This attachment was successfully due to the cooperation and support of people who helped me
to gain industrial aspects of the program could have given.
First of all, I would like to appreciate our Almighty God for the charitable time and strength,
aptitude and persistence for magnificently completing my filed attachment and report
compilation, I would have done nothing if it was not for his willpower. I wish to acknowledge to
UNIVERSITY OF RWANDA Administration for the facilities that they have provided to me and all
students in general in order to accomplish my practical training.
I cannot forget to thank all my teachers who gave me all practical and theoretical skills that
helped me to accomplish my daily activities during the internship.
I am really thankful to STAR TIME LTD COMPANY staffs, who allowed me to conduct my
internship in their company.
My thanks go to all engineers who kindly supported me during of my practical training with
regardless of the inconvenient that should have been caused by our poor experiment in
practical domain.
star time is Chinese telecommunication company that sells video and audio to
the peoples, now 2018 is working in 34 country in Africa and east Asia ,they
have two program of broadcasting digital terrestrial televion called DTT and
digital televion direct to home called DTH and electronics lab for repairing and
testing devices of customer before and after buys, in my internship star time
engineers show me, power switching mode design of almost all device, how
current is follow ,how we repair TV, decoder, types of TV, transmission using
DTT, transmission using DTH, installation of parabolic dish antenna,frequency
band for satellite and frequency of yagi uda antenna
antenna,transmitter,types of transmitting antenna, hardware device made
earth station of receiving transmitting antenna.
LIST OF TABLES

The main circuit of switching mode power supply as shown on the abo
2.9 stand-by-circuits
Standby power supply circuit is found in television power supply
Stand by circuit is active when television is “on”
2.10 POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
Power factor (pf) is defined as the ratio of real power (p) to apparent power(s)
.power factor correction is practice of raising the power factor in order to
allow power distribution to operate its maximum efficiency

Solution:
The problems occurs when tuner circuit and demodulation do not work
properly
.change crystal Y3 [20.48MHz]
.change the modulation power U12 [proper output 1.5v]
.change the demodulator upd6/541
.change sharp tuner: VA1TED6092
no audio or video or both1
Measure the voltage of audio IC [N601] ,if the power is not good, check and
change R621
.measure the resistance of audio IC [N601], if which pin of audio IC [N601]is
short ,change the IC
3 Craking
.the frequently problems with cracking is when the main board or particular
stage not receiving the actual amount of voltage needed
Solution:
1Check and change the power capacitor C2[22uf/450v]
2. Change the Y3 crystals
3. Heat IC U4 upd61317
4. Re-solder IC U11 upd61541
5. Check and change tuner
Problems:
4. there is signal but no channel list received
solution
.re-solder U11 upd6154
Re-solder UE3
Heat UD1

.check the resistance of the resistor around these IC to ensure they are good working
condition.
.follow diagram of upgrading failure
5. Upgrading failure
6. Change channel on its own and continuously
7. System halted after some minute black
8. There is signal but no channel lists
9. Smart card error /check smart card problems
10. Decoder display 8888 at front panel
The main problems comes from the central processing units [cpu] as the results of its
malfunction others factors contribute to this problems as well
.solution:
Measure the power for 3.3v and 1.0v
.if it is not correct, check the power circuit and change damaged circuit
.check and change crystal x1 48 MHz
.re-programming the flash
.follow the diagram of problems upgrading failure
.The cathode ray tube (CRT) is the crux of monitor display technology. It is the
device that displays images upon a screen using electron beams. The entire CRT is
inside a vacuum sealed tube to avoid air resistance. The electrons are first created at

the back of the CRT by an electron gun. The electrons are shot off the gun at a high
velocity and travel through a magnetic field, which steers them in a certain direction.
. The electrons then pass through a filter (shadow mask) and collide with a phosphor
screen, to which they transfer their energy and cause the screen to glow. Through
specific direction of
these electron beams, images are created and displayed on the screen.
9. No av input
Problems: No audio
Solution
1. Measure the voltage of audio IC [N601], if the power is not good, check and
change R621
.measure the resistance of audio IC [N601],if which pin of audio IC [N601]is short
,change the IC
Problems: cracking
.the frequently problems with cracking is when the main board or particular stage not
receiving the actual amount of voltage needed

1 Installation services
.The accredited installer will be expected to respond to customers requirement
for our services and these services will include:
.Installation of the StarTimes dish and decoder to get strong signal
.Cabling which will conform to the quality of services as per StarTimes
standards
.Installer should ensure that the customer gets clear visual of the TV.
For continued signal reception, both signal strength and quality should be more
than 80%
After installation, installer must ensure that the signal and channels are
received without scratching/squeaking.
4) Cabling requirement
Termination of RF cable in both ends should be put nicely.
The dielectric shield should not be left too long when F-Connector is fitted
。At the dish point, installer must use cable ties or tape to make the cable

Figure30:Select the Direction
Use a compass direction to get the right direction Where the dish is supposed
to face.
When mounting the dish make sure you use the spirit level and the pipe has to
be at 90 degrees
The u-clamp has to be in a straight line or 90 degrees
Step 8: Find the signal via satellite finder
1) Set satellite finder
Find the signal via satellite finder
According to the longitude and latitude of the location to set the antenna
pitching angle and azimuth angle, and LNB polarization angle.
Start searching for the signal by moving the Dish in the west Direction until
when the finder signal quality is the highest.
.Adjust LNB polarization angle to find the highest signal quality.
.We should fix the dish and the cable very well.

. Also ensure that all screws are fastened.
Step 9: Setting decoder1)
After getting the signal successfully, Set the decoder.
.We also should set the country where you stay.
.About the partnership between peoples on the site (trainers, trainee and
employers) consisted with the meeting for every morning; this one helped in
improvement of teamwork in order to accomplish any task. .Trainers were
good teachers as they took me every morning telling the task of the day and
