ComPair
5.4.1
Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
development on the European DST (service remote control),
which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair
has three big advantages:
•
ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how
to repair the chassis in a short time by guiding you
systematically through the repair procedures.
•
ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I
is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem areas.
You do not have to know anything about I
yourself because ComPair takes care of this.
•
ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can
automatically communicate with the chassis (when the
microprocessor is working) and all repair information is
directly available. When ComPair is installed together with
the Force/SearchMan electronic manual of the defective
chassis, schematics and PWBs are only a mouse click
away.

Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product.
The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial
(or RS232) cable.
For this chassis, the ComPair interface box and the TV
communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the service
connector(s).
The ComPair fault finding program is able to determine the
problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather
diagnostic information in two ways:
•
Automatic (by communication with the television): ComPair
can automatically read out the contents of the entire error
buffer. Diagnosis is done on I
2
access the I C/UART bus of the television. ComPair can
2
send and receive I
controller of the television. In this way, it is possible for
ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on
2
the I C/UART buses of the TV-set.
•
Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic
diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the
television is working correctly and only to a certain extend.
When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
2
C level) and

C commands
2
C/UART level. ComPair can
C/UART commands to the micro
the fault finding tree by asking you questions (e.g. Does the
screen give a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES /
NO) and showing you examples (e.g. Measure test-point I7
and click on the correct oscillogram you see on the
oscilloscope). You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g.
text or a waveform picture) that will bring you to the next
step in the fault finding process.
By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive
question / answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find
most problems in a fast and effective way.
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional
features like:
•
Up- or downloading of pre-sets.
•
Managing of pre-set lists.
•
Emulation of the (European) Dealer Service Tool (DST).
•
If both ComPair and Force/SearchMan (Electronic Service
Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs of
the set are available by clicking on the appropriate
hyperlink.
Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568
(Schematic/Panel) at the Mono-carrier.
–
Click on the "Panel" hyperlink to automatically show
the PWB with a highlighted capacitor C2568.
–
Click on the "Schematic" hyperlink to automatically
show the position of the highlighted capacitor.

How To Connect
1. First, install the ComPair Browser software (see the Quick
Reference Card for installation instructions).
2. Connect the RS232 interface cable between a free serial
(COM) port of your PC and the PC connector (marked with
"PC") of the ComPair interface.
3. Connect the mains adapter to the supply connector
(marked with "POWER 9V DC") of the ComPair interface.
4. Switch the ComPair interface "OFF".
5. Switch the television set "OFF" with the POWER switch.
6. Connect the ComPair I
the connector on the rear side of the ComPair interface
2
(marked with "I C" or for UART on the connector marked
"VCR") and the appropriate ComPair connector at the rear
2
side of the TV (I C or UART).
Note: Some chassis need an additional I
cable due to a different connector pitch!
7. Plug the mains adapter in a mains outlet, and switch the
interface "ON". The green and red LEDs light up together.
The red LED extinguishes after approx. 1 second while the
green LED remains lit.
8. Start the ComPair program and read the "Introduction"
chapter.
