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 KLV-40V550A 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.
If the TV does not turn on, no indicators on its front panel are lit or blinking. Also, if the TV does not respond to the remote control and buttons, does not make any sounds or any signs of operability when turned on, there is a certain chance that the IP1 A1660720B power supply module is defective and needs repair. Sometimes with similar manifestations a problem can only occur in the absence of processor power, but this happens much less often. When repairing the power supply, it is advisable to start the diagnostics by checking the mains fuse and, in the event of a break, the cause should be sought in the power semiconductor elements of the pulsed flyback converter of the main PSU. First of all, it is necessary to check the diodes of the bridge of the rectifier of the mains voltage and the power switch of the converter, which can be installed separately on the radiator, or integrated with a PWM controller.
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 MIP2H2 (8). CXD9969P (16), which can only be checked by replacement, as well as other semiconductor elements (diodes, transistors, zener diodes).
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.
If when you turn on the SONY KLV-40V550A there is no image, or it appears for a second and disappears completely, but there is sound, most likely either the backlight or their power converter (inverter) are faulty. It is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers in the general power supply unit.
Often, attempts to repair an SSB400W12S01 Rev0.1 DARFON inverter are hampered by the fact that the diagnosis of the malfunction is complicated by the operation of its protection, which is designed to turn off the inverter in emergency conditions - when the lamps are depressurized, breaks or short circuits in high-voltage connections and other emergency situations. Lock protection to localize the defect is popular among repairmen.
All necessary precautions must be observed when disabling the inverter protection during diagnostics and not leaving it disconnected after the repair is completed.
The BAX2L motherboard must be checked if there is no reaction to the remote control and function buttons, the standby indicator blinks or lights up continuously. In such cases, if the power supply circuits of the microcircuits are working, a software update may be necessary.
If the TV works normally from external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the BTFBG442T 8-597-708-00 tuner may be malfunctioning. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals, as well as the power supply of varicaps (30-33V).
Once again, remind users! Attempts to self-repair a SONY KLV-40V550A TV without the appropriate qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!
