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-3018LW
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
MYSTERY MTV-3018LW, like other electronic devices, is recommended to start troubleshooting and repair with an external inspection of the external and internal elements. 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.
Malfunctions of the power module can be expressed in different ways, for example, the MYSTERY MTV-3018LW does not turn on at all and the control lamps on its front panel do not light up and do not blink, and there are no signs of operability. It should be noted that with the same external manifestations, the processor power regulator (converter) 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.
In cases where the MYSTERY MTV-3018LW TV has lost its image, and the sound is there and all other functions are operational, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the LED driver (converter for powering the backlight LEDs of the V290BJ1-PE1 panel). 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.
Often in the absence of backlighting, disassembling the panel is required. It is necessary to check the serviceability of the transitions of the LEDs, as well as the reliability of the contact connections in the lines and connectors.
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.
In cases of attempts to repair the motherboard MSTV2407-ZC01-01, it is necessary to check the operability of the stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits and, if possible, update the software (software). BGA chips can in most cases be diagnosed by local heating.
Complex repair of MB (SSB) is possible only in the conditions of a service center with the necessary equipment. Checking or replacing FLASH elements: EN25Q32 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.
If the TV works normally from external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the tuner F35WT-2A-E may be malfunctioning. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals, as well as the power supply of varicaps (30-33V).
Once again, we remind TV users: you should not make attempts to repair it yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Trust the repair only to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of electronic equipment repair.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM  / SERVICE MANUAL   ------------------>    MYSTERY Main MSTV2407-ZC01-01
 

 If a failure occurs in the SPI FLASH Winbond software, we recommend that you replace the chip with a new one. In addition, faulty Winbond microcircuits can sometimes recover for a while after being heated by a soldering station or even a lighter, which is enough to read its regular contents.

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.
