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!

TCL 29B340
General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
Possible manifestations of defects
- The TCL 29B340 TV does not turn on at all. There is no reaction to the remote control and control buttons from the front panel. Indicator lights do not light or flash.
Most often, with such manifestations, the PLC80P main power module turns out to be faulty. It is necessary to measure its output voltages and, if they are absent, check the operability of power switches (TK12A50D) and rectifier diodes in the converters for possible breakdown.
In case of breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually work abnormally in the short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse often breaks.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies usually fail due to a malfunction of other elements that can put it out of operation in key mode or provoke an excess of the maximum current or voltage. These can be circuits supplying the PWM controller, damping or frequency-setting circuits, or elements of OOS (negative feedback) in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers (PWM) FAN7930C, OB2283B, in the absence of external damage and short circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing with obviously good ones.
- There is no image, there is sound, it is responding to the remote control. Or immediately after turning on for a second, the image may appear and immediately disappear.
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. If all the electrolytic capacitors of the filter according to the inverter power supply are serviceable, you should make sure that the lamps are working, then you need to check the converter keys and the secondary windings of the transformers.
If in diagnosing a malfunction, it is necessary to disable the inverter protection, there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter, and special care is required during work, and after they are finished, it is necessary to restore the protection circuits for further safe operation of the TV by the owner in normal mode.
- The TV does not turn on, the indicator indicates standby or operating mode, or blinks.
Repair or diagnostics of the 40-0MS82D-MAD2LG motherboard should begin by checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the microcircuit and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (software). Often, the MB (SSB) card needs to be replaced in case of complex faults that are difficult to detect. When trying to repair it, you should check its elements - CPU: MST6M182VG-LF-Z1, SPI Flash: 25Q32, Audio: STA380BW and replace failed chips with new ones. Some malfunctions may be due to the use of BGA soldering technologies in modern Main Board technologies. Typically, such defects are detected by local heating of the chip.
In the absence of tuning to the channels of on-air or cable television, you should make sure that the software is correct, as well as in accordance with the ratings of the supply voltage at the terminals of the tuner XF-3SA 07-389SI3-NF1G. It is also necessary to check the presence of pulses of data exchange between the tuner and the processor via the I2C bus using an oscilloscope.
Attention to users! Self-repair of the TCL 29B340 TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!
