General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Failures of the power module LGP3942D-15CH1 can be expressed in different ways, for example, LG 42LF550V does not turn on at all and the control lights on its front panel do not light up and do not blink, there are no signs of operability. It is advisable to start the troubleshooting of the power supply module by checking the state of the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filters and the mains fuse. Defective capacitors should be replaced. If the mains fuse is broken, it is necessary to check first of all the power semiconductor elements - rectifier diodes and transistors, which are often found in such a state of breakdown.
As a rule, the keys in switching power supplies (SMPS) are reliable enough and rarely fail for no reason to be looked for by checking other components of the circuit - electrolytic capacitors, resistors and semiconductor elements of the primary circuit. The PWM chip is verified by replacing it with a known good one.
If, when you turn on the TV, the image appears and immediately disappears, or is missing initially when you turn on, but the sound has other functions that work, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the display backlight LEDs or the LED driver (power converter for the LC420DUE (MG) panel backlight assembly (A6).
A malfunction in the backlight circuits often occurs due to a break in the power supply circuit of the LED lines of the Led LG lnnotek DRT 3.0 42_A / B type Rev01. In such cases, it is often necessary to disassemble the panel and check the LEDs themselves, the rations of their terminals, as well as the reliability of the connections in the connectors and rations of the terminals.
It is impossible to detect a break in the LED line without disassembling the panel with a simple multimeter. The LEDs are connected in series and to open their transitions, a voltage of several tens of volts is required. Ideally, a current source is suitable for such purposes.
If the motherboard EAX66203805 (1.2), RD59341EUJ is faulty, first of all it is necessary to check all the linear stabilizers and power converters of its chips, and also, if necessary, update the software (software). Sometimes you can check the health of MB only by replacement.
If you suspect a malfunction of the TDJM-G301D tuner, first of all, you need to make sure the software is correct, as well as the presence of the necessary voltage levels at the corresponding terminals of the tuner.
Owners and users of the LG 42LF550V TV must 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!



You can reduce the backlight current in televisions with LGP3942D-15CH1 power supplies (EAX66203001) by increasing the resistance of the current sensor. The nominal current in the LEDs is 250 mA. Current sensor - resistor R816 rated 3 Ohm. If you increase the rating to 4.3 Ohm, the current decreases to 175 mA.

The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the device LG 42LF550V:
Installed matrix (LED panel) LC420DUE (MG) (A6).
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) 6870C-0480A.
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with the power supply, controlled by the LC5901 PWM controller.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the LG 42LF550V TV is carried out by the EAX66203001 power module, or its analogues.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an EAX66203805 module, using LGE2136, 25L8035E chips and others.
The TDJM-G301D tuner provides TV reception and channel tuning.
