Tips For Defects
TVs IN GENERAL Defect: Perfect image and low or completely absent sound, but with
loud, constant or slight noise on channels without broadcasts, or when changing channels. Solution:
Sound FI coil. I suggest removing the coil, breaking the internal capacitor, replacing it, and soldering it back.
place of the capacitor, under the board, a 100pf capacitor, then regulate the coil,
increasing to maximum volume and obtaining the highest volume at the adjustment. Another case:
Audio frequency filter.
Television with a completely green, blue, or red screen, with return lines.
in some cases the device turns off afterwards. Solution: Generally, the defect consists of
accumulation of dust containing carbon monoxide, on the legs of the transistors, on the board
RGB. Being conductive, it causes a short circuit in the transistors' collector. Just clean them. Others
cases: Shorted tube, or lack of voltage emission at the base of one or more transistors of
RGB, chroma CI.
COLORFUL TVs IN GENERAL Defect: Turns on the device and then the image of a
the broadcaster appears perfect and deviates from the tune that follows, in some cases the defect occurs in
only one or a few channels. Solution: PIP and AFT coil(s), or just coil of
video, depending on the device, with altered internal capacitor. Some remove the(s)
coils and apply nail polish, but I advise breaking the capacitor(s) and replacing them.
the coil(s), soldering the capacitor under the board. Calibrate the coils and tune them.
automatic, if it does not memorize any channel it is because the coils are uncalibrated.
Be patient and calibrate it/them patiently. Generally, with two identical coils, the
Capacitors will be 68pf. This way, the risk of the defect recurring will be practically null.
Bizu: To know the value of the capacitor to be replaced, just carefully remove the capacitor.
measured it in the capacity, so there will be no doubts regarding their value.

Solution: Measure the 115 source when turning it on, if the multimeter needle goes above 120V then the

However, if the pointer does not reach 100V, then you must replace the fly-back.

Sometimes the 95V source runs out, sometimes the LED blinks, sometimes it does nothing. 150V enters pin 3 of

Brightness Problem. The television without an antenna, the screen was dark. I even changed
several components, including the luminance IC but I did not resolve the defect; talking with
another technical friend, he gave me the tip. The solution was to replace the electrolytic capacitor

Defect tips: Does not work, protection I shuts down. Solution: replace C666, which is located at:

It's not just the Sharp TV, but all of them that come with a remote control. The varicap uses the voltage of
5V, which is the same supply voltage as the processor. If the varicap is killing this
voltage the TV will not turn on. Usually, it is the PLL IC that shows a defect, causing the
drop of 5V voltage.
TV SHARP -TVC 2090H Defect: sound volume cut. When trying to increase the
volume, the same decreases as the vol + button is pressed, this happened both

Sharp TVC2199B
Defect: No high voltage. Measuring the power supply (pin 7) of the integrated circuit IC203 I found
only 7V where there should be 12V. This power comes from the transistor Q702 where it should enter
15V comes in through the collector and exits through the emitter. Since all the chopper's sources were normal.
so it couldn't be a problem with the primary of the power supply. I then replaced capacitor C731 and
the TV started working. Perhaps this defect also occurs in models that use the

CDs IN GENERAL
I would like to leave this tip that has helped me many times. I don't know if you already know it and
agree but.... It concerns the defect of CD equipment that uses the optical unit.
CDM12-1 (Gradient, Philips, CCE). It is the unit that when bought new comes
with the two motors... and has a very thin flat cable (made of plastic material)... In 90% of the
cases I encountered where the equipment does not read the CDs, sometimes indicating "no disc" or
the error is due to the internal dirt that remains in the duct between the mirrors and the leisure...
solving this problem often requires more than just cleaning the outer lens; it's necessary to wash the
unit!!! To do this, do the following: 1- remove the mechanism with the unit of the equipment( to
sometimes it can be removed without much disassembly); 2- remove the part that contains the unit
dismantling the mechanism, 3- put a little liquid detergent inside a cup
with water and immerse the unit inside; wait about 10 minutes and then dry with a cloth
soft; a hair dryer and a blower; 4- Reassemble carefully and do the test. I had many
positive results and I hope you have them too.
Hey guys, so I got a Philips CDP that uses the optical unit CDM 12.1 and it doesn't
it did not turn the spindle motor at all. It seemed to me that the defect was on the board but

improving the connection is soldering the connector pins). - Low source: Check during

just adjust the voltage on the trim-pot R4 to approximately 5.1 volts. - Unstable source: In this
the terminal keeps resetting when it's cold and takes a long time to start booting up;
replace capacitors C5, C7, and C11 (470 uF / 16 volts). Defect: No communication Explanation:
Hardly the cause of this defect is the 1488 and 1489 integrated circuits. If you have already replaced them and not

measure the voltages at the main interface connector; place the black lead of the multimeter on

pin 20 (must have at least +8 volts). In most cases of power failure in
