REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
Possible manifestations of defects
- LG 42LH4000 does not turn on, the indicators on the front panel do not light or flash. The TV does not respond to the control buttons and the remote control.
Typically, with such manifestations, the defect is caused by faulty elements in the EAX55357701 main power module. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and in case of their absence (full or partial), it is necessary to check the serviceability of power switches (07N60C3) of converters and rectifier diodes for the presence of a possible short circuit.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter, as a rule, can emergency work in the short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse usually breaks.
Mos-Fet power switches, used in switching power supplies, sometimes fail due to a malfunction of any other elements that can put it out of operation in key mode, or create an excess of the maximum permissible parameters of the switch. These can be elements supplying the PWM controller, frequency-setting or damping circuits, or negative feedback elements in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers STR-W6252, ICE2PCS06 (PFC), in the absence of visible damage or explicit short-circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing with new ones, or obviously working.
- There is no image, but there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image appears when you turn it on and immediately disappears
The defect can be caused by problems in the nodes or elements of the backlight of the display, or in the power supply of the lamps or the inverter.After checking all the electrolytic capacitors of the filters that are involved in the power supply of the inverter, you must ring in its converter power keys for breakdown and secondary windings of transformers for an open.
Sometimes, for diagnostic purposes, inverter protection must be disabled. In such cases, special care must be taken during work, and the protection circuits should be restored immediately after the repair is completed.
- 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 EAX60686904 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: LGE3368A-LF-SF, NAND: FLASH: HY27US08121B-TPCB, SPI FLASH: W25X32VSSIG, EEPROM: M24512 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.
If there is no reception of television channels, but the TV is working properly from external devices, first of all you need to check the power supply of the TDFW-G235D tuner and update the software. The pulses from the I2C bus must be controlled with an oscilloscope.
Once again, remind users! Attempts to self-repair the LG 42LH4000 TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the device LG 42LH4000:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) LC420WUH (SB) (A1).
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) EAX58017201.
To power the backlight, a converter is used, combined with the power supply, controlled by the BD9215F PWM controller. The transformer LIF42-001 FLB-2 is installed in the inverter converter.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the LG 42LH4000 TV are generated by the EAX55357701 power supply module or its analogs using STR-W6252, ICE2PCS06 (PFC) microcircuits and power switches of the 07N60C3 type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an EAX60686904 module using CPU chips: LGE3368A-LF-SF, NAND: FLASH: HY27US08121B-TPCB, SPI FLASH: W25X32VSSIG, EEPROM: M24512 and others.
