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
Any repair of electronic equipment usually begins with a careful external inspection of the device and troubleshooting. In this case, you should inspect all the elements of the PHILIPS 20PF5121 / 58 TV, both internal and external. Often, according to the external signs and the nature of some damage to the elements, it is possible to draw preliminary conclusions and determine a further algorithm for troubleshooting and localizing the malfunction before carrying out the necessary measurements and taking oscillograms at control points. Carbonized paint on the upper layer of resistors, electrolytic capacitors of rectifier filters swollen after boiling, cracked soldering at the terminals of heating elements or transformers can often suggest the cause of the defect and possible consequences.
In cases when the PHILIPS 20PF5121 / 58 TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and buttons, any indicators on the front panel do not light or blink, and there are no sounds and no signs of operability when turning on, the CA001V L927A2 power supply module is most likely to be faulty or , which happens somewhat less often, - there is no processor power on the motherboard (a typical defect of some PHILIPS TVs). First of all, it is necessary to replace the swollen capacitors of the rectifier filters, if any. If the mains fuse is broken in the power supply, in most cases a breakdown of the power switch is detected, which can be integrated with the PWM controller, or a separate field-effect transistor can be used. The rectifier bridge diodes and the electrolytic capacitor of the mains rectifier filter should also be checked.
It should be borne in mind that in the repair practice it is extremely rare that key transistors of the N-FET type fail for no reason that should be looked for by checking other components, for example, a breakdown of the key can provoke faulty elements of the damper circuits, either dried electrolytic capacitors or dangling resistors of the primary circuit of the PSU, involved in the stabilization process. In this case, all semiconductor elements of the strapping of the PWM controller chip are subject to verification, which it is desirable to verify by replacement.
Diagnostics of power modules with a Power Factor Corrector (CMC) is somewhat more complicated and requires a more detailed approach.
If the PHILIPS 20PF5121 / 58 TV does not have an image, but there is sound, the malfunction should be sought in the power converter of the backlight (inverter). It is also necessary to check the serviceability of the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers of the BP (power supply) for an overstated ESR.
Diagnosis of the inverter DAC-12M019 AOF 3139 128 77613 can be difficult due to the protection being triggered, which is organized by the designers to prevent negative consequences or fires in emergency cases, for example, during short circuits or breaks in the lamp power supply circuit, as well as their possible leakage. To make the necessary measurements at control points or to take the necessary waveforms, repairmen have to block the protection circuits in order to be able to diagnose.
In these cases, special care must be taken in view of the risk of failure of the power elements. After completing all repair work, it is imperative to restore the protection circuits for full and safe further operation of the TV by the user.
Repair of the motherboard 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.
It should be remembered! Attempts to repair the PHILIPS 20PF5121 / 58 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!
