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
It is advisable to start diagnosing a malfunction of the SONY KDL-32BX320 TV, like all others, with an external examination of possible changes, both external and internal elements. It often happens that some damage to elements or connections will help determine the correct direction of troubleshooting and localization of the defect. Swollen electrolytic or cermet capacitors, charred resistors, ring cracks in the soldered terminals of the elements - all this can significantly help the master to determine the causes and consequences of the malfunction of the TV.
Sometimes the SONY KDL-32BX320 TV simply does not turn on. No control lights on the front panel are lit or blinking, the TV does not respond to the remote control and does not make any sounds or any signs of life when turned on. The most likely cause of the malfunction is the failure of the APS-283 (ID) G13 common power module. If the mains fuse is broken in the power supply, in most cases a breakdown of the K5A50D power switch is detected, which can be integrated with a PWM controller, or a separate field-effect transistor can be used. The rectifier bridge diodes and the electrolytic capacitor of the mains rectifier filter should also be checked.
It should be remembered that in the practice of repair, usually the power keys of N-Fet converters do not fail due to their poor quality and, in such cases, it is necessary to look for the cause that led to a malfunction and provoked a breakdown of the key. Most often, the culprits of the accident are dried electrolytic capacitors or dangling resistors in the primary circuit, or the PWM controller chip MIP2H2 (7), A3810M (24) may be faulty. It is also necessary to check all the semiconductor elements of the stabilization circuit in the primary and secondary circuit.
If an active Power Factor Corrector (PFC) is used in the power module circuitry, it is sometimes more difficult to troubleshoot. Knowledge, experience, intuition and skills in such cases have a great advantage for a successful repair.
In cases where the SONY KDL-32BX320 TV has lost an image, and the sound is there and all other functions are operational, there is a possibility of an inverter (converter for powering the backlight) malfunction. When you turn on the TV, the image may appear briefly and immediately disappear. It must be borne in mind that with such manifestations, the lamps themselves also fail, the malfunction of which can be detected by replacement, by connecting to the connectors for diagnostics that are known to be serviceable and suitable in power.
The diagnosis of the T73I041.00 REV.0 inverter can be difficult due to the protection being triggered, which is organized by the designers to prevent negative consequences or fires in emergency cases, for example, during short circuits or breaks in the lamp power supply circuit, as well as their possible depressurization. To make the necessary measurements at control points or to take the necessary waveforms, repairmen have to block the protection circuits in order to be able to diagnose.
When disabling protection for diagnostic purposes, it must be remembered that in this case there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter. Upon completion of the diagnosis, all regular protection circuits should be restored.
In cases of attempts to repair the motherboard A, it is necessary to check the operability of the power supply stabilizers of the microcircuits and, if possible, update the software (software). In some cases, they require checking or replacing (if necessary) the elements of the MB board (SSB) - MT5135AE, STA3698WS,.
It should be remembered! Attempts to repair the SONY KDL-32BX320 TV, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!

The appearance of the power supply
Main features of the device SONY KDL-32BX320:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) T315XW03 V.E.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) T315XW04.
To power the backlight, an inverter T73I041.00 is used, it is controlled by the PWM controller OZ9966SN (24). A transformer LT 136 A0843 005 1125V TT3-3 is installed in the inverter converter. As power elements of the inverter, keys of the type AO D4184 (3) are used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SONY KDL-32BX320 TV are generated by the APS-283 power module or its analogs using MIP2H2 (7), A3810M (24) microcircuits and K5A50D type power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an MT66_EU module, using chips MT5135AE, STA3698WS and others.
