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.

DIAGNOSING AND TROUBLESHOOTING LCD/LED & PLASMA TV BLINKING CODES

Blink codes are the auto diagnostic system in some TV Brands. Blink code can tell us the faulty section of the TV by the number of time blinking standby led light. When a system diagnose the fault in any section of the tv it turn the the tv on into standby/protection mode and displays the blinking.


Sony Blinking Code:
Following blinking codes behaviors may be different according to different models:
No Blink: Its mean unit is dead. Check VDR and Fuse is the Power Supply
Continuous Blinking: Problem in Jungle IC. Communication is broken
One Blink: Not used for mostly models
Two Time Blinking: 2 Blinks Error
  • Over Current Protection (OCP)
  • Excessive PFC Voltage
  • Low Voltage Protection (LVP)
  • Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
  • Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
  • Short Circuit in Power Supply Circuit
Three Time Blinking: 3 Blinks Error
  • Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
  • Loss of 12V (Open Fuse)
  • Defective Power Circuit
  • Defective DC Regulator
  • Audio Error/Speaker Connection Failure
  • Defective Audio Amplifier
  • Abnormal Audio
Four Time Blinking: 4 Blinks Error
  • No Vertical (CRT)
  • Video Signal Mute (CRT)
  • Balancing Error (Back-light Dimming) (LED)
  • Panel Balancer Error
Five Time Blinking: 5 Blinks Error
  • AKB Circuit or Video Out Fault (CRT)
  • HFR Error
  • T-Con Error
  • Panel ID NVM Error
  • Isolation of T-Con and Main board
  • Communication Error Between T-Con Processor and Main Board Microprocessor
Six Time Blinking: 6 Blinks Error
  • No Horizontal, No raster (CRT)
  • Panel Supply Failure
  • Defective Lamps
  • Panel Back-light Fault
  • Defective 24v Power Supply
  • Defective Backlight Inverter
  • Defective TV Microprocessor
Seven Time Blinking: 7 Blinks Error
  • High voltage shutdown (CRT)
  • Thermal Error
  • Fan Error
  • Excessive Ambient room Temperature
  • Failure of Temperature Sensor
  • Dust, Ventilation issue
  • Software Error
Eight Time Blinking: 8 Blinks Error
  • Audio Problem (CRT)

Panasonic Blinking Code:
One Time Blinking: 1 Blink Error
One blink of the power LED indicates a problem in the inverter circuit located on the LCD panel. The inverter board is not to be repaired in
the field. Therefore a replacement is required.
Three Time Blinking: 3 Blinks Error
Three blinks of the power LED indicates an over-current or over-voltage condition in one of the DC supplies of the AP board. The AP
board is repairable. Therefore the use of an ohmmeter and peak-hold voltmeter is required to determine the cause of the shutdown. An over voltage condition is definitely a defect of the AP board. An over-current condition may be due to a short circuit located in the AP board, A board, or the LCD panel.
Four or Six Time Blinking: 4 Blinks, 6 Blinks Error
The AP board is responsible for four or six blinks of the power LED. The DTV9V, and SUB_5V sources are produced on the AP board.
The MPU IC1100 monitors for their presence when the unit is connected to AC Power. A short or open circuit on the A board may also be responsible for their absence.
Five, Seven, or Eight Time Blinking: 5 Blinks, 7 Blinks, 8 Blinks Error
The A board is responsible for five, seven or eight blinks of the power LED. The MAIN +3.3V, MAIN +5V, and MAIN +9V
sources are all produced on the A board. The detection input pins of the MPU, IC1100, monitor for their presence.
Nine Time Blinking: 9 Blinks Error
Nine blinks of the power LED is due a short circuit in the audio output circuit (s) of the unit. The audio output circuit is located on the A
board. Confirm the status of the speakers. If defective, perform a replacement. If ok, replace the A board.
Ten Time Blinking: 10 Blinks Error
Ten blinks of the power LED indicates a malfunction of IC4200, the frame converter. This IC resides on the A board. Therefore ten blinks of
the power LED requires the replacement of the A board.


Panasonic Plasma Blinking Code:
All Panasonic Plasma TVs feature a protection circuit that will force the TV to shut down in case of a problem. The malfunctioning part can be identified by the numbers of blinks of the power light.
