General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible malfunctions
- The LG 42LB673V TV does not turn on and does not show any signs of turning on, does not respond to the control buttons or to the remote control.
In such cases, the EAX65424001 power supply is usually faulty. 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 any breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in emergency short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse or the current sensor at the source of the key more often breaks.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in pulsed sources is sometimes caused by malfunctions of other circuit elements, for example, in circuits supplying a PWM controller, frequency-setting or damper ones, as well as in negative feedback circuits (OOS) of stabilization. PWM controllers (PWM) MAP8800 (PFC), ICE3BR4765JZ (Standby DIP-7), if they do not have visible damage to the case and open fault between the terminals, are usually checked by replacement.
- There is no image, but there is sound and reaction to the remote control. Or for a second, the image may appear immediately after switching on.
In most of these cases, a malfunction is detected in the nodes and backlight elements of the LED panel. The reason can be both in the power supply of the LEDs, in their serviceability (breakdown or breakage), as well as in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips.
When diagnosing, it is necessary to take into account that it is impossible to check the open in the chain of LED lines without disassembling the panels using a tester or multimeter. To open all PN junctions connected in series, a voltage of the order of several tens of volts is required, and ideally, a current source. By opening the panel, each LED can be checked separately. Typically, Chinese multimeters light up a single 3-volt LED, if you connect probes in the forward direction to it. In dual 6-volt LEDs, the PN junction of its emergency zener diode can serve as an indicator of health. In the event of a LED malfunction, its zener diode will either be cut off or broken into short-circuit.
- The TV does not enter the operating mode, does not respond to the remote control. The indicator on the front panel lights constantly or blinks.
Repair or diagnostics of the EAX65384003 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). Often, the MB (SSB) card needs to be replaced in case of complex faults that are difficult to detect. When trying to repair, you should check its elements - CPU: LG1311, DRAM: H5TQ4G63AFR-PBC, EEPROM: AT24C256C, EMMC: THGBMAG6A2JBAIR and replace the failed chips with new ones. Some malfunctions may be due to the use of BGA soldering technologies in modern Main Board technologies. Typically, such defects are detected by local heating of the chip.
Before replacing the TDJM-G101D tuner, if there is no tuning for 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
We recommend the owners of the 42LB673V TV for repair only to qualified specialists with the necessary work experience! Self-repair attempts without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!

The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the device LG 42LB673V:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) LC420DUH (PG) (F1).
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with a power supply, controlled by the iW7025-00 PWM controller.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the LG 42LB673V TV are generated by the EAX65424001 power module or its analogs using MAP8800 (PFC), ICE3BR4765JZ (Standby DIP-7) microcircuits.
