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
PHILIPS with the Q548.1E LA chassis, like other televisions, it is advisable to start repairing with a careful examination of the external and internal elements and modules. Many visible changes in the state of the elements make it possible to determine the further direction of troubleshooting and localization of the defect. Elements with visible damage, for example, capacitors swelled up after boiling the electrolyte, charred resistors in certain nodes of the circuit, as well as ring cracks in solders will help the master to guess the causes and possible consequences of the malfunction.
Malfunctions of the DPS-298CP-4A power module can be expressed in different ways, for example, PHILIPS 42PFL8404H does not turn on at all and the control lamps on its front panel do not light up and do not blink, there are no signs of operability. It should be noted that with the same external manifestations, the processor power regulator (converter) may be faulty. In the absence of swollen filter capacitors of the secondary rectifiers, the diagnostics of the power supply should begin by checking the fuse and, if it is broken, it is first necessary to check all the power semiconductor elements of the primary circuit - diodes and transistors for the possibility of an avalanche or thermal breakdown.
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 PHILIPS 42PFL8404H does not have an image, there is sound and the channels are switched, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the display backlight, or their power converter - inverter. Sometimes when you turn on the image appears and disappears immediately. In such cases, it is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the power filter of the inverter itself, including in the secondary rectifier of the main PSU. It should be remembered that when protection is disabled in order to diagnose a malfunction, there is always a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter. After repair, it is necessary to restore all standard converter protection circuits.
Remember! Attempts by users to independently repair the PHILIPS 42PFL8404H TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!

PSU Advanced
The DPS-298CP power supply module is made using the Power Factor Correction (PFC) scheme to eliminate multiple AC harmonics introduced into the power supply by the device. The PFC assembly is a Step-Up Converter based on a 1606B PWM controller that evenly distributes high-frequency impulses of the charging current of the electrolytic capacitor of the rectifier filter of the mains voltage evenly over a period of 50 Hz. The current of its charge in this case will already be determined not by its reactance (usually 10-30 ohms for the network frequency), but by the elements of the converter. As a result, a change in the amplitude of the pulses (envelope) of the consumed current of the converter will repeat the shape and phase of the input sinusoidal voltage. The availability of an increased voltage (about + 380V) in the operating mode on the capacitor of the line filter indicates the serviceability of the PFC node.
The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the PHILIPS 42PFL8404H device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) LC420WUF-SBN1 code 183 p / n: 932226646682.
To power the backlight, a converter is used, combined with a power supply, controlled by a PWM controller DAA003A (24pin), DDA002B.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PHILIPS 42PFL8404H TV are generated by the DPS-298CP power module, or its analogs using 1606B (PFC), 3BS3LJ (PWM 8pin), DDA005 (6), DDA002B (PWM 20 pin) microcircuits.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a 3139_123_64423V2 module, using PNX8539EH24182 LAN9420-NU chips and others.
