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!

MYSTERY MTV-1628LW
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
MYSTERY MTV-1628LW, like other televisions, it is advisable to start repairing with a careful examination of the external and internal elements and modules. Sometimes, based on visible changes in the components of the device, it is possible to draw some conclusions and determine the direction of further troubleshooting even before the necessary measurements are taken. Swollen electrolytic or cermet capacitors, charred resistors, ring cracks in the soldered terminals of the elements - all this can significantly help the master to determine the causes and consequences of the malfunction of the TV.
Sometimes the MYSTERY MTV-1628LW TV simply does not turn on. No control lights on the front panel are lit or blinking, the TV does not respond to the remote control and does not make any sounds or any signs of life when turned on. The most likely cause of the malfunction is a failure of the common power module. If it is working properly, you need to check the processor batteries on the SSB (Main Board). When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, after replacing the swollen capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters (if any), you must first check the mains fuse. When it is broken, the power elements of transistors and rectifier bridge diodes should be checked for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
Power switches in pulsed power supplies (SMPS) fail extremely rarely for no reason and, if they are broken, it is necessary to look for a malfunction in the stabilization circuits by checking electrolytic capacitors, semiconductor devices, and resistors in the primary circuit. The cause may be a malfunction of the PWM controller chip, which can only be checked by replacing it with a new or obviously working one.
In cases where the MYSTERY MTV-1628LW TV has lost its image, and the sound is there and all the other functions are operational, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the LED driver (converter for powering the N156BGE-L21 backlight LEDs). When you turn on the TV, the image may appear briefly and disappear immediately. It must be borne in mind that with such manifestations the LEDs themselves also fail.
In most cases of lack of backlight, it becomes necessary to disassemble the panel in order to check the LEDs, connectors, loops and all contact connections. If one or several LEDs does not work in one line, therefore, they are broken and should be replaced.
It is impossible to check the LED line for breaks without disassembling the panel with a multimeter or tester. For these purposes, it is necessary to open all series-connected PN junctions and a voltage of the order of tens of volts will be required, and ideally, a current source.
On the CVMV29L-F motherboard, in case of a malfunction, you should first check the operation of all the stabilizers or power converters of the microcircuits and, if necessary, update the software (software).
Complex repair of MB (SSB) is possible only in the conditions of a service center with the necessary equipment. Checking or replacing elements Cpu: TSUMV59XU-Z1, Flash: Winbond 25Q32BVSIG requires the necessary training and professional skills to repair modules at the component level. Problems associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can be diagnosed by warming up.
The malfunction of the tuner CDT-3NP5I1-10 is established after checking the software and all the supply voltages at its terminals, including the varicap supply voltage (30-33V).
Attention! Users and owners of MTV-1628LW televisions who do not have the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience are strongly discouraged from attempting self-repair in order to avoid negative consequences that could lead to complete non-repairability of the device.

 In case of failures in the software of SPI FLASH microcircuits made by Winbond, they can for some time restore their working capacity after temperature exposure - heating by a hairdryer of a soldering station or even a lighter. Usually this is enough to read the regular contents of the software. In such cases, the chip must be replaced with a new one.
