General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible malfunctions
- The DEXP 46A7000 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.
The malfunction in such cases, first of all, should be sought in the power elements of a switching power supply (IIP) - a network voltage converter (AC / DC), which in this TV model is combined with the MainBoard TP.SIS231.PT82 main board. Then it is necessary to measure its output voltages and, in case of their complete or partial absence, it is necessary to check the serviceability of power switches and rectifier diodes of the converters for a possible 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.
Mos-Fet power switches, used in switching power supplies, sometimes fail due to a malfunction of any other elements that can put it out of operation in key mode or create an excess of the maximum permissible parameters of the switch. These can be elements supplying the PWM controller, frequency-setting or damping circuits, or negative feedback elements in the stabilization circuit. PWM SOT23-6 PWM controllers, in the absence of visible damage or obvious short-circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing with new ones, or obviously working.
- 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.
Often in such cases, there is no LED backlight. The reason for this may be a break in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
When diagnosing, it is necessary to take into account that it is impossible to check the open in the chain of LED lines without disassembling the panels using a tester or multimeter. To open all PN junctions connected in series, a voltage of the order of several tens of volts is required, and ideally, a current source. By opening the panel, each LED can be checked separately. Typically, Chinese multimeters light up a single 3-volt LED, if you connect probes in the forward direction to it. In dual 6-volt LEDs, the PN junction of its emergency zener diode can serve as an indicator of health. In the event of a LED malfunction, its zener diode will either be cut off or broken into short-circuit.
- The TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control. The indicator blinks or signals standby mode.
Repair or diagnostics of the TP.SIS231.PT82 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). In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the health of its elements - CPU: SIS231, AUDIO: TPA3110LD2, SPI Flash: 25Q32 which may require replacement with new ones. If a BGA processor is installed, there is a possibility of a violation of the soldering of the contacts of its conclusions with the board (it is diagnosed by heating).
Before replacing the NoName tuner, if there is no tuning to the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its terminals. You also need to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus
Owners and users of the DEXP 46A7000 TV should remember that self-repair without special knowledge, skills and qualifications can be fraught with negative consequences that can lead to complete non-repairability of the device!

Attention! The 46VNBTTSR4LV0.1 panel of the DEXP 46A7000 LED TV is an expensive and unreliable element.
Avoid any impact on the glass and pressure on the surface of the screen to avoid damage to the LED panel!
It is also unsafe to get liquid on the screen. Sometimes one drop is enough if it flows down the glass onto the cables so that the TV becomes unrepairable.
