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
It is advisable to start the repair and diagnostics of the SONY KDL-37V5500 TV with a careful external examination of the internal and external elements, including case parts, a display, buttons, and cables. In some cases, visible external damage to the elements can suggest directions for troubleshooting and localizing the defect before starting the necessary measurements at the control points of the nodes of electronic circuits. In some cases, faulty elements can be seen with the naked eye, for example, charred resistors or swollen metal-ceramic capacitors, or electrolytic in rectifier filters. Ring cracks formed in the soldered terminals of transformers or heating elements of the circuit are also frequent sources of many malfunctions with a variety of external manifestations.
Faults in the G4 3H267W-1 PSC10270D M power supply module can be expressed in different ways, for example, the SONY KDL-37V5500 does not turn on at all and the control lamps on its front panel do not light up and do not blink, and there are no signs of operability. When diagnosing and repairing the G4 3H267W-1 PSC10270D M power supply unit, it is first necessary to check the fuse, and if it breaks, the power switch and rectifier bridge diodes should be checked for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
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 for no reason, which should be sought by checking other elements of the primary circuit - electrolytic capacitors, PWM controller SSC9503 (16) A6079M dezh (7), which You can check only by replacement, as well as other semiconductor elements (diodes, transistors, zener diodes).
It is somewhat more difficult to look for a malfunction in the converter of the power module with an active KKM (power factor corrector).
If the SONY KDL-37V5500 TV does not have an image, but there is sound, the malfunction should be sought in the power converter of the backlight (inverter). It is also necessary to check the serviceability of the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers of the BP (power supply) for an overstated ESR.
Repair of the VIT865.50 inverter can often be somewhat complicated by the use of special protection circuits, which are designed to disconnect it in emergency cases for fire safety when the lamps are depressurized, or short circuits or breaks in high-voltage circuits and connections. Sometimes it becomes necessary for diagnostic purposes to block the protection circuits in order to be able to make the necessary measurements at the control points of the circuit.
It should be remembered that when the protection is turned off, there is always a risk of failure of the inverter power elements during diagnosis. After repair, it is necessary to restore all standard converter protection circuits.
The malfunction of the BTD-HF422T 8-597-700-00 tuner is established after checking the software and all the supply voltages at its terminals, including the varicap supply voltage (30-33V).
Owners and users of the SONY KDL-37V5500 TV must remember that self-repair without special knowledge, skills and qualifications can be fraught with negative consequences that can lead to complete non-repairability of the device!
