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
Possible manifestations of defects
- LG 42LY345C does not turn on and does not show any signs of performance at all. Does not blink indicators and does not respond to control buttons.
In some of these cases, a malfunction is detected in the EAX65423701 power module. It is necessary to measure its output supply voltages, and in case of their absence, check the serviceability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of breakdown in PN semiconductor junctions.
In case of breakdowns of diodes in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in emergency short circuit mode without output voltages, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse and / or current sensor at the source of the key 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, 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
A malfunction is usually most likely in these cases at the backlight nodes of the display matrix. The reason can be both in the power of the LEDs, in their serviceability (breakdown or breakage), as well as in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips.
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. You can open the panel and check each LED separately. Typically, Chinese multimeters light up a single 3-volt LED, if you connect the probes in the forward direction to it (red probe to the anode, black to the cathode). In dual 6-volt LEDs, the PN junction of its emergency zener diode can serve as an indicator of health. In the event of a LED malfunction, its zener diode will either be cut off or broken into short-circuit.
- 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 EAX65486303 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). In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the serviceability of its elements - 24C256, MX25L8006E, MX25L8005 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 TDJH-G101D tuner, if there is no tuning for the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its terminals. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus
It should be remembered! Attempts to self-repair the LG 42LY345C TV, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!


Backlight Current Limit:
In televisions with power supplies LGP3942-14PL1 (EAX65423701), the backlight current sensor - the resistor block R811-R818 consists of four pairs of 4.3 Ohm each. You can reduce the backlight current by 25% by removing one pair of resistors.

Main features of the device LG 42LY345C:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) LC420DUE (FG) (A3).
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) 6870C-0480A.
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with a power supply unit, controlled by the BD9486F, NR134S PWM controller. As power elements of the LED driver, keys of the type 4NF20, MDD3752 are used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the LG 42LY345C TV are generated by the EAX65423701 power supply module or its analogs using MAP8800, FA6A01N, NR134S microchips and TK7P60W power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an EAX65486303 module, using 24C256, MX25L8006E, MX25L8005 chips, and others.
The TDJH-G101D tuner provides TV reception and channel tuning.
