlet. With the units AC switch first in the ON position and then OFF, measure the current between a known earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) and all exposed metal parts, including: antennas, handle brackets, metal cabinets, screwheads and control shafts. The current measured should not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Reverse the powerplug prongs in the AC outlet and repeat the test.
 
 1-2 Servicing Precautions Warning 1: First read the Safety Precautions section of this manual. If some unforeseen circumstance creates a conflict between the servicing and safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions. Warning2: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode. 1. Servicing precautions are printed on the cabinet. Follow them. 2. Always unplug the units AC power cord from the AC power source before attempting to: (a) Remove or reinstall any component or assembly, (b) Disconnect an electrical plug or connector, (c) Connect a test component in parallel with an electrolytic capacitor. 3. Some components are raised above the printed circuit board for safety. An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used. The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact with thermally hot components. Reinstall all such elements to their original position. 4. After servicing, always check that the screws, components and wiring have been correctly reinstalled. Make sure that the portion around the serviced part has not been damaged. 5. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (examples: metal panels, input terminals and earphone jacks). 6. Insulation Checking Procedure: Disconnect the power cord from the AC source and turn the power switch ON. Connect an insulation resistance meter (500V) to the blades of the AC plug. The insulation resistance between each blade of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (see above) should be greater than 1 megohm. 7. Never defeat any of the B+ voltage interlocks. Do not apply AC power to the unit (or any of its assemblies) unless all solid-state heat sinks are correctly installed. 8. Always connect a test instruments ground lead to the instrument chassis ground before connecting the positive lead; always remove the instruments ground lead last.
 
 Precautions for Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs) 1. Some semiconductor (solid state) devices are easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs); examples include integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the occurrence of component damage caused by static electricity. 2. Immediately before handling any semicon ductor components or assemblies, drain the electrostatic charge from your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging wrist-strap device. (Be sure to remove it prior to applying power this is an electric shock precaution.) 3. After removing an ESD-equipped assembly, place it on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil to prevent accumulation of electrostatic charge. 4. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges that damage ESDs. 5. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron when soldering or unsoldering ESDs. 6. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Many solder removal devices are not rated as anti-static; these can accumulate sufficient electrical charge to damage ESDs. 7. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective package until you are ready to install it. Most replacement ESDs are packaged with leads that are electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or other conductive materials. 8. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed. 9. Minimize body motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESDs. Motions such as brushing clothes together, or lifting a foot from a carpeted floor can generate enough static electricity to damage an ESD.
