In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

SMPS (Power Supply Regulator Circuit Diagram)
Inverter Control circuit operations
DC_5V through R1 and C1 will provide power for U1 on the pin2(VDDA),When the voltage at VDDA is less than ~3.4V,the IC will enter the lockout mode. The IC will resume operation when the voltage at pin VDDA exceeds an approximate 3.8V threshold.
Pin3(SEL) used to select appropriate drive topologies, connecting pin SEL to GED shows the IC in the push-pull configuration..
SSTCMP (pin14) applys the soft-start function and the loop compensation funtion.C5 at SSTCMP compensates the feedback loop and provides good transient response to load changes.  When the IC is enabled, it starts from the stinking mode and the TIMER (pin8) is activated. During lamp
ignition,if the voltage at pin SSTCMP exceeds an approximate 2.0V threshold, the drive frequency will switch from stinking frequency to the operation frequency, The striking frequency is determined by (R4& R5) connected to Pin 4(RT1)and Pin5(RT). The operating frequency is determined just by R4.
Applying a voltage level greater than 2V from IF BD to pin6(PWM) can enable the IC, Once the voltage less than ~1.0V for longer than 20ms will disable the IC.
Once the lamps are ignited and the voltage at pins ISEN1(pin9),ISEN2(pin10),OLP1(pin12),and OLP2(pin13) all exceed approximately 0.8V,the IC enters the normal operation mode and the PWM dimming control is activated. During start up, ISEN1 (pin9and pin10) senses the voltage on the transformer secondary. If no current is sensed approximately 2 seconds, U1 shuts off. re used to limit current. C3 is used to dump noise.
DRV1 and DRV2 of U1 are used to drive Q1. DRV1 and DRV2 are controlled by build-in PWM IC.  Q1 is switched which has two build-in IGBTs. The working principle of circuit of T1, the same to circuit of Power.
The voltage signal on negative pole of D1 sensed through R7/R8 comes to Pin11 of U1 VSEN (Lamp Current Detection & Control). The CCFL current is detected through R12/R21 and reaches a regulated value. The CCFL current detected at resistor R12/R21 is converted to a voltage level and input to the ISEN1/2 Once the CCFLs are ignited and current is sensed through resistor R12/R21, performs the loop compensation function. The voltage at IC pin12 controls the drive duty cycle of the power MOSFETs to regulate the CCFL current.
Output Circuit and Protection Circuit operations
The transformer (T1) secondary winding leakage inductance and output capacitance(C22) forms a lower pass filter, which converts the square-wave driving signal into a sinusoidal output voltage signal for CCFL.
The over-voltage protection feature is implemented by using an external capacitor devider(C20/C21) to sense the output voltage. The divide-down voltage signal is sent to the IC Pin11 (VSEN) ,thus regulating the output voltage at the transformer secondary.
If a CCFL is removed, fails or damaged during normal operation, CCFL current is no longer sensed and the voltage on ISEN1/ISEN2 drops. Once the voltage at the ISEN1/ISEN2 pin is less than the lamp” on” threshold, the shutdown timer is activated. The IC maintains the output voltage for approximately 2-3seconds and once the timer reaches a threshold of approximately 3V, the IC will shutdown. 
To restart the IC, either toggle the SST_CMP pin or recycle the power on the VDDA pin.
High Voltage to Low Voltage Control Circuit
D850 is a rectifier in which there are 4 build-in diodes, inverting AC to DC.
C854 is used to smooth the wave from rectifier. R852 is a fuse resistor to protect the following circuit when inrush current is too large.
U850 is a current-mode PWM controller with excellent power-saving operation, It features a high-voltage current source to directly supply the startup current from bulk capacitor and further to provide lossless startup circuit. Max start-up current for U850 is 100 uA, When current flow from the bulk capacitor C854 through R843 and R842 gets to HV pin to start up U850, Meanwhile, the VCC supply current is as low as 100 uA thus most of the HV current is utilized to change the VCC capacitor C855
Whenever the Vcc voltage is higher than UVLO (16V), the GATE pin will output signal to drive the power MOSFET(Q850), the high-voltage current source is off and the supply current is provided from the auxiliary winding of the transformer PIN5.
When U850 begins to operate Pin8 of U850 will output square wave to drive Q850, then the main current flow get to GND bypassing through T850, Q850. Because of the change of current flow, wires in the other side of T850 will induct current. In the same time, the current inducted by wires which connected T850 Pin 1 and Pin 3, with components of D852, R856 and C855 ,will be supplied to U850 for normal operating.
The typical current mode PWM controller feedbacks both current signal and voltage signal to close the control loop and achieve ragulation.U850 detects the Q850 current from I sense pin which max voltage is set as 0.85V, then the Q850 current can be calculated as: I peak=0.85V/R869,When the sense voltage across the sense resistor R869, reaches the threshold voltage over 0.85V, the output GATE drive will be turned off. R849 and C846 is used to avoid the Isen pin damaged by the negative turn-on spike.
The voltage feedback signal is provided from the TL431(I851) through the I850 to the COMP pin. When the voltage on COMP pin is lower than 1.2V,the IC will turn off.
When Q850 is turned off, the main current flow will be consumed through D851, C875, R880, this will prevent Q850 from being damaged under large current impulse and voltage spike.
RT pin is to program the switching frequency ,by connecting R846 to ground to set the switching frequency,f=(65.0/R846)*100(KHz)
DC12Vand DC 5V Output Circuit and Feedback circuit
D854 is used to rectify the inducted current. R862 and C861 are used to store energy when current is reversed. The parts including C862, C865 and L852 are used to smooth the current waves that are from D855, then 13V voltage is supplied.
D856 and D857 are SCHTKY diodes used to rectify the inducted current.C866 and R866 are used to store energy when current is reversed, The components including C864,C874,C875,L851 and C876 are used to smooth the current waves, then DC+5V voltage is supplied. F851 is used for OCP for the LPS test.
DC 5V supply voltage feed back to PWM controller U850 via R861,R860,R859,C859,I851,R857, R863 used to control the voltage feedback loop.
