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 repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Repair of TVs, as well as other devices, it is advisable to start with an external examination. According to some external signs of a change in the state of some elements, it is sometimes possible to make assumptions about the nature of the defect, as well as determine the further direction of the troubleshooting. Ring cracks in the soldering of the leads of the heating elements, swollen electrolytic capacitors, a charred paint layer on the resistors - all this for the repairman can be a significant clue in the assumptions about the causes and consequences of the malfunction.
If the APS 298 power supply module fails, the external manifestations may be different, for example, the SONY KDL-46EX720 does not turn on at all and there is no indication of the control lights on the front panel. After checking the mains fuse and power elements of the primary power supply circuit, it should also check the absence of a short circuit in the loads of the secondary rectifiers.
It should be borne in mind that in the practice of repair it is extremely rare that key transistors in switching power supplies (SMPS) fail for no reason that should be sought by checking other components, for example, a breakdown of the key can provoke faulty elements of the damper circuits, or dried electrolytic capacitors or dangling primary resistors BP circuits involved in the stabilization process. In this case, all semiconductor elements of the strapping of the PWM controller chip are subject to verification, which it is desirable to verify by replacement.
If there is no image when you turn on the SONY KDL-46EX720, or it appears and immediately disappears, but there is sound, most likely there is a malfunction in the backlight LED circuit of the LTY460HJ05 3D 1080p Full HD panel, or in their power converter.
The lack of backlight often occurs due to an open circuit in the LED circuit. There is a need for disassembling the panel and checking the LEDs themselves, as well as the same contact connections in the connectors and rations of the terminals.
To detect a break in the LED lines without disassembling the panel, a current source is required. It is impossible to open transitions connected in series with a simple multimeter; voltage of several tens of volts is necessary.
Repair of the motherboard 1-883-753-32 BAT V must begin with the diagnosis and verification of all linear stabilizers and power converters of its microcircuits. Sometimes it may be necessary to update the software (software) - flashing FLASH or EEPROM.
We recommend the owners of the KDL-46EX720 TV for repair only to qualified specialists with experience! Self-repair attempts without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to serious negative consequences!
