General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Diagnostics of malfunctions and repairs LG 42LM640T, as well as other electronic devices, it is recommended to start with an external examination of the external and internal elements. Often, based on certain external signs, it may be possible to draw certain conclusions about the reasons for the failure of certain elements of the circuit even before the necessary measurements are made, which will determine the further algorithm for troubleshooting and localizing the defect. Ring cracks in the soldering of the leads of the heating elements, swollen electrolytic capacitors, a charred paint layer on the resistors - all this for the repairman can be a significant clue in the assumptions about the causes and consequences of the malfunction.
In the case when the 42LM640T does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and buttons on the front panel, does not blink light bulbs and does not show any signs of operability, the LGP4247L-12LPB-3PM, EAX64744204 (1.3) power supply module is faulty in this case (EAY62608903). If it is serviceable for such manifestations, it is necessary to check the stabilizer (converter) of the processor power supply on the motherboard.In diagnosing and repairing the power supply, first of all, replace the swollen capacitors of the secondary rectifier filter and check the fuse and, if it is broken, it is necessary to identify the cause. Often in such cases, an avalanche (thermal) breakdown is detected in the power semiconductor elements of the module — rectifier diodes and transistors in the primary circuit.
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 PWM chip from the manufacturer.
If the LG 42LM640T does not have an image, but there is sound, the backlight LEDs of the LC420EUG (PE) (F1) panel or their power converter may be malfunctioning. You should also make sure that the electrolytic capacitors of the secondary rectifiers of the common power supply are working.
A malfunction in the backlight circuits often occurs due to an open in the power circuit of the LED lines. It requires disassembling the panel and checking 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 check the LED line for breaks without disassembling the panel with a multimeter or tester. For these purposes, it is necessary to open all series-connected PN junctions and a voltage of the order of tens of volts will be required, and ideally, a current source.
Repair of the motherboard EAX64307906 (1.0) must begin with the diagnosis and verification of all linear stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. Sometimes it may be necessary to update the software (software) - flashing FLASH or EEPROM.
When repairing an MB board, you need to check its CPU components: LGE2112 1215-BTAH, NAND: KLM2G1HE3F-B001, Sound: STA380BWE. Defective items should be replaced. If BGA chips are installed, their malfunction is usually localized by heating.
The malfunction of the TDSN-G351D tuner is established after checking the software and all the supply voltages at its terminals.
Once again, remind users! Attempts to self-repair the LG 42LM640T TV without the appropriate qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

 To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with the AAT2430AISX controller, increase the resistance of the resistor from terminal 50 (ISET) to the housing, for example, from 3 KOhm to 4.7 KOhm. Currents will proportionally decrease in each of the 16 channels. With a parallel connection of channels, currents are summed.

PSU Advanced
According to the conditions of compliance with modern world standards for household switching power supplies, the EAX64744204 module provides for the use of a Power Factor Correction unit. The PFC circuit is a flyback converter based on the FAN7930BG PWM controller. The reactance of an electrolytic capacitor of a line filter at a frequency of 50-60 Hz is usually not more than 20-30 ohms and its charge directly from the network through open diodes could reach tens of amperes per pulse if no filtering were applied.
As a result of the PFC conversion, an increased voltage on the capacitor (about 380V) cannot directly open the rectifier diodes, on the anode of which the voltage will always be slightly less (about 300V) and then its charging current will always be limited by the elements of the PWM controller. As a result, the envelope of the high-frequency pulses of the consumed current will repeat the shape and phase of the input sinusoidal voltage. The presence of an increased voltage (+ 380V) on the network capacitor indicates the serviceability of the PFC node.
