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!

General repair guidelines for TV LCD
Possible malfunctions
- SAMSUNG LE46A556P1F TV does not turn on at all. The control lights do not light or flash. The TV on the remote control and the control panel buttons do not respond.
Failure in such cases should begin to be sought in the power supply circuits of BN44-00203A. It is necessary to measure its output supply voltages, and in case of their absence, check the serviceability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of breakdown in PN semiconductor junctions.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter, as a rule, can emergency work in the short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse usually breaks.
The breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in pulsed sources is sometimes caused by malfunctions of other circuit elements, for example, in the circuits supplying the PWM controller, frequency-setting or damper ones, as well as in the circuits of Negative Feedback (OOS) stabilization. PWM controllers (PWM), if they do not have visible damage to the chassis and open short circuit between the terminals, are usually checked by replacement.
- There is no image, but there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image appears when you turn on and immediately disappears
These manifestations can be triggered by a power supply module, or by inverter defects, as well as distortion of the currents in the lamps due to their uneven wear. If all the electrolytic capacitors of the filter according to the inverter power supply are serviceable, you should make sure that the lamps are in good working condition, then you need to check the converter keys and the secondary windings of the transformers.
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, 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 BN40-00120A tuner, if there is no tuning to the channels, 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
Once again, remind users! Attempts to self-repair a TV SAMSUNG LE46A556P1F without the appropriate qualifications and necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!
