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!

General repair guidelines for TV LCD
SAMSUNG LE23R81W, like other televisions, it is advisable to start repairing with inspection of external and internal elements and modules. Often, by the visible signs of a change in the state of some elements, one can judge the causes of the defect. Elements with visible damage, for example, capacitors swelled up after boiling the electrolyte, charred resistors in certain nodes of the circuit, as well as ring cracks in solders will help the master to guess the causes and possible consequences of the malfunction.
If the TV does not turn on, no control lights are on or blinking, there are no sounds when you turn on, there is not the slightest sign of operability - the most likely malfunction is in the power module. When repairing the power supply, it is advisable to start the diagnostics by checking the mains fuse and the electrolytic capacitors of the filters of the converter secondary rectifiers. In the event of a fuse breaking, the reason should be sought in the power semiconductor elements of the pulse converter of the main power supply. First of all, it is necessary to check the diodes of the bridge of the rectifier of the mains voltage and the power key (s) of the converter. The complete inoperability of the power supply unit can be caused by a short circuit in the power elements in the primary circuit, followed by an open fuse, or a short circuit in the loads.
If the power keys of the pulse converter are not equal, you should pay attention to other elements in their bundling, which may be the result or cause of their breakdown.
If the SAMSUNG LE23R81W TV does not have an image, but there is sound, make sure that the backlight power converter (inverter) is working properly. It is also necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the BP secondary rectifiers (power supply) for an overstated ESR. When disabling protection in order to enable the diagnosis of a malfunction, special care should be taken, and after completion of all repair work, it is necessary to restore the circuit and the inverter protection for further safe operation of the TV.
If the motherboard BN41-00878A is faulty, first of all it is necessary to check all the linear stabilizers and power converters of its chips, and also, if necessary, update the software (software). Sometimes you can check the health of MB only by replacement. Complex repair of MB (SSB) is possible only in the conditions of a service center with the necessary equipment. Checking or replacing CPU elements: MT8293AE; Scaler: SDP64; SOUND: NTP-3000; It requires the necessary training and professional skills to repair modules at the component level. Problems associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can sometimes be diagnosed by warming up.
If the TV works normally with external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the tuner HTM-6C / 235S BN40-00099A may be malfunctioning. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus. Sometimes the cause of the inoperability of the tuner may be a software failure.
Attention to the owners! Attempts at self-repair of the SAMSUNG LE23R81W TV are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

PSU Advanced
The power module BN44-00158A is made using a Power Factor Correction (PFC) scheme to eliminate multiple AC harmonics introduced by the device into the mains. The PFC node is a Step-Up Converter based on a TDA4863 PWM controller that evenly distributes high-frequency pulses of the charging current of the electrolytic capacitor of the rectifier filter of the mains voltage over a period of 50 Hz. The current of its charge in this case will already be determined not by its reactance (usually 10-30 ohms for the network frequency), but by the elements of the converter. As a result, a change in the amplitude of the pulses (envelope) of the consumed current of the converter will repeat the shape and phase of the input sinusoidal voltage. The availability of the increased voltage (about + 380V) in the operating mode on the capacitor of the line filter indicates the serviceability of the PFC node.
The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the SAMSUNG LE23R81W device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) T230XW01 V.1.
To power the backlight, an inverter V225-001 is used, it is controlled by the PWM controller OZ964SN.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SAMSUNG LE23R81W TV are generated by the BN44-00158A power module or its analogs using F9222L, VIPer12A (Standby), TDA4863 (PFC) microcircuits.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a BN41-00878A module, using CPU chips: MT8293AE; Scaler: SDP64; SOUND: NTP-3000; and others.
