General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
If the LG 42LE7500 TV does not turn on, no control lights are on or blinking, there are no sounds when you turn on, there is not the slightest sign of operability - the most likely malfunction is in the power module.
If the mains fuse is cut off, in most cases a breakdown of the power switches is detected, which can be integrated with the PWM controller. The rectifier bridge diodes and the electrolytic capacitors of the mains rectifier filter should also be checked.
LED driver - the power converter of the panel backlight LEDs is a step-up voltage converter with stabilization of the current in the load and is part of the PSU PLDF-L903A general power supply module.
Sometimes the LG 42LE7500 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 LED driver, or a break in the LED circuit is possible. In such cases, first of all, it is necessary to verify the operability of the electrolytic capacitors of the filter according to the driver power supply.
A malfunction in the backlight circuits often occurs due to an open in the power circuit of the LED lines. It is necessary to disassemble the panel and check the LEDs themselves, the soldering of their conclusions, as well as the reliability of the connections in the connectors and the soldering of the conclusions of the connectors.
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.
In cases of attempts to repair the motherboard EAX61742605, it is necessary to check the operation of linear stabilizers and power converters of its microcircuits and, if possible, update the software (software). BGA chips can sometimes be diagnosed with local heating.
In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the health of its elements - LGE3556C, W25X40, 24C16 which may require replacement with new ones. If a BGA processor is installed, there is a possibility of a violation of the soldering of the contacts of its conclusions with the board (it is diagnosed by heating).
Before replacing the TDFR-G055D tuner, if there is no tuning for the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its terminals, as well as trace the data exchange of the tuner and processor via the I2C bus using an oscilloscope.
Typical defects of LG TVs with LGE3556C processors are provoked by its severe temperature conditions and the quality of the LGE3556C processor itself.Attention to the owners! Attempts at self-repair of the LG 42LE7500 TV are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!
External manifestations may be different - the tuner or external inputs do not work, or the TV does not turn on, for example, the control lamp blinks or hangs on the screen saver.
If, when the processor warms up, performance is restored, in such cases a reball can sometimes help. Then there is the opportunity to extend the life of the TV with the help of an additional heat sink or cooler. When replacing the processor, it should be borne in mind that they are discontinued and all LGE3556C, which sellers ALIexpress send, in most cases control units, are often already faulty.

PSU Advanced
The 42LE7500 TV is equipped with a PLDF-L903A power module using the PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuitry acting as an active filter to eliminate the higher harmonic components of the current consumption. The boost converter based on the ICE2PCS04 PWM controller does not allow the input rectifier filter's electrolytic capacitor to be connected to the network directly through open diodes when the charge current determines its reactance (about 15-30 ohms at a frequency of 50 Hz). As a result of the conversion, the charging current of the capacitor will be determined in such a way that the envelope of the high-frequency pulses of the input current will repeat the phase and shape of the sine wave of the input voltage. The health check of the PFC unit is carried out by measuring the DC voltage on the capacitor of the rectifier network. In operating mode, it should be around 380V, in standby approximately 300V.
The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the device LG 42LE7500:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) LC420EUH (SC) (A2).
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) integrated.
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with a power supply unit, controlled by a PWM controller AS3693B, MEGA48PA.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the LG 42LE7500 TV are generated by the PLDF-L903A power supply module or its analogs using VIPER27H (Standby), ICE2PCS04 (PFC), L6599D microcircuits and TK4P60DB type power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an EAX61742605 module, using LGE3556C chips, EPROM: 24512, W25X40 sticker: SAA35063405 V1.50 DD11, 24C16, NTP-7100 and others.
The TDFR-G055D tuner provides television reception and channel tuning.
