REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

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.

LG 52LG50FD, 52LG50FD-SA SERVICE MODE ADJUSTMENTS ,SERVICE MODE ENTRY WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT ,ADC COMPONENT 1 RGB SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS


 

These adjustments are similar to 42LB7DF

Because this is not a hot chassis, it is not necessary to use an isolation transformer. However, the use of isolation transformer will help protect test instrument.
Adjustment must be done in the correct order. But it is flexible when its factory local problem occurs.
The adjustment must be performed in the circumstance of 25±5ºC of temperature and 65±10% of relative humidity if there is no specific designation.
The input voltage of the receiver must keep 100~220V, 50/60Hz.
Before adjustment, execute Heat-Run for 5 minutes.
After Receive 100% Full white pattern (06CH) then process Heat-run (or "8. Test pattern" condition of Ez-Adjust status)
How to make set white pattern
A. Press Power ON button of Service Remocon
B. Press ADJ button of Service remocon. Select "10.
Test pattern" and, after select "White" using navigation button, and then you can see 100% Full White pattern
* In this status you can maintain Heat-Run useless any pattern generator
Note  If you maintain one picture over 20 minutes (Especially sharp distinction black with white pattern – 13Ch, or Cross hatch pattern – 09Ch) then it can appear image stick near black level.

Factory Adjustment
Auto Adjust Component 480i/1080p RGB 1080p
Summary : Adjustment component 480i/1080i and RGB 1080p is Gain and Black level setting at Analog to Digital converter, and compensate the RGB deviation
Using instrument
- Adjustment remocon, 801GF(802B, 802F, 802R) or MSPG925FA pattern generator
(It can output 480i/1080i horizontal 100% color bar pattern signal, and its output level must setting 0.7V±0.1V p-p correctly)

You must make it sure its resolution and pattern cause every instrument can have different setting
Adjustment method 480i Comp1, Adjust 1080p Comp1/RGB (Factory adjustment)
• ADC 480i Component1 adjustment
- Check connection of Component1
- MSPG-925FA Ë Model: 209, Pattern 65
• Set Component 480i mode and 100% Horizontal Color Bar Pattern(HozTV31Bar), then set TV set to Component1 mode and its screen to "NORMAL"
• After get the signal, wait more a second and enter the "Ez-Adjust" with press ADJ key of Service remocon.
After then select "3.ADC 480i Comp1" with navigator button and press "Enter". It is automatically adjustment.
• You can see "ADC Component1 Success" message after Adjustment success
• Error Messages: When its adjustment is not correct, "ADC Component1 480i Fail" message displayed. If component is not connection "Component1 Not Connected", its format is not 480i then "Not Valid Format", its signal don’t out then "Check Signal Status" message displayed. These messages will be displayed just a second.

Necessary items before Adjustment items

ADC 1080p Component1 / RGB adjustment
- Check connection both of Component1 and RGB
- MSPG-925FA Ë Model: 225, Pattern 65
• Set Component 1080p mode and 100% Horizontal Color Bar Pattern(HozTV31Bar), then set TV set to Component1 mode and its screen to "NORMAL"
• After get the signal, wait more a second and enter the "Ez-Adjust" with press ADJ key of Service remocon.
After then select "4.ADC 1080p Comp1/RGB" with navigator button and press "Enter". First, it is automatically adjustment Component1.
• If adjustment is correctly finished, "ADC Component1 Success" message will be displayed. But adjustment is not correctly finished, "ADC Component1 1080p Fail" message will be displayed.
• After adjustment Component1 mode, move to RGBDTV mode automatically and RGB adjustment start.
After RGB Adjustment successfully finished, "ADC RGB 1080P Success" message will be displayed.
• If Adjustment doesn’t success, check conditions all of the adjustment condition and adjustment again. See "Error Messages" sentence.
• After adjustment finished, press "ADJ" key and exit from Adjustment mode.

EDID (The Extended Display Identification Data) / DDC (Display Data Channel) Download.
Summary
• It is established in VESA, for communication between PC and Monitor without order from user for building user condition. It helps to make easily use realize "Plug and Play" function.
• For EDID data write, we use DDC2B protocol.


Adjustment Color Temperature(White balance)
Using Instruments
• Color Analyzer: CA-210 (CH 9)
- Using LCD color temperature, Color Analyzer (CA-210) must use CH 9, which Matrix compensated (White, Red, Green, Blue compensation) with CS-2100. See the Coordination bellowed one.
• Auto-adjustment Equipment (It needs when Autoadjustment – It is availed communicate with RS-232C : Baud rate: 115200)
• Video Signal Generator MSPG-925F 720p, 216Gray (Model: 217, Pattern 78)
Connection Diagram (Auto Adjustment)
• Using Inner Pattern

Write HDMI EDID data
• Using instruments
- Jig. (PC Serial to D-Sub connection) for PC, DDC adjustment.
- S/W for DDC recording (EDID data write and read)
- D-sub jack
- Additional HDMI cable connection Jig.
• Preparing and setting.
- Set instruments and Jig. Like pic.5), then turn on PC and Jig.
- Operate DDC write S/W (EDID write & read)
- It will operate in the DOS mode.

For write EDID data, setting Jig and another instruments


White Balance Adjustment
If you can’t adjust with inner pattern, then you can adjust it using HDMI pattern. You can select option at "Ez-Adjust Menu – 7. White Balance" there items "NONE, INNER, HDMI". It is normally setting at inner basically. If you can’t adjust using inner pattern you can select HDMI item, and you can adjust.
In manual Adjust case, if you press ADJ button of service remocon, and enter "Ez-Adjust Menu – 7. White Balance", then automatically inner pattern operates. (In case of "Inner" originally "Inner" will be selected.
• Connect all cables and equipments.
• Set Baud Rate of RS-232C to 115200. It may set 115200 orignally.
• Connect RS-232C cable to set
• Connect HDMI cable to set
• Select LA75A Chassis at Adjustment equipment, and adjust.

RS-232C Command (Commonly apply)

White Balance Adjustment (Manual adjustment)

• Connect D-Jack AV jack test equipment.
• Turn on Auto-controller (GWS103-4)
• Start Auto GND test.
• If its result is NG, then notice with buzzer.

- GND: 1.5KV/min at 100mA
- Signal: 3KV/min at 100mA
• Test time: just 1 second.
• Test point
- GND test: Test between Power cord GND and Signal cable metal GND.
- ESD test: Test between Power cord GND and Live and neutral.
• Leakage current: Set to 0.5mA(rms)
