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!

Technical Specifications MTV-2418LW
MYSTERY MTV-2418LW
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
MYSTERY MTV-2418LW, like other electronic devices, is recommended to start troubleshooting and repair with an external inspection of the external and internal elements. Specific external damage to some elements can sometimes indicate further actions to determine the malfunction of the TV and localize the defect before the necessary measurements are taken. Ring cracks in the soldering of the leads of the heating elements, swollen electrolytic capacitors, a charred paint layer on the resistors - all this for the repairman can be a significant clue in the assumptions about the causes and consequences of the malfunction.
In cases when the MYSTERY MTV-2418LW TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and buttons, no indicators on the front panel light up or blink, and there are no sounds and no signs of operability when turning on, the power module is most likely faulty or there is no power processor on the motherboard (a typical defect of some MYSTERY TVs). 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.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies (SMPS) rarely fail for no reason to look for when checking other circuit elements. Often the breakdown is caused by malfunctions of electrolytic capacitors or semiconductor elements in the primary circuit, or by a break in the resistors in the stabilization circuits. The PWM controller chip can also cause a breakdown of the power switch of the converter.
If the MYSTERY MTV-2418LW does not have an image, but there is sound and the TV is controlled by the remote control, a malfunction in the backlight circuits of the HM236WUA-100 panel is likely. The LEDs or the power converter - LED driver may be faulty. Often in such cases, when you turn on the TV, an image appears and immediately disappears. First of all, it is necessary to verify the operability of the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter supplying the LED driver, and check the LEDs, connecting obviously known good diagnostics.
To check the health of the LEDs, as well as contact connections in the ruler circuit, it is necessary to disassemble the panel.
A break in the line of LEDs connected in series cannot be detected with a multimeter or tester without disassembling the panel. To open all the transitions, several tens of volts are needed, and it is best to use a current source for such purposes.
The motherboard MSTV2407-ZC01-01 must be checked if there is no reaction to the remote control and function buttons, the standby indicator blinks or lights up continuously. In such cases, if the converters or power regulators of the microcircuit are working, a software update may be necessary.
Sophisticated MB board repair (SSB) is in some cases possible and practiced by repairmen. To do this, check and, if necessary, replace the elements Cpu: MST6E181VS-LF-Z1, Spi Flash: 25Q32B. BGA chip malfunctions are usually easy to detect by warming up.
Before replacing the F35WT-2A-E tuner, if there is no tuning for the channels, you must first check the supply voltage at its terminals.
Once again, remind users! Attempts to self-repair a TV MYSTERY MTV-2418LW without the appropriate qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

FIRMWARE FOR SPI FLASH  ----------->   MYSTERY MTV-2418LW, Main: MSTV2407-ZC01-01, Panel: HM236WUA-100


 To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with the AP3039AM controller and the AP3608EM terminal stage (AP3039AM-G1 & AP3608EM-G1), the AP3608EM (AP3608E) microcircuit should proportionally increase the resistor from terminal 14 (ISET) to the housing. The maximum current in each channel (in milliamperes) for the Rset resistor (in kilo-ohms) is determined from the ratio 1.194V / Rset. In channels connected in parallel, the currents add up.
Repair MainBoard
The appearance of the MainBoard MSTV2407-ZC01-01 is shown in the figure below:
MSTV2407-ZC01-01
MSTV2407-ZC01-01 motherboard is combined with a power module. The processor is MST6E182VG, or MST6E181VG, made using BGA technology. Repair of the power module is carried out according to conventional technology, starting with checking its power elements. The following is a functional check of the converters for the processor power: + 1.3V, + 1.8V, 3.3V, based on SY8008B PWM controllers. The power supply of the built-in DDR 2.5V is generated from a 3.3V source using the P-N junction of the 1N4001 diode (3.3V-0.8V = 2.5V). Standby mode is organized from the linear stabilizer series 1117-3V3. The LCD panel is powered by either 5V or 12V, depending on the type of panel used.
