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!

Main features of the SHARP LC-29LE448RU device:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) V290BJ1-PE1 LED OR7A.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) V290VJ1-XC01.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SHARP LC-29LE448RU TV are generated by the power module CEP962A, or its analogs.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a T.VST59.96 module, using 25Q32B chips and others.
The NoName tuner provides television reception and channel tuning.

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.
