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 manifestations of defects
- SHARP LC-29LE448RU 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.
Most likely, in this case, the CEP962A main switching power supply (MPS) is faulty. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and in case of their absence, check the operability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of a short circuit.
In case of any breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in emergency short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse or the current sensor at the source of the key more often breaks.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies usually fail due to a malfunction of other elements that can put it out of operation in key mode or provoke an excess of the maximum current or voltage. These can be circuits supplying the PWM controller, damping or frequency-setting circuits, or elements of OOS (negative feedback) in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers (PWM), in the absence of external damage and short circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing with obviously good ones.
- There is no image, but there is sound and reaction to commands from the remote control. Or the image appears immediately after turning on and disappears.
Usually in such cases, a malfunction is detected in the backlight nodes of the LED panel. The reason for this may be a break in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
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 the operating mode, it does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the T.VST59.96 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). Sophisticated MB board repair (SSB) is in some cases possible and practiced by repairmen. To do this, check and, if necessary, replace elements 25Q32B. BGA chip malfunctions are usually easy to detect by warming up.
Tuner malfunction Tuner is installed after checking the software and all the supply voltages at its terminals. The data exchange of the tuner with the processor via the I2C bus can be controlled by an oscilloscope.
We recommend the owners of the LC-29LE448RU TV for repair only to qualified specialists with the necessary work experience! Self-repair attempts without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!

Attention! The V290BJ1PE1 LED OR7A panel of the SHARP LC-29LE448 LED TV is an expensive and unreliable element.
Avoid any impact on the glass and pressure on the surface of the screen to avoid damage to the LED panel!
It is also unsafe to get liquid on the screen. Sometimes one drop is enough if it flows down the glass onto the cables so that the TV becomes unrepairable.
