Microprocessor sofware version and teletext board compatibility.
The technical help line engineers have reported several cases where different fault conditions have arisen after the
replacement of the microprocessor or the text board, these have been either no teletext operation, no remote control
functions, the television will not come out of the standby mode or even a description of a tripping type fault.
In most cases it has been found that the cause of the problem is due to incompatibility between the microprocessor's software
version and the teletext board. If you find it necessary to replace either the microprocessor or the teletext board, the following
table will enable you to avoid any of the above-mentioned problems arising after replacing the retrospective devices.
Micro software version type: C9-20 Main chassis sub code: ICC9 280 Teletext PCB type no: DVT 9002
Micro software version type: C9-20 Main chassis sub code: ICC9 777 Teletext PCB type no: DVT 9002
Micro software version type: C9-20 Main chassis sub code: ICC9 270 Teletext PCB type no: DVT 9002
Micro software version type: C9F-25 Main chassis sub code: All Chassis Types Teletext PCB type no: DVT 9003
Identification of the microprocessor software version is via the last four digits after the part number of the IC, i.e. 10177300-
C9-20
The teletext board type number is printed on a white label, stuck generally on the component side of the PCB.
The main chassis identification number is silk screen printed on the component side along the front edge of the PCB ie. to the
left of the chopper power supply circuit.
Teletext access time - alternative memory device.
1: A problem which affects the access time and the data acquisition cycle for both fastext links and index pages on earlier
versions of the Teletext PCBs can be overcome by removing the memory device used at location IT03 and fitting an
alternative device at location IT02. After removing IT03, check the copper tracks for s/cs. Fit new memory device IT02,
check the copper track for s/cs.
The alternative memory device (HY53C464LS-80/LH2464-10) is available under part no. 46157900.
Note: Whilst handling the teletext PCB and the new memory device, ensure that the workplace is correctly protected against
static discharge and the equipment used conforms to the latest Health and Safety at Work Regulation.

Access to service mode

1. Switch TV on using on/off switch on set.
2. Switch to standby using handset.
3. Switch TV off using on/off switch on set.
4. Press blue text key on handset whilst switching TV on using on/off switch.
5. Enter service menu by pressing blue key. Menus: SETUP = TV settings
VIDEO = video adjustments GEOMETRY = Geometry adjustments
RESTORE--- This will retrieve the previous hex value in NVM if this has been altered during adjustment. It will not
return values if they have been stored.
ROM---- This will return NVM to default settings.
VOLT--- This must not be adjusted using +/- keys on handset but using +/-buttons on TV
VOLT Usys. Cathode DP61 154V=33" 29" 25" (4/3)

UHF/VHF head.
Two types of head have been used on this appliance: MTP MM-2014/01 (code 503TX0491) and MTP-4015F (code
503TX0491). The latter version has a grounding point between pins 3 and 4.
Production changes - Power supply circuit. Following components have been removed during production :
Diode DP58 (ZPD 30V)
Diode DP59 (LS4148)
On non-modified appliances, a loss at DP58 level may cause appliance to switch off at random.
Production changes - Control panel. On these appliances two types of control panel have been used:
Type one: Membrane control panel (part no.: 103TX1130) combined with following elements: board FCB9016 (part no.:
596TX3476); intermediate 10 key panel (part no.: 103TX1736); panel holder (part no.: 103TX2238).
Type two: Contactor control panel (part no.: 103TX3036) combined with following elements: board FCB9054 (part no.:
596TX4074); 8 way ribbon connector.
Method to be applied to check power supply is in low voltage.
Unsolder pin 3 from line transformer and check power supply secondary. Suspect DATA and CLOCK on IR01 pin 1 and
2:5Vpp.

General information.
. Year of manufacture of appliance : 1997-1998

After PSU was checked according to the info, protective circuits can be switched off (see below) Warning: various vertical
ICs <--> Cs.
If pin 19 of IV01 (STV 2160) is unsoldered, protective circuit (no. 3?) is put out of operation. If you bridge base and emitter
of TP69, protective circuit no. 2 is put out of order.

Working in safety mode.

IV01 communicates with IR01 via the data leads that a fault is present. Then the operating voltages pin 13: 24.5V, pin 33:
38.5V are present but crystal does not oscillate. Switch off protective circuit, unsolder pin 19 IV01. In the PSU LP44 can be
unsoldered then PSU works in pulse mode as in stand by. Then Usys is approx 127V.

Modifications - chroma circuit IV01.

In this position, two types of video processors were used successively:
Type 1: STV2160-AF or AG, CG (part no. 276TX4609) with a specific value of CV46(*): chip capacitor (10nF) (pin 20 of
IV01).
Type 2: STV2160-AK or DA, BK, CK, DK (part no. 276TX4848) with specific value of CV46(*): chip capacitor 33nF (pin
20 of IV01).
(*) An incorrect value of CV46 causes vertical instability of the picture. NB: The position of CV46 indicated in the technical
documentation ICC9 is the wrong way round.

Power supply circuit. Reliability of TP10.

This is improved due to replacement of transistor BUH713TH (part no. 270TX2463) with a new type BUV48CFI/TH (part
no. 270TX2757).
NB: Appliances manufactured now contain these modifications.
 3.

Power
Mains transistor TP10 fails repeatedly.
1: It is possible that CP13 has a loss of capacity or dry joints.
Change TP10 from BUH713 to BUV46CFI (10274170).
Power supply repair set 10268050.

Appliance does not start from standby, but pumps once.

1: IA01 (TDA2616, audio output stage) is defective.

Line output transistor TL19 failure.

1: Random failure of line output transistor TL19 for no detectable fault condition, could possibly be attributed to intermittent
failure of a diode at location DL61 type 1N4001. It has been found in production that this device can suffer mechanical
stress, problems which can arise are intermittent O/C or high forward junction resistance of diode.
In the event of either of these fault conditions occuring, the results are that the supply rail to the line driver stage will be
incorrect and as a result, the drive waveform to the base of line output transistor TL19 will be incorrect.
Detection of this fault condition is somewhat difficult so it is recommended that this diode be replaced as a matter of safety
and reliability of the line output device.
2: Replace DL64, DL65, DL66, DL67, DL68, DL69, DL70 CL63 and RL60..
3: Check IC (TDA8172).

CRT video drive IC failure.

1: to improve the reliability of the video driver integrated circuit IB01, type number TEA 5101A, further static protection
has been introduced in production by the addition of three BAV21 diodes allocated reference numbers of DB32, DB52 and
DB72 respectively. These devices are available from Ferguson under part no: 16007470.
It is recommended that this safety measure is incorporated after replacement of IB01, mounting of these diodes must be
carried out on the copper side of the PCB. Insulation must also be provided for both diodes and associated circuitry to
prevent accidental short circuits taking place in reassembly.
Also associated with this is Technical Bulletin T0008 (Static Protection for Video Processor IV01) please read and also, if
necessary, carry out this additional static flashover protection for IV01.

Video playback performance - designated VCR channel numbers.

The playback of pre-recorded video films, notably those which have been protected by Marcovision anti-copying signals, can
cause problems with line synchronisation, this can lead to picture disturbances at the top of the screen.
On the ICC9 chassis, VCR status has been assigned to channels 9, 19, 29, 39, 49, AV1 and AV2, on these channels, a fast
time constant is automatically set to ensure optimum performance with playback video recorder signals.
Should this problem be encountered, the simple solution is to retune the VCR to one of the above-mentioned channels and
designate this as the VCR channel or interconnect the VCR and TV by means of a scart lead.
