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!

REPAIR / SERVICING TV LG 23MA73D

Technical description and composition of the LG 23MA73D TV, panel type and applicable modules. The composition of the modules.
LG LED
Model: 23MA73D
Chassis / Version: LD31Q / M73D
Panel: LM230WF3 (SS) (A1)
LED backlight: EDGE LED
LED driver (backlight): integrated into MainBoard
PWM LED driver: DT1641AS
MOSFET LED driver: AOD478
Power Supply (PSU): Adapter 19V
MainBoard: EAX65048803
IC MainBoard: CPU: LGE2121-MC, SPI FLASH: W25Q80, EEPROM: 24C256, Audio: NTP7513
Tuner: TDSS-G501D EBL61240203
Specifications 23MA73D
LG 23MA73D
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible manifestations of defects
- The LG 23MA73D TV does not turn on and does not show any signs of turning on, it does not respond to the control buttons or to the remote control.
With such manifestations, a malfunction is most likely to be detected in the Adapter power module.
This TV model is equipped with an external power adapter type Adapter 19V, which the owner can purchase independently, and repairing it may not always be advisable, however, sometimes there is a certain sense to open it and eliminate simple typical defects typical of IPS. It is necessary to measure the output voltages in its secondary circuits, and if they are completely absent, it is necessary to check the serviceability of power switches and rectifier diodes for possible breakdown (short circuit).
In case of breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually work abnormally in the short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse often breaks.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies usually fail due to a malfunction of other elements that can put it out of operation in key mode or provoke an excess of the maximum current or voltage. These can be circuits supplying the PWM controller, damping or frequency-setting circuits, or elements of OOS (negative feedback) in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers (PWM), in the absence of external damage and short circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing with obviously good ones.
- There is no image, there is sound, it responds to the remote control. Or the image may appear for a second when turned on and immediately disappears.
In such cases, the most likely malfunction of the LED backlight elements. The reason for this may be a break in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
To detect a break in the LED lines without disassembling the panel, a current source is required. It is impossible to open transitions connected in series with a simple multimeter; voltage of several tens of volts is necessary.
- The indicator blinks or lights constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the EAX65048803 motherboard should begin by checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (software). Sophisticated MB board repair (SSB) is in some cases possible and practiced by repairmen. To do this, check and, if necessary, replace the CPU elements: LGE2121-MC, SPI FLASH: W25Q80, EEPROM: 24C256, Audio: NTP7513. BGA chip malfunctions are usually easy to detect by warming up.
Before changing the tuner TDSS-G501D EBL61240203, if it is not possible to tune to television channels, you should make sure that there are supply voltages that must be measured at the corresponding terminals of the tuner and check the software for correctness. The pulses of the data exchange of the tuner with the processor can be controlled by an oscilloscope
For 23MA73D TV owners, we recommend that you contact qualified personnel with the necessary work experience for repairs! Self-repair attempts without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!
