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
Like any other TV, it is advisable to start repairing the SHARP LC-32D44RU-BK with an external examination of the visible changes in the external and internal elements. Any external damage can sometimes prompt the repairman to take further steps to determine the malfunction of the TV and localize 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 RUNTKA396WJQZ power module can be expressed in different ways, for example, the SHARP LC-32D44RU-BK 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. In this case, the diagnosis and repair of the common power supply should always be started by checking the mains fuse. When it breaks, it is advisable to check for a breakdown, first of all, all power semiconductor elements of the converter and the diode bridge of the network rectifier, as well as a large electrolytic capacitor of the filter of the network rectifier and a key transistor 2SK4096 (2 pcs.).
If a breakdown of the power switch of the flyback converter of the power supply unit is detected, it should be remembered that it does not fail without any reasons that should be sought by checking other elements of the primary circuit - electrolytic capacitors, PWM controller FA5500AN - PFC, TNY276PN - PWM BP DR, which You can check only by replacement, as well as other semiconductor elements (diodes, transistors, zener diodes).
In cases where the Power Factor Corrector (PFC) is used in the power supply, troubleshooting can be a bit more complicated.
If, when you turn on the TV, the image appears and immediately disappears, or is initially absent when you turn on, but there is sound and other functions work, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the inverter (power converter for the backlight). In such cases, the lamps, the inverter and the common power module are subject to verification, in which the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter feeding the inverter should be checked.
Diagnosis and repair of the inverter is often complicated by the organization of special protection circuits, which is necessary for fire safety and turns off the inverter in any emergency situation, for example, when the lamps are worn or depressurized. Often, to localize a defect, its blocking is required.
Turning off the protection for diagnostic purposes, it must be remembered that in this case there is a risk of failure of the inverter power elements. Upon completion of the diagnosis, all regular protection circuits should be restored.
If the QPWBXE449JN2 motherboard is faulty, first of all it is necessary to check all the linear power regulators of its chips and, if necessary, update the software. Sometimes you can check the health of MB only by replacement.
Attention to the owners! Attempts at self-repair of the SHARP LC-32D44RU-BK TV are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

The model LC-32D44RU-BK uses the RUNTKA396WJQZ 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 step-up converter based on the FA5500AN 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.
