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-2618LW
MYSTERY MTV-2618LW
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Repair of electronic equipment usually begins with its external inspection and diagnosis of the malfunction. In this case, you should examine all the internal components of the MYSTERY MTV-2618LW TV, as well as the external elements of the case. 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. 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 the absence of any signs of operability, when the MYSTERY MTV-2618LW does not turn on and does not signal anything with the control lights on the panel, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the TV power module. With the same manifestations, the power regulator of the control processor on the motherboard may be faulty. When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, first of all, replace the swollen capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers and check the fuse and, if it is broken, it is necessary to identify the cause. Often in such cases, an avalanche (thermal) breakdown is detected in the power semiconductor elements of the module — rectifier diodes and transistors in the primary circuit.
In most cases, key breakdowns in switching power supplies (SMPS) do not occur for no reason and you should look for other faulty circuit elements that could provoke a defect. This can be dried electrolytic capacitors in the primary circuit, and faulty damper elements, as well as dangling resistors or punched semiconductor elements in the stabilization circuits. Possible defective PWM chip from the manufacturer.
If the MYSTERY MTV-2618LW does not have an image, there is sound and the channels switch, there is a possibility of a malfunction in the backlight LED circuit of the V260B2-LE11 panel, or their power converter - LED driver. Sometimes when you turn on the image appears and disappears immediately. In such cases, it is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the power filter of the LED driver itself, including in the secondary rectifier of the main PSU.
To check the health of the LEDs and contact connections in their power circuit, the panel must be disassembled.
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.
Repair or diagnostics of the MSTV3208-ZC01-01 motherboard should begin by checking the stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. If necessary, you should update the software (software).
Often, the MB (SSB) card must be replaced in case of complex malfunctions that are difficult to detect. When trying to repair, you should check its elements - CPU: MST6E48RHS-LF-Z1, SPI FLASH: S25FL032K and replace failed chips with new ones. Some malfunctions may be due to the use of BGA soldering technologies in modern Main Board technologies. Typically, such defects are detected by local heating of the chip.
Once again, remind users! Attempts to self-repair a TV MYSTERY MTV-2618LW without the appropriate qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM  / SERVICE MANUAL   ------------------>    MYSTERY MTV-2618LW V1L04, Main MSTV3208-ZC01-01, Panel: V260B2-LE11

 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 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.
