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!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

REPAIR / SERVICING TV AKIRA LCT-32EL0SSTP

Technical description and composition of the TV AKIRA LCT-32EL0SSTP, type of panel and applicable modules. The composition of the modules.
AKIRA
Model: LCT-32EL0SSTP
Chassis / Version: VCB4100
Panel: LC320W01
MainBoard: VCB4100
IC MainBoard: CPU: VCT49X, MST5151; AUDIO: TPA3004D2
Tuner: TECH2949PG40B (D)
Appearance
AKIRA LCT-32EL0SSTP
General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
Possible malfunctions
- The AKIRA LCT-32EL0SSTP TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, and does not blink with any indicators.
In most of these cases, the main switching power supply is faulty. It is necessary to measure its secondary output voltages, and in case of their absence, check the serviceability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes for a short circuit.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in a short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse usually breaks.
The breakdown of Mos-Fet keys used in pulsed sources is often caused by malfunctions of other elements, for example, power supply, frequency-setting, damper ... as well as elements of the Negative Stabilization Feedback. The PWM chip can also cause a malfunction of the power switch of the converter and is checked by replacement.
- There is no image, but there is sound and reaction to commands from the remote control. Or the image appears immediately after turning on and disappears.
These manifestations can be triggered by a power module, or by defects in the inverter, as well as a 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.
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 indicator blinks or lights constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the VCB4100 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, it is necessary to check its CPU components: VCT49X, MST5151; AUDIO: TPA3004D2. 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 malfunction of the TECH2949PG40B (D) tuner 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.
Attention to users! Self-repair of the AKIRA LCT-32EL0SSTP TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!
