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!

SMPS schematic: Standby circuit working.
When switching on ,at first the standby circuit work. Supply 5V to the figure board , the main power start working when receiving the figure board boot-strap signal. Output: 24v 12v 300v volts d.c. pass the D810 R832 and then transformer(T803) primary coil, there into 3 pin connect pin 5 6 7 of U4 VDD from U4 source drain put through and so that the transformer(T803) primary coil put through  telepathy secondary 9 pin outputting through D807 commute 5V
Standby voltage R838 sampling 5v voltage connect sampling 5V connect to pin 1 TLHPC92 therepathy U3 pin 3 4 put through  leave each other Connect from the signal to U4 PIN 3 4 control U4 outputting  and so that the transformer output the steady 5v.
At the same time the transformer T803 primary coil 4 pin divide into two-way outputting.
1 one-way output 15v to the VCC, supply to IC supplying power.
2 one-way output to U4 supply power.
Switch - On work flow.
It passes R842 R841 D819 when receiving the figure board outputting the switch on high level signal  and then send to Q808 Base Q808 break over  TLU2 -1 2 pin break over the signal coupling to TL U2 pin 3 4.  At the same time Q807 cut off TLU2 pin 1 - 2 disconnection not coupling the signal to TLU2 pin 3 4. At the same time Q807 cut off 15V cannot supply through the Q807 outputting the VCC U5 and U6 stop working if they cannot receive the supply power.
PFC circuit.
15V ingress and U6 startup,P7 OUTPUT CONTROLLING Q801 CUT OFF AND BREAK OVER L801 is energy storage constantly commute the voltage Upgrade the 380V or not , pass the C807 filter, outputting to PWM circuit.
PWM circuit
After 15v enter u5 pin P6, U5 start working, p5 output the pulse signal control Q805 and Q802 base when the pulse signal is high level,Q805 cut off Q803 break over VCC pass though the Q802 and R813 to charge up C820. when the pulse signal is low level,Q805 break over Q803 cut off C802 pass though Q820 discharge . on account of C820 overlap cycle charge and discharge on account of T802 secondary coil coupling to signal variety,and so that control Q803 AND Q806 cut off and disconnect. In this way PFC Circuit output voltage connecting the transform T801 primary coil also repeat constantly deposited entry and released energy exchange course , and then telepathy to secondary coil and output voltage: 12v 24v 12V and 24V steady circuit. Pass through R811 sampling 24v and R808 sampling 12v,sampling the signal passing through U1 telepathy controlling U5 PIN P2 ,adjust U5 PIN P5 Output the pulse width adjust T801 output.
Overvoltage protect: When the voltage is over and sampling signal mix through D809、 R856 , the high level send to Q812 base, at the same time Q810 collector is high level.
Q810 is break over through D820 connect to R842 the potential alter low level  the switch on signal high level can not operate TV starts standby.
Low-voltage protect: When it is in gear about 24v , 24v through R1004 R1005 R1006 change the voltage the Q1001 break-over Q1001 collector is lower level.
When the voltage is lower 24v, D1002 cannot break –over Q1001 collector is high level ,D1001 and Q812 break-over switch-on signal voltage change lower, TV shift standby.
SMPS schematic
SMPS troubleshooting procedure
SMPS faults: No voltage
Analysis and detect: at first testing the switching on  p802 gain 2.2v switching on voltage in power board, constant the power is on testing 12v and 24v is 0v, measuring 5v is in gear. Showing the TV can standby in gear. If measuring 12v and 24v is 0V the problem cause is 12v and 24v commonality part.
12v and 24v commonality part is  PFC part and power PWN part  over current and voltage protect part. At first measure L809 PFC voltage.  If it discovering 380v is 0V the problem is PFC contact the PWM problem , primary analyzing cause is 15V circuit U5 and U6 can not work when only 15V has not in gear.
We know: the transformer T803 secondary coil 4 pin output second part:
1. one way output 15V to VCC supply to ic power supply
2. one way to U4 supply power supply to 5VSTB
because 5V is in gear IC power supply is 15V measure R826 VCC outputting voltage is 0V. measure R826 resistance to GND is in gear. And then measuring Q807 transmit is not voltage. Measure D824 discovering one pin has voltage  measure D824  discover the D824 disconnection replace the D824 the voltage is ok.
No voltage
Analysis and detect: at first testing the switching on p802 gain 2.2v switching on voltage in power board, constant the power is on testing 12v and 24v is 0v measuring 5v is in gear. Showing the TV can standby in gear. Measuring 12v and 24v is 0V, the problem cause is 12v and 24v commonality part.
12v and 24v commonality part is PFC part and power PWN part  over current and voltage protect part. At first is there 15V of VCC Is there Q807 Transistor of 13V.  U2 has not gain the switch on controlling signal.  Disconnect D820 and than measure  now avoid the problem of over current and voltage  the problem is the switch on signal has not effect. Constant switch on signal has inputted the P802 testing discover R842 disconnection the Switch on signal has not send to the Q808 replace R842 The TV switch on testing, the fault avoid.
No voltage
Analysis and detect: at first testing the switching on, p802 gain 2.2v switching on voltage in power board, constant the power is on testing 12v and 24v is 0v measuring 5v is in gear.  Showing the TV can standby in gear. If measuring 12v and 24v is 0V the problem cause is 12v and 24v commonality part.
12v and 24v commonality part is PFC part and power PWN part  over current and voltage protect part.
At first disconnect D820  affirm where the problem is part  and then measure 13V of VCC  if it is in gear continue testing PFC voltage is in gear,
So that determinant the problem is protect circuit measuring D820 cathode to GND resistance discovery resistance is littler than in gear  testing Protect circuit discovery Q812 short circuit attain. Replacing the Q812 ,the TV is ok.
Switch on voltage moment 12V testing point is 20V 24V testing point is 30V. fall to 0.4V or not moment .
Analysis and detect: at first testing the switching on p802 gain 2.2v switching on voltage in power board, constant the power is on switch on voltage moment 12V testing point is 20V,24V testing point is 30V. fall to 0.4V or not moment .measuring 5V is in gear the TV can standby in gear the problem is 12V and 24V steadfast voltage pass from R811 sampling 24V and R808 sampling 12V sampling signal pass though telepathy controlling U5 pin P5, and then output the pulse width adjust T801 outputting.
Detecting 12V and 24V steadfast voltage part discovering Q804 is bad, replace it the fault rectified.
When5V, dithering, and the output is 4V, no voltage at 12 V and 24V
Analysis, examine and repair: Open the panel and test, find out when 5V, dithering, the output is 4V, and no output at other voltage, it means there is something wrong with standby, it can’t export the stable 5V standby voltage.
At first, Check whether the commute bridge exports voltage: measure and find out there is 300 V direct current in D810, then check U4 to find out whether it starts work, measure the start voltage of U4 at first. There is dithering in 11V, but 13V is normal, the matter is in support part of work voltage, measure pin 4 voltage output of D803,there has voltage, measure D822, it is no voltage, then measure R847, find out there is plough, exchange it and eliminates the malfunction.
No voltage at 5V, 12 V and 24V.
Analysis, examine and repair: open the panel and test, there is no voltage, means the machine has something wrong with standby, it can’t output the 5V standby voltage, so it can’t produce 12V and 24V.
Check whether the commute bridge exports voltage: measure and find out there is 300V direct current in D810,then check U4 to find out whether it starts work,
measure the start voltage of U4 at first. There is dithering in 6-7V, but 13V is normal, measure 4 feet voltage output of D803, there has voltage, measure D822, it is
7V, find out no output when test D824,shows that it can’t run normally when at 5V , so exchange the U4, malfunction disappears.
No voltage for 12V and 14V.
Analysis, examine and repair: open the machine and test at first, find out when standby at 5V voltage is normal means no problem with standby, provide the 2.2V start voltage, no voltage output, so there is something wrong with the 12V and 14V voltage part, maybe the problem appears in PFC, PWM and protective circuit.
Measure the output voltage of VCC, 12V in R836, at this time there is noise in transformer, it is the voltage output reducing, maybe there is something wrong with the protective circuit, then cut D820 of protective circuit, test again, there is normal voltage output, so it can conclude that the problem is in protective circuit, the problem is over current and voltage or low-voltage 、 low-current protect circuit。 Cut the protect point after connect the D820, voltage goes back to normal when cuts the D1001, then test the low-voltage protect circuit , Q1001 is plough, exchange it and the malfunction disappears.
The TV has no power
Analysis, examine and repair: check the machine first, find out the fuse is cut and no obvious component burned-out mark, circuitry has over current or voltage circuit since the fuse is burned, means there is short circuit in somewhere. Measure and find out the Q801 has been short circuit, no short circuit finding in other parts, exchange the Q801, test against, 5V voltage is normal, but no output at 12V - 24V, because the PFC is broken, the voltage output of PFC is only about 320V, PFC doesn’t run, the power supply voltage of PFC at 14V, it is normal, so decide to exchange U6, the malfunction is still here, measure each feet against floor resistance of U6 in turn, find out the R869 is plough, exchange and test, eliminates malfunction, the fact is that R869 disconnect caused the U6 over current protect circuit runs U6 stop the output, so there is no voltage output of PFC, and no voltage.
No voltage for 12V and 14V.
Analysis, examine and repair: open the panel and test at first, find out when standby at 5 V, the voltage is normal, means no problem with standby, then provide 2.2 V start voltage, make out no output at12V and 14V. The TV is standby.
Problem both at 12V and 14V voltage, maybe there is some matter with PFC, PWM and protective circuit, so measure output of PFC first, it is 320V, means PFC doesn’t work, cut down the protective circuit, start the machine to test the output on 12V and 14V voltage, it is normal, so the problem appears in protective circuit, cut down the over current protect point separately to test , malfunction still, then cut down the exceed press protect, malfunction still,too, cut down the low-voltage protect Q1001 at last, malfunction disappears, and none of base voltage with Q1001, test and find out that 24V low-voltage protect sampling resistance R1004 disconnection. Open the machine after exchange it, malfunction disappears.
No voltage for 12V and 14V.
Analysis, examine and repair: open the panel and test at first, find out when standby at 5 V, the voltage is normal, means no problem with standby, then provide 2.2 V start voltage, make out no output at 12V and 14V. The machine is standby, problem appears both at 12V and 14V voltage, maybe there is some matter with PFC, PWM and protective circuit, so measure output of PFC first, if is 380 V, means PFC runs normally. It can conclude that problem is at 12V and 14V voltage part.
Since no voltage for both at 12V and 14V, the chance that feedback loop gets in trouble is not big, check the PWM circuit first, examine the going of U5, check whether there is drive voltage of pin P5 on U5,dittering on 1.5V more or less is normal. Then measure against floor resistance of P5 on U5, cut down the outing circuit, short circuit, it can conclude that U5 has been broken, open after exchange it, find out that the malfunction disappears.
