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-1921LD
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Repair and diagnostics of any electronic device, in particular MYSTERY MTV-1921LD, it is advisable to start with a careful external examination of internal and external elements. Based on visible external changes in the state of the components, it is often possible to determine the direction of the troubleshooting before making the necessary measurements. If charred resistors, swollen electrolytic or cermet capacitors, ring cracks in the soldered terminals of transformers or heating elements are detected, it is advisable to establish the causes and consequences of the malfunction that has arisen, as well as to check the connected elements and assemblies.
If the MTV-1921LD TV does not turn on, does not make any sounds when it is turned on, and also no indicators light up or blink on the front panel, there is a high probability of a malfunction in the power supply module. In some cases, there may be a malfunction only in standby power. 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.
If the power keys of the pulse converter are not equal, you should pay attention to other elements in their bundling, which may be the result or cause of their breakdown.
Sometimes the MYSTERY MTV-1921LD TV does not have an image, but there is sound, or the image appears and immediately disappears. In this case, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the converter of the backlight LEDs of the HT185WX3 panel, or a break in the LED circuit is possible. In such cases, first of all, it is necessary to verify the operability of the electrolytic capacitors of the filter by supplying the LED driver itself, including the PSU.
To check the health of the LEDs and contact connections in their power circuit, the panel must be disassembled.
It is impossible to check the line of series-connected LEDs without a special current source, and for this purpose it is not safe to use any voltage sources above 12V for them. Then it remains only to open the panel and check each LED separately. Usually, Chinese 9V-powered multimeters light up one LED slightly if you connect the probes in the forward direction, the red probe to the anode, and the black to the cathode.
Repair of the MSTV3208-ZC01-01 motherboard must begin with the diagnosis and verification of all linear stabilizers and power converters of its microcircuits. Sometimes it may be necessary to update the software (software) - flashing FLASH or EEPROM.
In cases of attempts to repair the MB board (SSB), it is necessary to check the health of its elements - CPU: MST6M48RHS-LF-Z1; SPI Flash: 25L3206E; Sound: TPA3113D2 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).
If the TV works normally from external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the F21WT-3BAR-E tuner may be malfunctioning. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals. Sometimes the cause of the inoperability of the tuner may be a software failure.
Owners and users of the MYSTERY MTV-1921LD TV must 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!

FIRMWARE FOR SPI FLASH  ----------->   MYSTERY MTV-1921LD, Main: MSTV3208-ZC01-01, Panel: HT185WX3

 The appearance of the MainBoard MSTV3208-ZC01-01 is shown in the figure below:
The motherboard MSTV3208-ZC01-01 is made using the multifunction microprocessor MST6M48RHS-LF, which includes a scaler (graphic controller-scaler). To organize the work of the processor, the external RAM H5PS5162GFR 512Mb DDR2 SDRAM in BGA version and SPI FLASH 25Q32 (4Mb) are used. To provide power to the processor core, a DC / DC converter with an output voltage of 1.2V is used, assembled on the basis of the MP1482 PWM controller. Other nodes of the processor are powered by linear voltage stabilizers 2.5V, 3.3V. 1.8V voltage is used to power the DDR RAM, 3.3V is needed for the SPI FLASH ROM.
It is advisable to start the MainBoard repair by checking the supply voltage in Stand-by mode 5V and 3.3V. In operating mode, check the operation of all linear stabilizers and the DC / DC converter. If there is a backlight and there is no image, you need to check the power of the 5V or 12V panel (depending on the type of LCD panel), which should be present directly on the LVDS connector.
If the indicator signals Stand-by mode and does not respond to the remote control and control buttons, it is recommended to update the SPI Flash software. Taking into account the glitchiness of Winbond SPI chips, it is advisable to replace them with new ones in case of software failures.
