REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

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!

Technical Specifications LE37A615A3F
SAMSUNG LE37A615A3F
General repair guidelines for TV LCD
Possible malfunctions
- The SAMSUNG LE37A615A3F TV does not turn on and does not show any signs of operability. There is no reaction to either the remote control or the control buttons from the front panel.
With such manifestations, the BN44-00216A power module usually fails. In the absence of the necessary supply voltages in the secondary circuits of the converters, it is necessary first of all to check the power switches and rectifier diodes for a possible partial or complete breakdown.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in a short circuit mode, and during a short circuit in the elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse usually breaks.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies usually fail due to a malfunction of other elements that can put it out of operation in key mode or provoke an excess of the maximum current or voltage. It can be supply, damper circuits, or elements of OOS (negative feedback) stabilization. The reason for the breakdown of the power switch may be PWM (MCW) MC33067P (16), FAN7530 (PFC), FSQ0365RN (Standby). It is checked only by replacement with a known good one.
- 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.
The 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, you must ring in its converter power keys for breakdown and secondary windings of transformers for an open.
Sometimes, for diagnostic purposes, inverter protection must be disabled. In such cases, special care must be taken during work, and the protection circuits should be restored immediately after the repair is completed.
- The TV does not turn on, the indicator signals standby or working mode, or blinks.
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). In cases of complex repairs of MB (SSB) and in the presence of the necessary skills and equipment, sometimes it may be necessary to replace its chips MT8226, MT8291E, NTP-3100, WT61P8, SDP72, D61211GM, HYB25DC256163CE-4, K4T56163QT and other possible faulty components. Malfunctions associated with the application of BGA soldering technologies are usually easily diagnosed by the heating method.
Before replacing the tuner BN40-00120A // BN40-00124A, if there is no tuning for the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its terminals. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus.

Attention to users! Self-repair of a SAMSUNG LE37A615A3F TV without the appropriate qualifications and necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!
