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.

HOW TO UNLOCK_RESET - ANDROID MOBILE PHONES

HOW TO UNLOCK_RESET - ANDROID MOBILE PHONES

UNLOCK_RESET PROCEDURE
  On android phones you can activate a feature called pattern lock. This feature can be compared to a windows computer asking for password after the screen saver kicked in; only instead of a password you use a pattern. You get a screen with 9 dots and you draw a pattern of your choice with 4 of them. If you forget your pattern (or have kids that likes to play with phones) you will after 3 faulty attempts be unable to use the pattern to unlock it. Instead you are asked for your Google account and password (that is setup with the phone of course). This is where the problem starts. For many, many users providing the username and password won’t change a thing. for some people changing the password via a computer has worked but that is uncommon. Have no fear; there are solutions to almost everything.
Unlock android phones
1. Try entering null as password. (Together with your Google username)
2. Try entering your username without @gmail.com
3. Combine 1 and 2
4. Call yourself from another phone, answer, without hanging up press the home button, then menu button, settings, try to disable pattern-lock
5. Call yourself from another phone, answer, hang-up, directly after hanging up start pressing your buttons like a madman for <30-60 seconds ending with your home button (might take a while to get the timing right). go into settings and disable pattern-lock.
6.  Try the normal recovers password routine from gmail.com and start over from 1.
7. Perform a factory reset. you will lose all not-synced data (sd card will be left untouched).1-6 are possible workarounds, these doesn't work for everyone but can be worth a try to avoid factory reset.6.is what should work but hardly never does. 7-The factory reset always work.
End update
 In this case the solution is to make a factory reset (sometimes referred to as hard reset or wipe). This will erase all data on your phone (not on your sd-card). Your contacts and mails should be in sync with the Google servers, no problem there then. Downloaded applications needs to be installed again but there is a list of your previous downloads in the android market->my downloads. Other things though are lost if you haven’t backed them up manually with a 3-rd party application. Example on things you will lose: call logs, text messages, application settings.
This is the 3 step solution.  Factory reset your phone (links to android device manuals can be found below, it differs between devices)  Setup your phone just like you did the first time you unpacked it (use the same Google account if you want your old contacts back)  Restore any manual back-ups and install your previous applications from the my downloads list.  How do I factory reset? HTC leads the way and put this information in their manuals.
