General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible manifestations of defects
- LG 24LH450U TV does not turn on at all. There is no reaction to the remote control and control buttons from the front panel. Indicator lights do not light or flash.
In some of these cases, the main switching power supply, the Adapter module, is faulty.
The owner of the TV can purchase an external power supply unit such as Adapter and repairing it is not always advisable. In any case, the simplest typical defects characteristic of most IIP schemes can be easily detected and eliminated after opening. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and in case of their absence, check the operability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of 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 elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse usually breaks.
Mos-Fet power switches, used in switching power supplies, sometimes fail due to a malfunction of any other elements that can put it out of operation in key mode or create an excess of the maximum permissible parameters of the switch. These can be elements supplying the PWM controller, frequency-setting or damping circuits, or negative feedback elements in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers, in the absence of visible damage or frank short-circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing with new, or obviously working.
- 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.
Often in such cases, there is no LED backlight. The reason for this may be a break in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
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.
Repair or diagnostics of the EAX66873503 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). 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 LGE6351, 25L8005 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 TDJA-G301D tuner, if there is no tuning to the channels, you must 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
Owners and users of the LG 24LH450U TV should remember that self-repair without special knowledge, skills and qualifications can be fraught with negative consequences that can lead to complete non-repairability of the device!

To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with the MP3378E PWM controller, it is necessary to proportionally increase the total resistance of the resistors from pin 3 (RISET) to the chassis. Calculation of current in milliamperes and resistance in kilo-ohms 977 / Rset for each channel. Parallel channels are summed. For example, for four parallel channels and a RISET 10 KOhm resistance, the total current will be 97.7 * 4 = 391 mA.

EAX66873503 can be used in TVs:
LG 22LH450V PZ (Panel HM215EUN-SLMP1 - 41XX), LG 24LH450U (Panel V236BJ1-LE2A), LG 28LH451U (Panel HC275EXN-ABVP1-41XX), LG 20MT48VF 20MT48VF-PZ (Panel 1366x768 720p HD).
Main features of the device LG 24LH450U:
Installed matrix (LED panel) V236BJ1-LE2A.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) MP3378E.
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with the main board EAX66873503, controlled by the MP3378E PWM controller.
To power all the internal components of the LG 24LH450U TV, an external adapter type 19V 1.3A ADS-40FSG-19 EAY62812001 is used.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an EAX66873503 module, using LGE6351, 25L8005 chips, and others.
The TDJA-G301D tuner provides TV reception and channel tuning.
