General repair guidelines for TV LCD
Possible manifestations of defects
- SAMSUNG LE40A615A3F does not turn on. There are no signs of operability. The indicators on the front panel do not light or flash, the TV does not respond to the remote control and control buttons.
In some of these cases, the main switching power supply, the BN44-00199A module, is faulty. In the absence of the necessary supply voltages in the secondary circuits of the converters, it is necessary to check the power switches (FCPF11N60) and rectifier diodes for a possible partial or complete breakdown.
In case of breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits of any converter, as a rule, it can operate in emergency short-circuit mode without output voltages, and during short circuit in the elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse and, less often, the current sensor at the source of the key are most often cut off.
Mos-Fet power switches, used in switching power supplies, sometimes fail due to a malfunction of any other elements that can put it out of operation in key mode or create an excess of the maximum permissible parameters of the switch. These can be elements supplying the PWM controller, frequency-setting or damping circuits, or negative feedback elements in the stabilization circuit. FAN7530, QM853 STM4472, FSQ0765RG, LX1692BIDW PWM controllers, in the absence of visible damage or frank short-circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing with new ones, or obviously working.
- There is no image, there is sound, it responds to the remote control, the channels are switched. In some cases, the image appears when you turn on and immediately disappears.
A defect can be caused by problems in the nodes or elements of the backlight of the display, or in the power supply of the lamps or the inverter.After checking all the electrolytic capacitors of the filters that are involved in the power supply of the inverter, the breakdown keys and the transformer secondary windings must be ringed in its converter.
If in diagnosing a malfunction, it is necessary to disable the inverter protection, there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter, and special care is required during operations, and after their completion, it is necessary to restore the protection circuits for further safe operation of the TV by the owner in normal mode.
- The TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control. The indicator blinks or signals standby mode.
Repair or diagnostics of the BN41-00974B motherboard should begin by checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Sophisticated MB board repair (SSB) is in some cases possible and practiced by repairmen. To do this, check and, if necessary, replace the elements MT8226, MT8291E, NTP-3100, WT61P8, HYB25DC256163CE-4, K4T56163QT. BGA chip malfunctions are usually easy to detect by warming up.
If a tuner BN40-00120A TDHG6-K10A is suspected of malfunction, first of all, it is necessary to verify the correctness of the software, as well as the presence of the necessary supply voltage levels and data exchange pulses with the processor via the I2C bus on the corresponding tuner pins.
Once again, we remind TV users: you should not make attempts to repair it yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Trust the repair to professionals with sufficient experience in the repair of electronic equipment.

The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the SAMSUNG LE40A615A3F device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) T400HW01 V.4.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) T400HW01.
To power the backlight, an inverter 4H.V2358.181 is used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SAMSUNG LE40A615A3F TV are generated by the BN44-00199A power supply module or its analogs using FAN7530, QM853 STM4472, FSQ0765RG, LX1692BIDW microchips and power switches of the FCPF11N60 type.
