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.

DIGITAL STEP METER ELECTRIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

 This circuitry measures the distance walked during a walk. The hardware is located in a small box placed in your pants pocket and the display is conceived as follows: The leftmost display D2 (the most significant digit) shows 0 to 9 km. and its point is always further to separate km. from hm. The rightmost display D1 (least significant digit) shows hundreds of meters and its point lights up after every 50 meters walk. The beeper (excluded) signals every unit count, repeating every two steps.


A normal step has been calculated to cover about 78 centimeters, so the LED signaling 50 meters lights up after 64 steps (or 32 mercury switch operations), the display shows 100 meters after 128 steps and so on. When the battery is low, the display lights up only when requested by pressing P2. Accidental resetting of the counters is ruled out because both buttons must work together to reset the circuit. 


Obviously this is not a precision meter, but its degree of approximation has been found to be good for this type of device. In any case, the most important thing to do is to properly place the mercury switch inside the box and set its degree of tilt. IC1A and IC1B form a monostable multivibrator, providing some degree of freedom from excessive bounce of the mercury switch. Consequently, a pure square pulse is fed to IC2, which is divided by 64. Q2 controls the point segment of LED D1 every 32 pulses counted by IC2. Either IC3 and IC4 divide by 10 and control the displays.

 P1 resets the counters and P2 turns on the displays. IC1C generates a rectangular audio frequency, which is switched on for a short time with each monostable count. Q1 turns on the piezo sounder and SW2 allows you to mute the beeper.
