General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
TV AKAI LEA-19L14G, like many other electronic devices, it is advisable to start repairing by inspecting all external and internal elements. Often, by the external signs and nature of the damage to the elements, it becomes possible to draw some conclusions and determine a further algorithm for finding a defect before making the necessary measurements at control points. 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.
In cases where the AKAI LEA-19L14G 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 when turning on, the AYO36D-1SF10 power supply module is most likely faulty or there is no processor power on the motherboard (a typical defect of some AKAI TVs). It is advisable to start the troubleshooting of the power supply module by checking the state of the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filters and the mains fuse. Defective capacitors should be replaced. If the mains fuse is broken, it is necessary to check first of all the power semiconductor elements - rectifier diodes and transistors, which are often found in such a state of breakdown.
In most cases, key breakdowns in switching power supplies (SMPS) do not occur for no reason and you should look for other faulty circuit elements that could provoke a defect. This can be dried electrolytic capacitors in the primary circuit, and faulty damper elements, as well as dangling resistors or punched semiconductor elements in the stabilization circuits. Possible defective PWM chip from the manufacturer.
If the AKAI LEA-19L14G TV does not have an image, but there is sound, a malfunction in the LED backlight circuits of the V185B1-LE1-M panel is likely. It is also necessary to check the serviceability of the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers of the PSU (power supply) for an overstated ESR.
To check the health of the LEDs and contact connections in their power circuit, the panel must be disassembled.
It should be remembered that it is not possible to determine the open circuit in the LED lines without disassembling the panels with a tester or multimeter without an additional device, for example, a current source. To open all PN junctions connected in series at once, a voltage of several tens of volts may be required.
If the motherboard AS-MST6M182VG-LE2 is faulty, first of all it is necessary to check all the linear stabilizers or power converters of its chips, and also, if necessary, update the software. Sometimes you can check the health of MB only by replacement.
Board repair and replacement of chips EN25Q32B, YD1517P, Tuner: ET-6N1E-CF101R are carried out with the necessary equipment, and the corresponding element base. Faults associated with the application of BGA processor soldering technologies can be localized by the heating method.
If the TV works normally from external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the tuner ET-6N1E-CF101R 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).
Attention to the owners! Attempts to independently repair the AKAI LEA-19L14G TV are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

Key Features of the AKAI LEA-19L14G:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) V185B1-LE1 M.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) M185B3-L01-X + C.
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with a power supply, controlled by the OB335OCP PWM controller. As power elements of the LED driver, keys of the type ME25N06 are used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the AKAI LEA-19L14G TV are generated by the AY036D-1SF10 power supply module or its analogs using PWM SOT23-6 (LQP 36R) microcircuits.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an AS-MST6M182VG-LE2 module, using chips EN25Q32B, YD1517P and others.
The ET-6N1E-CF101R tuner provides television reception and channel tuning.
