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 LED
Possible malfunctions
- The PHILIPS 40PFT4101 TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and the control panel buttons, and does not blink with any indicators.
In such cases, the 715G6934-P01-000-002H power supply is usually faulty. It is necessary to measure the secondary output voltage, and in case of their absence, check the serviceability of the power switches (TK8A65D) of the converters and rectifier diodes for a short circuit.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in a short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the main fuse usually breaks.
The breakdown of Mos-Fet keys used in pulsed sources is often caused by malfunctions of other elements, for example, power supply, frequency-setting, damper ... as well as elements of the Negative Stabilization Feedback. PWM chip PF6003AHS (PWM Flyback), AOZ3015AI (Step-Down 12V / 5V) can also cause a malfunction of the power switch of the converter and is checked by replacement.
- 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.
In such cases, the most likely malfunction of the LED backlight elements. The reason can be both in the power supply of the LEDs, in their serviceability (breakdown or breakage), as well as in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips.
It should be remembered that it is not possible to determine the open circuit in the LED lines without disassembling the panels with a tester or multimeter without an additional device, for example, a current source. To open all PN junctions connected in series at once, a voltage of several tens of volts may be required. Then it is necessary to open the panel and check each LED separately with a multimeter. If the capabilities of your multimeter do not allow you to open the LED in the forward direction or dual LEd are used, then the PN junction of the emergency zener diode can indirectly serve as a health indicator. In case of LED-a failure, the zener diode PN junction will either be cut off or broken into short-circuit.
- The TV does not turn on, the indicator indicates standby or operating mode, or blinks.

If PHILIPS 40PFT4101 has no picture but has sound, often the display backlight of TPT400LA-HN02.S is simply not working.
In such cases you can see a faintly visible image when external light hits the screen.

To replace the LEDs requires disassembly of the LCD panel TPT400LA-HN02.S - the process requiring the master of experience and expertise. I do not recommend to perform such works by yourself to owners of TV sets and craftsmen who have no experience in LCD panel repair

If there is no image, but backlighting works - the screen becomes slightly lighter when the TV is turned on, and in the open TV you can see the light through the holes in the body of the panel.
In this case the panel may be defective - damage to the strips, cables, for example, as a consequence of moisture after an unsuccessful washing of the screen, the T-CON board (Timing Controller) may be defective. But quite often the MainBoard 715G6947-M01-000-004Y is defective, also software failure is possible.
Then first it is necessary to check the panel power supply voltage, fuses on the T-CON board, as well as the supply and reference voltages of the column and line drivers - VGH, VGL, Vcom.
If these measurements are within normal limits, you need to trace by oscilloscope the LVDS signals from MainBoard 715G6947-M01-000-004Y, as well as synchronizing signals to driver stubs.

Filled or unsuccessfully washed LED TV screens can be restored in about half of the cases, usually, if there is no significant damage to the panel stubs and slats.


Repair or diagnostics of the motherboard 715G6947-M01-000-004Y should begin by checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the microcircuit and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (software). Board repair and replacement of CPU chips: NT72453; NAND Flash: MX30LF1G08AA-T1 1Gb; SOUND: AUDIO AD87588-LG48NAY are produced with the necessary equipment, and the corresponding element base. Faults associated with the application of BGA processor soldering technologies can be localized by the heating method.
If there is no reception of television channels, but the TV is working properly from external devices, first of all you need to check the voltage of the tuner ST42CS-2-E 394GNPALALL32L and update the software. The pulses from the I2C bus must be controlled with an oscilloscope.


Once again, I remind TV users: you should not make attempts to repair it yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Entrust repair to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of repair of electronic equipment.
