General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
LG 32LN540N-ZA, like other televisions, it is advisable to start repairing with a careful examination of the external and internal elements and modules. It often happens that visible damage to elements or connections helps determine the direction of the troubleshooting. If ring cracks are detected in the soldering of the terminals of the elements or dangling connecting tracks, swollen capacitors or charred resistors - all this can be characteristic signs of the causes or consequences of an already known typical malfunction.
If the LG 32LN540N-ZA does not turn on, no control lights on the front panel light up or blink, therefore, there is a very high probability of a malfunction of the LGP32-13PL power supply module. In some cases, only the processor power regulator may be faulty. In the general case, first of all, it is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters and the fuse at the input of the network. If it is cut off, then it is necessary to check the rectifier bridge diodes and the key transistor of the converter for a breakdown of the PN junctions, which can either be on a separate radiator or integrated with a PWM controller in a common chip. Possible options.
In most cases, key breakdowns in switching power supplies (SMPS) do not occur for no reason and you should look for other faulty circuit elements that could provoke a defect. This can be dried electrolytic capacitors in the primary circuit, and faulty damper elements, as well as dangling resistors or punched semiconductor elements in the stabilization circuits. Possible defective PWM chip from the manufacturer.
In cases where the LG 32LN540N-ZA TV has lost its image, and the sound is there and all other functions are operational, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the LED driver (converter for powering the backlight LEDs of the LC320DUE panel). When you turn on the TV, the image may appear briefly and disappear immediately. It must be borne in mind that with such manifestations the LEDs themselves also fail.
To check the health of the LEDs and contact connections in their power circuit, the panel must be disassembled.
A break in the line of LEDs connected in series cannot be detected with a multimeter or tester without disassembling the panel. To open all the transitions, several tens of volts are needed, and it is best to use a current source for such purposes.
If the EAX64891304 motherboard is faulty, first of all it is necessary to check all the linear stabilizers or power converters of its chips, and also, if necessary, update the software. Sometimes you can check the health of MB only by replacement.
Before changing the TDSQ-G501D (B) tuner, if it is not possible to tune to television channels, make sure that there are supply voltages, including varicap power (30-33V), which must be measured on the corresponding tuner pins.
Once again, we remind TV users: you should not make attempts to repair it yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Trust the repair only to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of electronic equipment repair.

One of the typical failures of the LG 32LN540N-ZA often occurs in LG's LED panel LC320DUE.
External manifestations: there is no image, the backlight does not work. In most of these cases, the LEDs turn out to be faulty, which, when tested, turn out to be either open or with broken internal zener diodes.
LEDs must be replaced, and the maximum current from the driver is limited to 10-20%.
