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.

Applicable to UA43RU7100K, UA50RU7100K, UA55RU7100K, UA58RU7100K, UA65RU7100K, UA75RU7100K
Function Control Operation Test
1. Place TV in Power Standby
2. Check LED Status
3. If LED is OFF:
LED 1.7Vdc (pin 8 ) and VCC for 3.3Vdc (pin 3 )
If missing suspect Function Assy/Cable/Main board.
4. If LED is ON:
Switch Operation activates on screen display
If missing:
Key_Input 1 (pin 6 ) change to 0V with a command.
If wrong voltage or no change:
Switch for stuck or miss-operation.
5. Check IR operation with Standard Remote command changes.
6. Check SDA, SCL for effective 3.3Vdc. (after power on)
If missing suspect Function Assy/Cable Assy./Main Assy
Power: SMPS Standby: 43 inches – connector voltages.
50/55/58 inches SMPS connector voltages.
65 inches SMPS connector voltages.
75 inches SMPS connector voltages.
TV power standby test.
1. TV in Standby
 Check Standby LED Indicator.
2. If Not Lit:
 Check AC 120Vac Line.
3. If missing:
 Check AC120Vac Source/Power Cord.
4. If OK:
 Check resistance on SMPS FUSE after first removing AC power cord.
5. If fuse/s are open : replace SMPS.
6. If fus are OK:
  Standby: A13V (Always On) to Main Board.
7. If any missing remove the SMPS connector to the Main Board.
9 Check Standby A13V again.
 If OK replace the Main Board.
 If still missing replace SMPS.
SMPS Power On: 43 inches.
SMPS Power ON: 50/55/58 inches.

SMPS power ON: 65 inches.
SMPS Power ON: 75 inches.
Power ON sequence test.
1. Power TV On.
 Power_On/Off / POWER_ON (pin 8 ) 0.2Vdc (when off) changes to 3.3Vdc (on). [There is an approx 20 second delay from PS-ON to off condition when the TV is powered off, and approx a 2 minute delay when the TV is first plugged into AC Power]
2. If voltage error or no change:
9 Jog Function Control Test.
3. If OK replace Main Board.
9 All A13V supplies for approx. 12.7VDC (pins 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 )
4. If any wrong voltages, remove SMPS connector to Main Board.
9 All A13V again for 12.7VDC (pins 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 )
5. If OK replace Main Board.
6. If still wrong voltage replace SMPS.
    9 OD_ON/OFF (Over Voltage Detect) (pin 4 ) 3.3Vdc : Operating Normal.
7. If 0V or changing, an SMPS or Panel error exists. Perform Backlight Test.
9 BLU_PWM / PWM_BLU (pin 6 ) Backlight On/Off & Dim Control : 1Vdc – 3.3 Vdc depending on backlight dimming level for video.
