Main Supply
1. Replace FET 7504 and zener 6505.
2. Disconnect the SSP panel.
3. Short B and E of TS7529, in order to put the Main Supply
in "on"-mode (TS7529 is blocking then).
Caution: To prevent that R3403 and TS7443 will be
damaged, first disable the HW-protection of the
deflection circuit. Therefore, short-circuit C2642 on the
LSP (diagram A4).
4. Attach a load of 500 Ω to the V_BAT capacitor C2515 (the
supply can not work without a minimum load).
5. Use a variac, and slowly increase the V_MAINS. Measure
over sensing resistors R3514//15, if a nice sawtooth
voltage becomes available.
6. Also, measure the V_BAT. This may never exceed +141 V.
If it does, there is something wrong in the feedback circuitry
(e.g. regulator 7506).
Note: Be careful when measuring on the gate of FET TS7504.
This circuitry is very high ohmic and can easily be damaged

Software Downloading
In this chassis, you can upgrade the software via ComPair.
You can find more information on how this procedure works in
the ComPair file. It is possible that not all sets are equipped
with the hardware, needed to make software upgrading
A02E Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
Repair tip
Measure circuitry (see diagram A2). Start at test-point A19.When the Mains switch is "on", this voltage must always be
available.
You have no picture, so: read the error buffer via ComPair (error buffer is accessible when set is in protection, ComPair-
file will guide you to this). Read the blinking LED information via standard remote command mute-06250x-ok. Or you
read the error code sequence via standard remote command mute-062500-ok. When you have found the error, check
the circuitry related to the supply voltage and I2C-communication or the circuitry that triggers the protection.
As processor cannot communicate with one of the 2 busses it the standby-LED spontaneously starts blinking 8-8-8-etc
or 9-9-9-etc... If in the error buffer somewhere is an error 8 or 9, these will have the highest priority starting the mentioned
blinking. Measure dependent of the error on the I2C-bus which device is loading the bus (use the I2C-overview)
As the uP cannot communicate with the NVM I2C bus, it spontaneously starts blinking 13-13-13-etc. Note: when there
is no access to the NVM, a lot of picture setting can go wrong.
Possible causes: V_BAT is shorted (caused by short circuited line transistor 7421), the sound winding is shorted
(amplifier is shorting the power supply lines), or D6514 is shorted (due to a too high V_BAT). Remove excessive load,
to see what causes the failure, or check feedback circuit. See repair tip "Main Power Supply" (supply needs a minimal
load).
If e.g. V_BAT is only about 90 V, it is possible that the regulator IC (7506) is defective.
In case the set does react on a local keyboard operation, you must check the RC-receiver circuitry (diagram J).
Check RESET-circuitry (IC7581 on diagram B11). Check the level on line "DEGAUS" when you switch the set "on".
Signal must be low initially and go to high after approx. 12 s.
Measure test points on diagram A5.
Probably a bad connection from LSP connector 1424 to CRT connector 1424 (diagram F), or an interruption of the
200 V supplies line (e.g. R3341 on circuit F1 is interrupted).
Re-align the "FOCUS" potmeter on the Line Output Transformer, or check the SCAVEM circuitry on the CRT-panel
(diagram F). It is also possible that the DAF circuitry is defective (see diagram I). Check the V_dc values.
Investigate whether there is an error code present in the error buffer. In case there is one, check the I2C-bus and/or
supply lines (see overview supply lines). Measure and check signal path Tuner-MPIF-ADOC-RGB amplifier. In case it
is a geometry issue, check on diagram A4 opto-coupler 7482, OpAmps 7440/7450 and the Frame circuitry alignments
or a possible corrupted NVM (IC7525 on diagram B11).
Check circuitry around IC7730 on diagram B13.
Check, with a multi-meter, whether transistor TS7445 is well functioning. (diagram A3).
When no symptom or error code leads you to a specific circuitry, use the supply lines overview (see supply lines
overview), for a quick scan of all supply lines.
(first connect ground to measuring equipment, than measure
the gate).
5.8.6
Frame Deflection
Caution: When the Frame Deflection circuitry is suspected,
one must be careful. Because there is a DC-voltage on the
frame deflection, the beam current could damage the CRT
neck, leading to a defective CRT.
To prevent this from happening, you must:
1. Interrupt the resistors 3403 and 3404 on the CRT panel
(diagram F), in order to remove the "filament" voltage from
the tube (no beam current, so no chance of destroying the
CRT).
2. Interrupt resistor 3403 on the LSP (diagram A4) to disable
the "SUP-ENABLE" line.
3. Measure with a multi-meter, or better with an oscilloscope,
the functionality of the Frame stage.
4. After you have found the cause, exchange the defective
component (e.g. TDA8177), and re-solder the interrupted
resistors.
possible. To speed up the programming process the firmware
of the ComPair interface can be upgraded. See paragraph
"How To Order" for the order numbers.
