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.

TOSHIBA 37AV502U LCD TV – SERVICE MODE PROCEDURE, FIRMWARE UPDATE, SMPS ELECTRIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM, TROUBLESHOOTING, WIRING DIAGRAMS

 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 non-metallic control knobs, insulating covers, shields, isolation resistor-capacitor network, etc.
4. Always keep tools, product components, etc. away from children as these items may cause injury.
5. Depending on the model, use an isolation transformer or wear suitable gloves when servicing with the power on.
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 in-flammability; 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. Part mounting and wire routing should be the same as that used originally. For safety purposes, insulating materials such as isolation tubes or tape are sometimes used and printed circuit boards are sometimes mounted floating. Also make sure that wiring is routed and clamped to avoid parts that generate heat or use high voltage. Always follow the manufactures wiring routes / dressings.
8. Always ensure that all internal wirings are in accordance before re-assembling the external casing after a repair is 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. Remodelling can result in improper operation, malfunction, electrical leakage, or flame, which may be hazardous.
10. Always perform an AC leakage current check on the exposed metallic parts of the cabinet such as antennas, terminals, screw heads, metal overlays, control shafts, etc. to be sure that the set is safe to operate without any danger of electrical shock before returning the set to the customer.

Firmware update

Firmware updating for this chassis family is accomplished via a USB port located on the rear of the unit. It is designated as “Service” and is located between the HDMI and PC audio input jacks.

The factory mode, necessary adjustments, and update procedures shown below can be accessed in this unit using the supplied remote control transmitter.  To access the factory mode, you must press “Left Arrow (<), Exit, Enter” in sequence on the remote transmitter. The mode can be exited by pressing exit or simply turning the unit off.
