Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

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.

PHILIPS – 5813 – 5833 SERIES - 32 AND 43 INCH LCD TV HOW TO ENTER THE SERVICE MODE, SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS, POWER BOARD SCHEMATICS AND ERROR CODES DIAGNOSE

Philips 32PHD5813-55, 32PHG5813-78, 32PHG5813-77, 32PHG5833-77, 43PFG5813-78, 43PFG5813-77, 43PFD5813-55, 43PFT5813-57, 43PFG5813/78-AUO  - TPM18.7L LA chassis, MTK5800 platform

Always respect voltages. While some may not be dangerous in themselves, they can cause unexpected reactions that are best avoided. Before reaching into a powered TV set, it is best to test the high voltage insulation. It is easy to do, and is a good service precaution.

PAL, NTSC, SECAM: Mains power: AC 110-240V +/-10%

BOM identification

It should be noted that on the European Service website, “Alternative BOM” is referred to as “Design variant”.

The third digit in the serial number (example: AG2B0335000001) indicates the number of the alternative B.O.M. (Bill Of Materials) that has been used for producing the specific TV set. In general, it is possible that the same TV model on the market is produced with e.g. two different types of displays, coming from two different suppliers. This will then result in sets which have the same CTN (Commercial Type Number; e.g. 28PW9515/12) but which have a different B.O.M. number.

By looking at the third digit of the serial number, one can identify which B.O.M. is used for the TV set he is working with. If the third digit of the serial number contains the number “1” (example: AG1B033500001), then the TV set has been manufactured according to B.O.M. number 1. If the third digit is a “2” (example: AG2B0335000001), then the set has been produced according to B.O.M. no. 2. This is important for ordering the correct spare parts.

For the third digit, the numbers 1...9 and the characters A...Z can be used, so in total: 9 plus 26= 35 different B.O.M.s can be indicated by the third digit of the serial number.

Identification: The bottom line of a type plate gives a 14-digit serial number. Digits 1 and 2 refer to the production center (e.g. SN is Lysomice, RJ is Kobierzyce), digit 3 refers to the B.O.M. code, digit 4 refers to the Service version change code, digits 5 and 6 refer to the production year, and digits 7 and 8 refer to production week (in example below it is 2010 week 10 / 2010 week 17). The 6 last digits contain the serial number.




Board Level Repair (BLR) or Component Level Repair (CLR)

If a board is defective, consult your repair procedure to decide if the board has to be exchanged or if it should be repaired on component level.

If your repair procedure says the board should be exchanged completely, do not solder on the defective board.  Otherwise, it cannot be returned to the O.E.M. supplier for back charging.


Small Signal Board (SSB) removal

Caution: it is mandatory to remount all different screws at their original position during re-assembly. Failure to do so may result in damaging the SSB.

Release the clips from the LVDS connector that connect with the SSB[1].

Caution: be careful, as these are very fragile connectors!

2. Unplug connector [2] .

3. Remove all the fixation screws from the SSB [3].

4. The SSB can now be shifted from side connector cover, then lifted and taken out of the I/O bracket.


Service Alignment Mode (SAM)

How to Activate SAM

To activate SAM, use one of the following methods:

Press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: “062596”, directly followed by the “INFO/OK” button. Do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence.

 Or via ComPair.

After entering SAM, the following items are displayed, with “SAM” in the upper right corner of the screen to indicate that the television is in Service Alignment Mode.

How to Navigate

In the SAM menu, select menu items with the UP/DOWN keys on the remote control transmitter. The selected item will be indicated. When not all menu items fit on the screen, use the UP/DOWN keys to display the next/previous menu items.

With the “LEFT/RIGHT” keys, it is possible to:

– (De) activate the selected menu item.

– (De) activate the selected sub menu.

– Change the value of the selected menu item.

When you press the MENU button once while in top level SAM, the set will switch to the normal user menu (with the SAM mode still active in the background).

How to Store SAM Settings

To store the settings changed in SAM mode (except the RGB Align settings), leave the top level SAM menu by using the POWER button on the remote control transmitter or the television set. The mentioned exceptions must be stored separately via the STORE button.

How to Exit SAM

Use one of the following methods:

Switch the set to STANDBY by pressing the mains button on the remote control transmitter or the television set.

Via a standard RC-transmitter, key in “00” sequence.

Note: When the TV is switched “off” by a power interrupt while in SAM, the TV will show up in “normal operation mode” as soon as the power is supplied again. The error buffer will not be cleared.

Remark: Under main menu “NVM editor”, choose “Service Data”, you can use the UP/DOWN keys to view and change the set Type number, the set Production Number or the 18AC of a part.(The NVM-editor still has the same function as before, alpha-numeric entry

How to Activate the Factory mode

To activate the Factory mode, use the following method:

Press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: from the “menu/home” press “1999”, directly followed by the “Back/Return” button. Do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence.

After entering the Factory mode, we can see many items displayed, use the UP/DOWN keys to display the next/previous menu items

How to Exit the Factory mode

Use one of the following methods:

Select EXIT-FACTORY from the menu and press the “OK” button.

Note: When the TV is switched “off” by a power interrupt, or normal switch to “stand-by” while in the factory mode, the TV will show up in “normal operation mode” as soon as the power is supplied again. The error buffer will not be cleared.

Customer Service Mode (CSM)

The Customer Service Mode shows error codes and information on the TVs operation settings.The call centre can instruct the customer (by telephone) to enter CSM in order to identify the status of the set. This helps the call center to diagnose problems and failures in the TV set before making a service call.

The CSM is a read-only mode; therefore, modifications are not possible in this mode.

How to Activate CSM

To activate CSM, press the following key sequence on a standard remote control transmitter: “123654” (do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence). After entering the Customer Service Mode, the following items are displayed. Use the Right/Left keys to display the next/previous menu items.  Note: Activation of the CSM is only possible if there is no (user) menu on the screen.

How to Navigate

By means of the “CURSOR-DOWN/UP” knob (or the scroll wheel) on the RC-transmitter, can be navigated through the menus.

How to Exit CSM

To exit CSM, use one of the following methods.

 Press the MENU/HOME button on the remote control transmitter.

 Press the POWER button on the remote control transmitter.

 Press the POWER button on the television set.

Software Upgrading, Error code and Panel Code

Software Upgrading

Ready for F/W Upgrade

1. Rename the software as “autorun.upg”.

2. Prepare a USB memory (File format: FLAT, Size: 1G~8G).

3. Copy the software to USB flash disk (root directory).

Note the version of this F/W before you change the software file name.

F/W Upgrade

1. Plug the USB memory on the USB port on the side I/O port of TV (Please connect to USB 2.0 port, not recommend USB3.0 port)

2. AC on (Power plug)

3. TV will upgrade automatically as detect the software.

4. Press OK to start software upgrade.

5. Upgrade in progress

1. After burning software, TV will restart.

2. Press “123654”, enter Customer Service Mode to check if the software version is correct

Caution: Please make sure that software upgrade is finished before unplug the USB and AC power.

Error Codes

Error codes are required to indicate failures in the TV set. In principle a unique error code is available for every:

• Activated (SW) protection.

• Failing I2C device.

• General I2C error.

The last five errors, stored in the NVM, are shown in the Service menu’s. This is called the error buffer.

The error code buffer contains all errors detected since the last time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left to right. When an error occurs that is not yet in the error code buffer, it is displayed at the left side and all other errors shift one position to the right.

An error will be added to the buffer if this error differs from any error in the buffer. The last found error is displayed on the left.

An error with a designated error code never leads to a deadlock situation. It must always be diagnosable (e.g. error buffer via OSD or blinking LED).

In case a failure identified by an error code automatically results in other error codes (cause and effect), only the error code of the MAIN failure is displayed.

How to Read the Error Buffer

You can read the error buffer in three ways:

• On screen via the SAM/CSM (if you have a picture).

– ERROR: 000 000 000 000 000: No errors detected

– ERROR: 013 000 000 000 000: Error code 13 is the last and only detected error

– ERROR: 034 013 000 000 000: Error code 13 was detected first and error code 34 is the last detected (newest) error

• Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no picture)

In this chassis only “layer 2” error codes are available and point to problems on the SSB. They are triggered by LED blinking when CSM is activated. Only the following layer 2 errors are defined:

How to Clear the Error Buffer

• By using the CLEAR command in the SAM menu

• By using the CLEAR command in the Factory mode:

• By using the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: “062599” directly followed by the OK button.

• If the contents of the error buffer have not changed for 50 hours, the error buffer resets automatically.

Note: If you exit SAM by disconnecting the mains from the television set, the error buffer is not reset.

Panel Code

Press the following key sequence on a standard RC transmitter: “062598” directly followed by MENU and “xxx”, where “xxx” is a 3 digit decimal value of the panel type: see column “Display Code” in below tab. After resetting the Display Code, restart the set immediately.
