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.

PHILIPS HTS3201-12 HOME THEATER DVD PLAYER POWER SUPPLY BOARD SCHEMATICS, SOFTWARE UPDATE AND DISMANTLING PROCEDURE

 Power supply:

• Europe/China/Russia/India: 220-240V~,50 Hz

• Latin America/Asia Pacific c: 110-240V~,50-60 Hz

• Power consumption: 55 W

Subwoofer

• Output power: 150 W RMS (30% THD)

• Impedance: 8 ohm

• Speaker drivers: 165 mm (6,5”) woofer

• Dimensions (WxHxD): 195 x 265 x 265mm

Speakers

• Output power: 2 x 75 W RMS (30% THD)

• Speaker impedance: 4 ohm

• Speaker drivers: 1 x 63.5 mm (2.5”) full range

• Dimensions (WxHxD): 84.5 x159 x 80mm

Check the electrical DC resistance between the mains plug and the secondary side:

1) Unplug the mains cord, and connect a wire between the two pins of the mains plug.

2) Set the mains switch the “on” position (keep the mains cord unplug).

3) Measure the resistance value between the mains plug and the front panel, controls, and chassis bottom.

4) Repair or correct unit when the resistance measurement is less than 1M ¡.

5) Switch the unit “off”, and remove the wire between the two pins of the mains plug.

Be careful during measurements in the live voltage section. The primary side of the power supply , including the heat sink, carries live mains voltage when you connect the player to the mains (even when the player is “off”!). It is possible to touch copper tracks or components in this unshielded primary area, when you service the player. Service personnel must take precautions to prevent touching this area or components in this area. A “lighting stroke” and a stripe-marked printing on the printed wiring board, indicate the primary side of the power supply.  . Never replace modules, or components, while the unit is “on”
