REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

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 FLATRON M3201C COLOR MONITORS HOW TO ENTER THE, SERVICE MODE, SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS AND CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

 

LG M3201C-BAFE.A**LLC, M3701C M3701C-BAFE.A**LLC, M4201C M4201C-BAFE.A**LLC

There are some special components used in LCD monitor that are important for safety. These parts are marked on the schematic diagram and the replacement parts list. It is essential that these critical parts should be replaced with the manufacturer’s specified parts.

If the surface of panel becomes dirty, please wipe it off with a soft material. (Cleaning with a dirty or rough cloth may damage the panel.)

Do not apply AC power to this instrument and/or any of its electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat sinks are correctly installed.

Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES device.)



Block diagram


Description of block diagram

AV input selection circuit
1) AV(Video) INPUT SELECT : This section is composed of Video switching IC (CXA2040AQ_IC513) and peripheral devices.
Video switching IC(CXA2040AQ_U201) selects CVBS video or S-video and the signal is sent to Scaler IC(IC101).
2) AV Sync Detection : This section is composed of Sync Separator IC(LA7217M_IC509) and peripheral devices.
Av input selection block sends selected signal to Sync detection block then sync detection block identifies if AV signal is present or not. And this block sends this information to Scaler(Micom).
2. Component INPUT
Component input signal was connected from input jack to scaler directly.
3. RGB INPUT OUTPUT CIRCUIT
1) D-SUB RGB INPUT OUTPUT : This section is composed of RGB Input Output Jack(P503), Schmitt trigger inverter IC(IC507), OP-AMPs(IC510, IC511, IC512) and peripheral devices.
RGB input signal path was connected from input jack to Scaler directly. But scaler receives RGB Sync signal via schmitt trigger inverter IC.
RGB output signal was made by OP-Amp ICs. And this sends output signal to RGB output jack.
4. HDMI INPUT CIRCUIT
This section is composed of TMDS receiver IC(ANX9021_IC508), ESD protection diode(CM2021_D526, D527) and peripheral devices.
TMDS receiver IC receives TMDS signal via ESD protection diode. And it convert HDMI signal to digital RGB signal. And it sends to scaler.
5. RS-232C INPUT OUTPUT CIRCUIT
This section is composed of RS-232C IC(ICL3232C_IC503), and peripheral devices.
Computer and scalar(micom) was connected by RS-232C IC.

7. AUDIO DECODER
This section is composed of MSP4440K(IC804), NTP2000(IC805) and peripheral devices.
MSP4440K is processing audio signal(AV, Component, PC Audio and IIS).
Digital audio processor IC receives IIS signal from MSP4440K, and converts IIS to PWM signal.
This IC's output signal is sent to Audio Amplifier IC(TAS5122_IC802).
8. AUDIO AMPLIFIER
This section is composed of TAS5122(IC802) and peripheral devices.
Audio Amplifier's function is amplification of sound signal received from Audio Decoder.
Input Audio signal is amplified according to the DC Volume control curve.

Adjustment

All adjustment are thoroughly checked and corrected when the monitor leaves the factory, but sometimes several minor adjustments may be required.
Adjustment should be following procedure and after warming up for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Alignment appliances and tools.
- IBM compatible PC
- Programmable Signal Generator. (eg. VG-819 made by Astrodesign Co.)
- Oscilloscope.
- White Balance Meter. (CA-110)

DDC Data Write Procedure-Analog
1) Use this procedure only when there is some problem on Analog EDID data.
2) Run alignment program for M3201C on the IBM compatible PC.
3) Select EEPROM →Analog EDID write command and Enter.
4) This will write the Analog EDID data to EEPROM.
2. DDC Data Write Procedure-Digital
1) Use this procedure only when there is some problem on Digital EDID data.
2) Run alignment program for M3201C on the IBM compatible PC.
3) Select EEPROM →Digital EDID write command and Enter.
4) This will write the Digital EDID data to EEPROM.
