Sony KV DR29M93 Trinitron Color TV – Service mode – Power and Deflection Circuit Diagram – LED Blinking codes

Sony KV-DR29M93 - RM-991 Hong Kong – Flat Trinitron Color TV – LED blinking codes – Reset – SMPS and Deflection circuit diagram
Color system PAL, PAL 60, SECAM, NTSC3.58, NTSC4.43
Television system B/G, I, D/K, M
SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The units have a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will automatically begin to flash.
The number of times the lamp flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/TIMER lamp flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will flash a number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the lamp will identify the first of the problem areas.
Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occurred if the screen displays a “0”.
STANDBY/TIMER LIGHT FLASH COUNT
+B overcurrent 2 times
+B overvoltage 3 times
V deflection stop 4 times
White balance failure 5 times
Horizontal Deflection Failure 6 times.
[One flash count is not used for self-diagnostic.]
STOPPING THE STANDBY/TIMER FLASH
Turn off the power switch on the TV main unit or unplug the power cord from the outlet to stop the STANDBY/TIMER lamp from flashing.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY
For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes off” that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurrences of failure for confirmation on the screen:
[To Bring Up Screen Test]
In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid succession as shown below:
Screen display => channel [5] => Sound volume [-] => Power ON.  [Note that this differs from entering the service mode (mode volume [+])]
Since the diagnostic results displayed on the screen are not automatically cleared, always check the self-diagnostic screen during repairs. When you have completed the repairs, clear the result display to “0”.
Unless the result display is cleared to “0”, the self-diagnostic function will not be able to detect subsequent faults after completion of the repairs.
Clearing the result display
To clear the result display to “0”, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially as shown below when the diagnostic screen is being displayed.
Channel [8] > 0
Quitting Self-diagnostic screen
To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the remote commander or the main unit.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
+B overcurrent [OCP] => Occurs when an overcurrent on the +B(135) line is detected by Q6610 and Q6609.  If Q6610 and Q6609 go to ON, the voltage to the pin3 of IC001 go to UP.  The unit will automatically turn off.
+B overvoltage [OVP] => Occurs when an overvoltage on the +B(135) line is detected by D6635 and Q6611. If Q6611 go to ON, the voltage to pin6 of IC001 go to UP. The unit will automatically turn off.
Vertical deflection failure => Occurs when an absence of the vertical deflection pulse is detected by Q6819 and R6832. Shut down the power supply.
White balance failure => If the RGB levels do not balance or become low level within 5 seconds.  This error will be detected by IC4301.  TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.
High voltage protector of Horizontal Deflection => Occurs when an overvoltage of horizontal pulse is detected by D6809 and IC6801.  If the voltage of anode D6830, Q6800 and D6825 goes to High, the voltage to pin34 of IC4301 go to UP. The unit will automatically turn off.

"RESET" FUNCTION
There are 2 ways to access to the "RESET" Function
a) By pressing "RESET" button on the Remote Commander.
b) By pressing "MENU" button on the Front Key Input and hold it down for 5 seconds.
Sequential to the resetting operation (either methods being used in No. 2), TV set would shut down once and automatically turn on again. The power-off duration is expected to be about 500msec. An OSD message, "RESET" tentatively will be displayed for 10 sec after IK status gets stable.  As a result, some items will be reset to an initial condition (shipment condition) whereas some other remains at the last selection by user.
[An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.]

LCD TV Repair Tips

Bush, Acer, Changhong, Sony, Philips, Goodmans, Sharp, JVC and more.
Wharfedale LCD3210AF Chassis 17MB116 LCD TV Starts-up, backlight came after that switches off immediately.
Starts-up, backlight came after that switches off immediately.  Runs ok when inverter board is externally supplied with 24v.
> Replace C877 and C878 (15nf/630v) between heatsink of switching transistor and larger transformer on the primary side of the PSU.
Vizio VO42LFHDTV10A LCD TV
Green distortion in the picture.
> If PSU secondary side voltages OK. Check & clean contacts of ribbon cables coming from control board.

GOODMANS GTV32W22HD AVZOOO Chassis LM
Dark picture. OSD bounces
> Replace C2042 and C2044 (680uf) in PSU.

Changhong LT32700 LCD TV
TV stuck on standby mode.
After the AC power supply to the TV, standby LED light on with yellow color. When press the power on switch or remote control power on, the TV still remain the same yellow color LED light and can’t start-up.
> Check the PSU output, their standby 5V is present but no any POWER_ON signal present. Checking their main board voltage regulator IC output and found U1 (LM1084-2.5) output voltage as 4V! Actually it should be output 2.5V instead of 4V. After replace U1 the TV is working.

Changhong LT2612 LCD TV (T-con: SVA 260PW023S)
No Display and the screen full of Vertical color lines
> Normally this type of TV symptom was causing by the T-CON board or LCD panel. This LCD Tv using SVA 260PW023S T-CON board. Check the T-con board Vcc voltage input had 5V, and the AVDD had 3.3V. The lcd panel driving voltage VGH & VGL are nothing. Suspect their DC-DC circuit lines having problem. Check the VGH line with GND with ohm range, it had 300 ohm only. But VGL line with GND had above 36K ohm! So suspect the VGH circuit line filter capacitor leakage. Found three SMD chocolate color filter caps on the VGH line and two of three filter caps were leakage, another good one got 3.3uF. Because of they are three same size and color filter caps, so using one normal electrolytic capacitor 10uF/50V to replace it. Power on the TV their display is back to normal.

Changhong LT24720FX LCD TV
Display poor image with whitish tail or ghosting
> Normally this type of symptom was causing by the T-CON board or LCD panel. So starting testing their T-CON board voltage and found that VGH voltage has 2.3V only. The correct VGH voltage for this T-Con board should be about 25V. At the same time found a burnt component on the T-con and the location is R100. That’s mean it is a burnt resistor and can’t saw any value there. Using multimeter ohm range to checking the R100 pin ohm values to GND (ground) is about +/- 500K ohm. This is let us know, the R100 position not because of other components short circuit and causing it burnt. Use a 1M ohm variable resistor (VR), starting from the highest ohm first and then slowly decreases the ohm values until the VGH reach 25V and the display also change to normal. So check on that VR and found it is about 100K ohm, after that changed a SMD resistor with values 100K ohm to R100. The VGH line got 25V now and the display image also back to normal now. The TV problem solved.

HDMI Connectivity Issues: No Sound or No Display When Turned On
In some cases, when connected via HDMI to an external audio amplifier or set top box an interruption to the sound and display may result when the TV us turned off and back on. This may occur due to current leakage from the HDMI-SW IC VHISII9287+-1Q on the mainboard.
> When the TV set requires service due to the above mentioned symptom, replace C1614 (0.1uF, 104 ceramic capacitor) on the mainboard with a 1K ohm1/16W resistor to reduce the leakage effect or just replace the main board.
Sharp LCD-37GA5 LCD TV
Stuck in Standby mode.
The LED light lit with Red color and its show on standby mode. Even press the power on button or using remote control also cannot power up the TV.
> After testing the PSU board, their standby 5V present and BL_ON signal (3.16V) was sent from main board to inverter board. And then their main chipset, Vcc voltage, clock or crystal waveform and reset circuit all normal, so that’s mean their main chipset is working properly. But their POWER_ON signal is missing and not present on the switch transistor to drive the RL701 to start-up the PSU.
From the previous experience, if all section in good condition but still no start-up, then it could be their MCU chipset or external flash memory (or their firmware corrupted) defective. Because of the Sharp LCDTV have lots of this problem was causing by their flash memory firmware corrupted. So checking the flash memory firmware first and found it was in IC3001 (L64) position. After solder it out, using an ISP programmer to backup their original firmware first. In case it is not the flash memory problem, then you can program it back to original version firmware. After that, find a correct version & working firmware and using the ISP programmer to program it into the L64 flash memory IC. Solder back this L64 flash memory into the mainboard. Power on this Sharp LCD-37GA5 LCD TV and it is working perfectly now! Problem solved and confirmed it was the firmware corrupted till it can’t start-up the power supply.

Sony KLV-32G480A LCD TV
No Display but sound ok and backlight working.
The screen has a “TV” character on the screen but no display, just black screen.
> Since this LCD TV sound and backlight ok, so the problem should be on the mainboard. Using volt meter testing the T-CON board Vcc line and it has 12V there. So the problem could be the mainboard Scaler IC, MCU, Flash memory, EERPOM or T-CON board. After testing the Scaler IC & MCU corresponding circuits like reset, Vcc and crystal all looking well. So try to check the flash memory & eeprom IC. Found these ICs were beneath of the mainboard. The IC3001 is 25L08 flash memory IC and IC3002 is 24C64 eeprom IC. So start the easy one, remove IC3002 (24C64) and using programmer to save their original data first and then erase this eeprom IC till it empty and all show “FF” on the programmer software. Solder 24C64 eeprom IC back to mainboard and power on the LCD TV. The TV screen can show a perfect display now and problem solved.
