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!

PHILIPS 55PFL7108S
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Faults in the FSP159-4FS01 power supply module can be expressed in different ways, for example, PHILIPS 55PFL7108S 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. 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 key (s) 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.
If a breakdown of the power switch is detected, it should be remembered that in a switching power supply (IIP) it does not fail by itself for no reason that you should look for when checking other elements of the primary circuit - electrolytic capacitors, PWM controller FSB117H (Standby 8pin) , FAN7930C (PFC), SSC9522 (PWM resonant), which can only be checked by replacement, as well as other semiconductor elements (diodes, transistors, zener diodes).
If the PHILIPS 55PFL7108S does not have an image, but there is sound, there may be a malfunction of the backlight LEDs of the LC550EUF (PF) (F1) panel or their power converter - LED driver.
Often there is a need for disassembling the panel to check the health of the LEDs, as well as contact connections in the connectors and soldering.
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.
Motherboard 310431366185 must be checked if there is no reaction to the remote control and function buttons, the standby indicator blinks or lights up constantly. In such cases, if the converters or power regulators of the microcircuit are working, a software update may be necessary.
Board repair and replacement of FUSION P120 FNP102-B2E31, TAS5731, 29F8G08ABABA microcircuits are carried out with the necessary equipment, and the corresponding element base. Faults associated with the application of BGA processor soldering technologies can be localized by the heating method.
If the TV works normally with external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the tuner SUT-RE214AN may be malfunctioning. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding conclusions. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus. Sometimes the cause of the inoperability of the tuner may be a software failure.
Remember! Attempts to self-repair by users of the PHILIPS 55PFL7108S TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!

 The appearance of MainBoard 310431366185 is shown in the figure below:
310431366185
The weak point in the models of PHILIPS TVs assembled on the QFU1.2E LA chassis is the main board SSB (MainBoard), which usually refuses to work after two years of operation. Replacement required.
The cost of the board is quite high, which sometimes raises the question of the feasibility of repairs.
Despite the efforts of designers to complicate or exclude the possibility of repairing the board, there are still options for its restoration.
Attention to the masters !!! You should pay attention to the drop of compound from the bottom of the board. When trying to heat the board or reball of BGA chips, the compound must be completely removed. Otherwise, the paths will be closed, which will significantly complicate the further repair of the board.
310431366185 can be used in TVs:
PHILIPS 42PFL7008S/60 (Panel LC420EUF (AF)(F1)), PHILIPS 40PFL8008S/60 (Panel LTA400HL18 002), PHILIPS 42PFL6008S/60 (Panel LC420EUF (PF)(F1)), PHILIPS 42PFL7108S/60 (Panel LC420EUF PFF1), PHILIPS 47PFL6008S/60 (Panel LC470EUF (PF)(F1) code 430 p/n: 932230114682), PHILIPS 47PFL6008S/60 (Panel LC470EUF (PF)(F1) code 430 p/n: 932230114682), PHILIPS 47PFL7008S/60 (Panel LC470EUF PFF1 code 430 932230114682), PHILIPS 60PFL6008S/60 (Panel LC600EUD FEF2 code 439 p/n: 932230207682), PHILIPS 55PFL8008S/12 (Panel LTA550HQ25), PHILIPS 55PFL7108S/60 (Panel LC550EUF (PF)(F1)), PHILIPS 42PFL6678S/12 (Panel LC420EUF (PF)(F1)).
PSU Advanced
The 55PFL7108S / 60 model uses the FSP159-4FS01 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 boost converter based on the FAN7930C 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 PHILIPS 55PFL7108S device:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) LC550EUF (PF) (F1).
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with the power supply, controlled by the BD9479FV PWM controller.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PHILIPS 55PFL7108S TV are generated by the FSP159-4FS01 power supply module or its analogs using the FSB117H (Standby 8pin), FAN7930C (PFC), SSC9522S (PWM resonant) microcircuits.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a module 310431366185, using chips FUSION P120 FNP102-B2E31, TAS5731, 29F8G08ABABA and others.
The SUT-RE214AN tuner provides TV reception and channel tuning.
