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
It is advisable to start the diagnostics of a malfunction of the SAMSUNG LE37A656A1 TV, as well as all others, with an external examination of both external and internal elements. Sometimes, for some visible changes, you can determine the further direction of the defect search and localization of the malfunction before the start of taking the oscillograms and making the necessary measurements at the control points. 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 SAMSUNG LE37A656A1 does not turn on, no control lights on the front panel light up or blink, therefore, there is a very high probability of a fault in the BN4400216A power module. When diagnosing and repairing the BN4400216A power supply, first of all, it is necessary to check the fuse, and if it breaks, you should check the power switch and rectifier bridge diodes for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
If a breakdown of the power switch of the flyback converter of the power supply unit is detected, it should be remembered that it does not fail for no reason, which should be sought by checking other elements of the primary circuit - electrolytic capacitors, a PWM controller that can only be checked by replacement, as well as others semiconductor elements (diodes, transistors, zener diodes).
When using the Active Power Factor Correction (CMC) circuitry in the power module, the search for faulty elements is somewhat more complicated.
If, when you turn on the TV, the image appears and immediately disappears, or is absent initially when you turn on, but there is sound and other functions work, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the inverter (power converter of the backlight). In such cases, the lamps, the inverter and the common power module are subject to verification, in which the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter supplying the inverter should be checked.
The operation of the power circuits of the inverter and the backlight in the normal mode are controlled by special protection, which is organized for fire safety, for example, to disconnect during short circuits or breaks in high-voltage connections or during depressurization of lamps. This protection makes it difficult to diagnose and repair the inverter.
All necessary precautions must be observed when disabling the inverter protection during diagnostics and not leaving it disconnected after the repair is completed.
On the BN9401741H motherboard, in case of a malfunction, you should first check the operation of all power supply stabilizers for the microcircuits and, if necessary, update the software (software).
It should be remembered! Attempts to repair the TV SAMSUNG LE37A656A1, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!

PSU Advanced
The power module BN44-00216A is made using the Power Factor Correction (PFC) scheme to eliminate multiple AC harmonics introduced into the power supply by the device. The PFC assembly is a Step-Up Converter based on the FAN7530 PWM controller, which evenly distributes high-frequency impulses 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 LE37A656A1 device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) T370HW02 V6.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) 37T04-C03.
The VIT71037.50 inverter is used to power the backlight lamps, it is controlled by the OZ964SN PWM controller. A transformer T51.0194.211 is installed in the inverter converter. As power elements of the inverter, keys of the APM4052D type are used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SAMSUNG LE37A656A1 TV are generated by the BN44-00216A power module or its analogs using microcircuits MC33067P (PWM), FAN7530 (PFC), FSQ0365RN (Standby) and power switches of the type 17N60 (PFC), 9N50 (PWM) .
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a BN41-00974B module, using chips MT8226, MT8291E, NTP-3100, WT61P8, SDP72, D61211GM, HYB25DC256163CE-4, K4T56163QT, TMDS351, DNOS403SH071A.
