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!

PHILIPS 32PF7331
General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
Any repair of electronic equipment usually begins with a careful external inspection of the device and troubleshooting. In this case, you should inspect all the elements of the PHILIPS 32PF7331 / 12 TV, both internal and external. Specific external damage to the elements can sometimes prompt further actions to determine the malfunction of the TV and localize the defect before the necessary measurements and waveforms are taken. In some cases, faulty elements can be seen with the naked eye, for example, charred resistors or swollen metal-ceramic capacitors, or electrolytic in rectifier filters. Ring cracks formed in the soldered terminals of transformers or heating elements of the circuit are also frequent sources of many malfunctions with a variety of external manifestations.
Power Module Repair
In the absence of any signs of operability, when the PHILIPS 32PF7331 / 12 does not turn on and does not signal anything with the control lights on the panel, the B / PEC DV0-3_E177671 (S) power supply module is most likely faulty. When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, after replacing the swollen capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters (if any), you must first check the mains fuse. When it is broken, the power switch and rectifier bridge diodes should be checked for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
As a rule, the keys of flyback converters, which use an N-Fet field effect transistor on a separate radiator, or integrated with a PWM controller in a single chip, are reliable enough and rarely fail for no reason. The reasons for the breakdown of the key should be sought by checking other components of the circuit - electrolytic capacitors, resistors and semiconductor elements of the primary circuit. The PWM chip is verified by replacing it with a known good one.
If an active Power Factor Corrector (PFC) is used in the power module circuitry, it is sometimes more difficult to troubleshoot. Knowledge, experience, intuition and skills in such cases have a great advantage for a successful repair.
Inverter Repair
Sometimes the PHILIPS 32PF7331 / 12 TV does not have an image, but there is sound, or the image appears and immediately disappears. In this case, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the backlight converter, or of the lamps themselves, which can be checked by replacement. In such cases, it is necessary to verify the serviceability of all electrolytic capacitors of the filter according to the power supply of the inverter itself, including the power supply unit (power supply unit).
In most cases, the diagnosis and repair of the inverter TE26B-M (A) REV03_6632L-0290D_LC260WX2, TE26B-3 (A) PEV03_6632L-0291D_LC260WX2 is difficult due to the organization of protection, which disables it in emergency cases to avoid fires during short circuits or open circuits and open circuits during depressurization of lamps. Often, repairmen block the protection circuits in order to make the necessary measurements at the inverter control points to identify the causes of the defect.
It should be remembered that in such cases there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter and to take special care. After carrying out repairs, the protection circuit must be restored for further safe operation of the TV.
Repair Main Board
The motherboard must be checked if there is no reaction to the remote control and function buttons, the standby indicator blinks or lights up constantly. In such cases, if the converters or power regulators of the microcircuit are working, a software update may be necessary. Sophisticated MB board repair (SSB) is in some cases possible and practiced by repairmen. To do this, check and, if necessary, replace the elements TDA15021H / N1C91, TDA8931T, UL1318S / AI H-3.
Owners of 32PF7331 / 12 TVs are recommended to contact qualified specialists with experience for repairs! Self-repair attempts without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to serious negative consequences!

PSU Advanced
The 32PF7331 / 12 model uses the PLCD190P1 power supply unit using the PFC (Power Factor Correction) node - an active filter of the highest harmonics of the current consumption. In fact, this is a boost converter based on the L6562D PWM controller, which eliminates the charge current of the rectifier filter's electrolytic capacitor directly from the network through open diodes when its charging current is determined by its reactance.
As a result of the operation of the converter, the envelope of the high-frequency pulses of the input current of the converter will repeat the shape and phase of the input voltage. The health of the PFC node can be indirectly judged by the presence of an increased constant voltage (about + 380V) on the capacitor of the rectifier network in operating mode.
The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the PHILIPS 32PF7331 device:
Installed matrix (LCD-panel) LC320W01.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) LC370WX1.
To power the backlight used inverter TE26B-M (A).
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PHILIPS 32PF7331 TV are generated by the PLCD190P1 power module or its analogs using TEA1533AT (SOP14), L6562D (PFC), TEA1601T (SOP16) microcircuits.
