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!

REPAIR / SERVICING TV TCL 26A33H

Technical description and composition of the TV TCL 26A33H, type of panel and applicable modules. The composition of the modules.
TCL
Model: 26A33H
Chassis / Version: 40-MT5362-MAB4XG
Panel: T260XW02 V.P
Lamp backlight: 8 Lamp CCFL
Inverter (backlight): V225-402HF
MainBoard: 40-MT5362-MAB4XG

Tuner: TDQG8-601A
Specifications 26A33H
TCL 26A33H
General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
Possible manifestations of defects
- The TCL 26A33H TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and the control panel buttons, does not light up or blink indicators.
Typically, with such manifestations, the defect is caused by faulty elements in the main power module. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and in case of their absence, check the operability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of a short circuit.
In case of breakdowns of diodes in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in emergency short circuit mode without output voltages, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse and / or current sensor at the source of the key usually breaks.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in pulsed sources is sometimes caused by malfunctions of other circuit elements, for example, in circuits supplying a PWM controller, frequency-setting or damper ones, as well as in negative feedback (OOS) stabilization circuits. PWM regulators (PWM) IC_Power, if they do not have visible damage to the case and open fault between the terminals, are usually checked by replacement.
- There is no image, there is sound, it responds to the remote control. Or the image may appear for a second when turned 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. After checking all the electrolytic capacitors of the filters that are involved in the power supply of the inverter, it is necessary to ring in its converter the power switches for breakdown and the secondary windings of the transformers for an open.
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 circuit should be restored immediately after the repair is completed.
- The indicator blinks or lights constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the 40-MT5362-MAB4XG 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). When repairing an MB board, you need to check its components MT8295AE, TDA9886T, TDA1308, 24C16WP. Defective items should be replaced. If chips with BGA soldering technology are used, a problem in its implementation is detected by the local heating of the chip.
The TDQG8-601A tuner malfunction is established after checking the software and all supply voltages at its terminals. The data exchange of the tuner with the processor via the I2C bus can be controlled by an oscilloscope.
Once again, remind users! Attempts to independently repair the TCL 26A33H TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!
