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 recommendations for repairing TV LCD
Possible malfunctions
- The SONY KDL-26BX320 TV does not turn on and does not show any signs of operability. There is no reaction to either the remote control or the control buttons from the front panel.
Usually with such manifestations, the main power module APS-283 is found to be faulty. First of all, in this case, you should check the operation of the standby converter implemented on the MIP2H2 PWM controller.
With its serviceability, it is necessary to measure the output voltage of the main source. In the case of a complete absence of voltage in the secondary circuits, it is necessary to check the serviceability of power switches and rectifier diodes of the converters for the presence of a possible short circuit.
In the event of a breakdown in the secondary circuits of the converter, it can usually fail in short circuit mode, and in the event of a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the main fuse or current sensor at the source of the key most often breaks.
The breakdown of Mos-Fet keys used in pulsed sources is often caused by malfunctions of other elements, for example, power supply, frequency-setting, damper ... as well as elements of the Negative Stabilization Feedback.
PWM circuits MIP2H2, CXA3810 are usually checked by replacing with working ones.
- There is no image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control, channels are switched. In some cases, the image appears when you turn on and immediately disappears.
These manifestations can be triggered by the power module, or by inverter defects, as well as by the distortion of the currents in the lamps due to their uneven wear. If all the electrolytic capacitors of the filter according to the power supply of the inverter are serviceable, you should make sure that the lamps are in good working condition, then you need to check the converter keys and the secondary windings of the transformers.
Sometimes, for diagnostic purposes, it is necessary to disable the inverter protection. In such cases, special care must be taken during work, and the protection circuits should be restored immediately after the repair is completed.
- 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 MT66-EU 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). If it is not possible to replace the MB (SSB) card, you need to check the health of its elements - MT5135AE, STA3698WS, PS331. Defective components should be replaced.
Before changing the SUT-RE205TN tuner, if it is not possible to tune to television channels, make sure that there are supply voltages that must be measured at the corresponding tuner pins and check the software for correctness. The pulses of the data exchange of the tuner with the processor can be controlled by 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.
