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 repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
If the TV does not turn on, no control lights are on or blinking, there are no sounds when you turn on, and there is not the slightest sign of operability - the most likely malfunction is in the power module. Diagnostics and repair of the common power supply should always begin with a check of the mains fuse and the condition of the electrolytic capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters. Defective and swollen capacitors should be replaced with new ones. If the fuse breaks, it is advisable to check for a breakdown, first of all, all power semiconductor elements of the converter and the diode bridge of the rectifier network, as well as a large electrolytic capacitor of the filter of the rectifier network.
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 chip PWM L6599AD, HS01G, FCL106HR from the manufacturer.
If the LG 42LM3400 does not have an image, but there is sound, there may be a malfunction of the backlight LEDs of the LC420DUN (SE) (U2) panel or their power converter - LED driver.
To check the health of the LEDs and contact connections in their power circuit, the panel must be disassembled.
To check the health in the LED circuit, it is better to use a current source with a maximum voltage of 200V. We do not recommend using any voltage sources for this purpose. You can check each LED individually with a simple Chinese multimeter (powered by 9 volts) in the P-N-junction test mode. If you connect the red probe of the multimeter to the anode of the LED, and the black to its cathode, then the 3-volt LED will light up slightly, and in the opposite direction you can detect the transition of the emergency zener diode. A zener diode PN junction indirectly indicates a LED-a
Diagnosis and repair of the EAX64317404 (1.0) G4_L_TU123 motherboard usually begins with a test of the performance of the stabilizers and power converters of the module chips. In some cases, a software update is required.
In some cases, it is necessary to check or replace (if necessary) the elements of the MB board (SSB) - CPU: LGE2111A-T8, Nand: H27U1G8F2BTR, DDR: K4B1G1646G-BCK0, Spi: MX25L8006E. In cases where the BGA processor is used, its malfunction is usually detected by the local heating method.
In the absence of tuning to the channels of on-air or cable television, you should make sure that the software is correct, as well as in accordance with the ratings of the supply voltage at the terminals of the TDSN-G301D tuner. It is also necessary to check the presence of pulses of data exchange between the tuner and the processor via the I2C bus using an oscilloscope.
Remember! Attempts to self-repair by users of the LG 42LM3400 TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!

PSU Advanced
The 42LM3400 model uses the EAX64604501 power supply unit using the PFC (Power Factor Correction) node - an active filter of the highest harmonics of the current consumption. In fact, it is a step-up converter based on the HS01G PWM controller, which eliminates the charge current of the electrolytic capacitor of the rectifier filter directly from the network through open diodes when its charging current is determined by its reactance.
As a result of the operation of the converter, the envelope of the high-frequency pulses of the input current of the converter will repeat the shape and phase of the input voltage. The health of the PFC node can be indirectly judged by the presence of an increased constant voltage (about + 380V) on the capacitor of the rectifier network in operating mode.
The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the device LG 42LM3400:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) LC420DUN (SE) (U2).
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) 6870C-0401C.
To power the backlight LEDs, the KLS-E420DRPHF02C LED driver is used, controlled by the BD9285F PWM controller. As power elements of the LED driver, keys of the type AOD482, STC2073 are used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the LG 42LM3400 TV are generated by the EAX64604501 power supply module or its analogs using L6599AD (PWM Resonant), HS01G (PFC), FSL106HR (Standby DIP-8) microcircuits and power switches of the K10A60D, TK7P60V type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an EAX64317404 module using CPU chips: LGE2111A-T8, Nand: H27U1G8F2BTR, DDR: K4B1G1646G-BCK0, Spi: MX25L8006E and others.
