General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
LG TV made on the LD91A / G chassis, like many other electronic devices, it is advisable to start repairing by inspecting all external and internal elements. Sometimes, based on visible changes in the components of the device, it is possible to draw some conclusions and determine the direction of further troubleshooting even before the necessary measurements are taken. Experienced repairmen are often aware of the causes of the defect and possible consequences, for example, from ring cracks in the soldering of the leads of the elements, as well as from swollen capacitors or resistors burnt to coal dust and other external indirect signs.
In the absence of any signs of operability, when the LG 37LH3000 does not turn on and does not signal anything with the control lights on the panel, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the TV EAX55357705 / 3 power supply module. With the same manifestations, the power regulator of the control processor on the motherboard may be faulty. When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, after replacing the swollen capacitors of the filters of the secondary rectifiers (if any), you must first check the mains fuse. When it is broken, the power elements of transistors and rectifier bridge diodes should be checked for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
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.

Sometimes the LG 37LH3000 TV does not have an image, but there is sound, or the image appears and immediately disappears. In this case, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the backlight converter, or of the lamps themselves, which can be checked by replacement. In such cases, it is necessary to verify the serviceability of all electrolytic capacitors of the filter according to the power supply of the inverter itself, including in the power supply unit (power supply unit). It should be remembered that when the protection is turned off in order to diagnose a malfunction, there is always a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter. After repair, it is necessary to restore all standard converter protection circuits.

Diagnosis and repair of the motherboard EAX60686902 (0) is carried out by checking the performance of the stabilizers or power converters of the module chips. In some cases, a software update is required. When repairing an MB board, you need to check its components SPI FLASH: 25L32050M21. Defective items should be replaced. If BGA chips are installed, their malfunction is usually localized by heating. If chips with BGA soldering technology are used, a problem in its implementation is detected by the local heating of the chip.
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.
