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!

General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible malfunctions
- MYSTERY MTV-2231LT2 does not turn on, the indicators on the front panel do not light or flash. The TV does not respond to the control buttons and the remote control.
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 MS308C1-ZC01-01 main board. It is necessary to measure its output supply voltage, and in case of their absence, check the serviceability of the power switches (SMK0870F) of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of breakdown in PN semiconductor junctions.
In the event of breakdowns in the secondary circuits of the converter, it can usually fail in short circuit mode, and in the event of a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse or current sensor at the source of the key most often 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, but there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image appears when you turn it on and immediately disappears
As a rule, in such cases there is no display backlight. The reason for this may be a break in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
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 a single 3-volt LED, if you connect the probes in the forward direction, the red probe to the anode, and the black to the cathode. 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 indicator blinks or lights constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the motherboard MS308C1-ZC01-01 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 some cases, to repair the MB board (SSB), it may be necessary to replace the chips - CPU: MSD308BEM, SPI Flash: GD25Q64, AUDIO: TPA1517 with new or obviously good ones. In cases where BGA technologies are used, defects are usually localized by the heating method.
Before replacing the TDA18275 tuner, if there is no tuning to the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its terminals. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus
Once again, remind users! Attempts to independently repair the MYSTERY MTV-2231LT2 TV without the appropriate qualifications and necessary experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!


FIRMWARE FOR SPI FLASH  ----------->   MYSTERY MTV-2231LT2 V2P05, Main: MS308C1-ZC01-01, Panel: LC215DT4A


 To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with the AP3064 controller (AP3064AM), it is necessary to proportionally increase the resistance of the resistor from pin 2 (ISET) to the housing. The maximum current in each of the four channels (in milliamperes) for the Rset resistor (in kilo-ohms) is determined from the ratio 1200 / Rset.

Main features of the MYSTERY MTV-2231LT2 device:
Installed matrix (LED panel) LC215DT4A.
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter is used, combined with the main board MS308C1-ZC01-01, controlled by the AP3064, OB3350 PWM controller. As the power elements of the LED driver, keys of the MDD1951 type are used.
The power module is combined with the MainBoard and is designed according to the flyback AC / DC voltage converter using PWM SOT23-6 microcircuits and power switches of the SMK0870F type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an MS308C1-ZC01-01 module, using CPU chips: MSD308BEM, SPI Flash: GD25Q64, AUDIO: TPA1517 and others.
The TDA18275 tuner provides television reception and channel tuning.
