Need help calibrating

Well this the problem. a few months a go I had to call sears because the set would not turn on. They replaced two boards and and fix the problem but left geometry a little off. the repairman told me call him back in a few days for him to finish the calibration. well, I didnt I thought it was too easy to do and I grabbed hold of the service manual and changed alot of stuff. the set is now completely messed-up ( bowed letters,skinny people, a complete mess) I was hoping that maybe someone with the same set can get into his service menu and tell me the values in each of the submenus starting with all the values in "deflection" and son on... I know is much to ask but I do not have the money to have a professional come and do it.... thanks

You say that they replaced the Mainboard 2 times on this model? I had the same exact model and they came out and replaced the Mainboard and 2 other parts 4 times. Under the lemon policy warrantee at Bestbuy, I am now (finally) able to replace the TV with a Mitsubishi WD-65733. This TV is a "LEMON" if you can, "GET RID OF IT!" I understand your frustration completely and know exactly why you finally took matters into your own hands and tried to fix it yourself, it's because it's a piece of total "JUNK!"

Thats why the service menu is for the SERVICEPERSON! It tells you in the manual to always write down the values. Even if you get someone with another set, that could mess up your set even more as there is no "default" settings to these alignments. Even with the same exact set, same exact model, the settings could be way off for one but not for the other. I am sorry to say, if you cannot straighten this out, you have no choice but to call a pro to help you out. Good Luck

My screen turns green and no sound

This could be in the main processor board, or in the display substrate itself. The service rep would test by trying out boards until he gets to the fault. After board replacement he would check any recommended calibrations, and then return the set to the customer. If the set is more than a few years old, it may not be possible have new boards.

Error 7

Incline calibration is necessary when: the display shows ERR7, the drive board incline error LED ( LED5) lights or the incline has extended beyond its normal rangeThe goal of calibration is to synchronize the incline set mechanically and electronically. Mechanical calibration sets the incline motor pipe to the 0% position. This happens when the red line on the thin pipe is even with the end of the thick pipe. Electronic calibration sets the variable resistor (VR) value to the 0% position. This happens when the voltage across the VR blue and green wires is 1.20 VDC.
Readings of VR voltage (blue and green wires) should show around 1.20 VDC at the lowest position and around 3.80 VDC at the highest position. If the VR looses calibration or cannot be set to 1.20 VDC, replace the VR. If the incline motor gets voltage from the drive board but fails to operate, replace the incline motor set. If the incline fuse blows again and again, replace the incline motor set.

Touch screen did work 4 a few days,but its not working now.the rest of phone works

Touch screen problem

If your touch screen is not working, theres just 2 major causes of such, either a hardware cause which might be either the phone falling on a hard object or in water which could damage the sensor board and either the screen is malfunctioning and needs to be calibrated.

If you can access the menu of the phone, i will advice you calibrate the screen first before you send it to a repair shop. There is no updates to download for such problem as updating the firmware of the phone would do nothing but change the settings of the phone.

To calibrate the screen, you will have to go to the phones menu, go to settings, then you select the calibrate screen, it will show you some stars to touch and once you touch them properly, then your screen will be able to work effectively.

But if you cannot access the menu because of the touch, then i will advice you send it off for repairs, and what to repair on the phone is the sensor board.

Hope this helps you.

My touch screen quit working

Hello,

If the touch screen of your phone keeps working, then it means the sensor board of the phone is bad and need to be replaced, if you can access the menu of the phone, then you need to calibrate the screen first.

To calibrate the screen, you need to go to the menu, then you select settings, then you select calibrate screen then you follow the rest of the instruction from there on.

If calibrating the screen does not help you, then it means you have to fix the sensor board of the phone, if your information from the keypad reaches the screen, then it means you simply need to replace the touch sensor board of the phone.

Hope this helped.
Take care and good luck

We have tried everything to try and get the board to calibrate and can't get it to work any which way what should I do? It is the tony hawk shred board and game.

Be sure your board is a few feet away from any walls, furniture or other people.

Replace the batteries in your board (even if they were new).

If those didn't help, you can check the Answer Page specific to your platform:

I have a Sears Pro Form 730si. The treadmill

I believe E4 on ths 730si means that the speed of the motor the sensor is detecting is greater than the set speed. E2 would be the opposite. I believe there is a way to calibrate the speed. Look at the smaller motor controller board.

I own a Mitsubishi WS65869 it has not been working for a few months now. All I remember is shutting off one day a green blinking light started and does not turn on anymore. Can you give me some idea to...

Hey There,

It sounds like you either have a bad DM power board or a few caps (capacitor) are blown on your board. If you are comfortable with soldering then you will need to replace your Caps which are 1000uf 16V 105C and I would replace all of them ($1.25 ea). I found this great PDF online to help (this is not your model# but it expalins where and what your DM Power board is located) If not, Sears Parts carries DM Boards for your Mitsubishi - call in your Make/Model# and tell them you believe your DM power board has gone bad. The board should cost no more than $50-$70. Replace the board and let the TV blink for about 30-45 secs and it should turn on. If you decide to take it to an electronics shop, unless you know the owner, prepare to spend anywhere from $800-$1100..

Good Luck and Happy Holidays..

Power on problems

Having to press the power button multiple times before the set comes on is usually caused by low standby voltages in the power supply or bad connections on the printed circuit board. The "D" board is not your problem. Most likely there is bad capacitor in the 9 volt standby supply.
