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 repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible malfunctions
- The PHILIPS 55PFS8159 TV does not turn on and does not show any signs of operability at all. There is no reaction to the remote control and control buttons from the front panel.
In some of these cases, the main switching power supply, the FSP143-4FS01 module, is faulty. Then it is necessary to measure its output voltages and, in case of their complete or partial absence, it is necessary to check the serviceability of power switches (N-FET TO-220F) and rectifier diodes of converters for possible short circuit.
In case of breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually work abnormally in the short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse often breaks.
The breakdown of Mos-Fet keys used in pulsed sources is often caused by malfunctions of other elements, for example, in the power supply circuit of a PWM controller, in frequency-setting or damping circuits, as well as in Negative Stabilization Feedback. PWM, PWM, PWM microchips are usually checked by replacing with new ones, or obviously working.
- There is no image, but there is sound and all other functions work. Sometimes when you turn on the image for a second appears and disappears.
As a rule, in this case, the LED backlight turns out to be faulty. The reason can be found in the malfunction of the LEDs, in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips, or in the provision of their power (LED-driver).
To check the LED lines for breaks without disassembling the panel, for example, a current source will help. It is impossible to open series-connected PN junctions with a simple multimeter, a voltage of the order of several tens of volts is required.
- The indicator on the front panel blinks, the TV does not turn on in operating mode, it does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the 715RLPCB0000000055 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). Often, the MB (SSB) card must be replaced in case of complex malfunctions that are difficult to detect. When trying to repair, you should check its elements - 88DE6010, TDA8296HN, W25Q64FVSSIG, LNBH26LSPQR, RT9187GSP and replace failed chips with new ones. Some malfunctions may be due to the use of BGA soldering technologies in modern Main Board technologies. Typically, such defects are detected by local heating of the chip.
If there is no reception of television channels, but the TV is working properly from external devices, first of all you need to check the voltage of the tuner PE631AN and update the software. The pulses from the I2C bus must be controlled with an oscilloscope.
Once again, we remind TV users: you should not make attempts to repair it yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Entrust repair to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of repair of electronic equipment.

Main features of the PHILIPS 55PFS8159 device:
Installed matrix (LED panel) TPT550J1-HJ06 REV: SC1E.
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with a power supply, controlled by a BD9479FV PWM controller. As the power elements of the LED driver, keys of the N-FET TO-252 type are used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PHILIPS 55PFS8159 television are generated by the FSP143-4FS01 power supply module or its analogs using PFC, PWM microcircuits, and N-FET TO-220F type power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a module 715RLPCB0000000055, using chips 88DE6010, TDA8296HN, W25Q64FVSSIG, LNBH26LSPQR, RT9187GSP and others.
The tuner PE631AN provides TV reception and channel tuning.
