General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
Any repair of electronic equipment begins with an external inspection of the device and diagnostics of the malfunction. In this case, you should visually carefully examine all the elements of the TOSHIBA 26A3000P TV, both internal and external. Visible damage to elements can sometimes suggest further directions for finding a defect before starting the necessary measurements. Experienced repairmen are often aware of the causes of the defect and the possible consequences, for example, from ring cracks in the soldering of the leads of the elements, as well as from swollen capacitors or resistors burnt to coal dust and other external indirect signs.
In cases where the TOSHIBA 26A3000P TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and buttons, no indicators on the front panel light up or blink and there are no sounds and no signs of operability at all, the power module is most likely faulty or, which happens much less often, there is no processor power on the motherboard. In this case, first of all, it is necessary to check the fuse at the input of the network. If it is broken, then you should check for breakdown of the PN junctions of the rectifier bridge diodes and the key transistor of the N-FET converter, which can either be on a separate radiator or integrated with a PWM controller in a common chip. Possible options.
The reasons for the breakdown of the power switch of the flyback converter of the power module can be different, for example, a malfunction of semiconductor elements or electrolytic capacitors in the stabilization circuits of the primary circuit, as well as a failure in the operation of the PWM controller chip or breakage of the resistors in its bundle.
In cases where the Power Factor Corrector (PFC) is used in the power supply, troubleshooting can be a bit more complicated.
In cases where the TOSHIBA 26A3000P TV has lost an image, and the sound is there and all other functions are operational, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the inverter (converter for powering the backlight). When you turn on the TV, the image may appear briefly and immediately disappear. It must be borne in mind that with such manifestations, the lamps themselves also fail, the malfunction of which can be detected by replacement, by connecting to the connectors for diagnostics that are known to be serviceable and suitable in power.
Repair of the inverter 75008448 can often be somewhat complicated by the use of special protection circuits, which are designed to disconnect it in emergency cases for fire safety during depressurization of lamps, 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.
When diagnosing with the protection off, special precautions must be taken, because there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter. After the diagnosis, it is imperative to restore the protection circuits for the inverter to operate normally.
Attention to users! Self-repair of the TOSHIBA 26A3000P TV without the appropriate qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!
