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
In cases where the TOSHIBA 37RL833R 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 or any signs of operability when turning on, the PSLF161502A V71A00021500 power supply module is most likely faulty or there is no power standby mode. In the general case, first of all, it is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters and the fuse at the input of the network. If it is cut off, then it is necessary to check the diodes of the rectifier bridge and the key transistor of the converter for a breakdown of the PN junctions, which can either be on a separate radiator or integrated with a PWM controller in a common chip. Possible options.
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.
If the image appears and immediately disappears when the TV is turned on, or it is initially absent when it is turned on, but the sound has other functions that work, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the display backlight LEDs or the LED driver (power converter for the backlight of the LC370EUN (SD) panel (V1)).
Often there is a need for disassembling the panel to check the health of the LEDs, as well as contact connections in the connectors and soldering.
It should be remembered that it is not possible to determine the open circuit in the LED lines without disassembling the panels with a tester or multimeter without an additional device, for example, a current source. To open all PN junctions connected in series at once, a voltage of several tens of volts may be required. Then it is necessary to open the panel and check each LED separately with a multimeter. If the capabilities of your multimeter do not allow you to open the LED in the forward direction or dual LEd are used, then the PN junction of the emergency zener diode can indirectly serve as a health indicator. In case of LED-a failure, the zener diode PN junction will either be cut off or broken into short-circuit.
The motherboard PE0957 V28A001258A1 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.
The malfunction of the ENGS7305D5F tuner is established after checking the software and all the supply voltages at its terminals. The data exchange of the tuner with the processor via the I2C bus can be controlled by an oscilloscope.
Attention! For users and owners of 37RL833R TVs who do not have the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience, we strongly recommend against self-repair attempts to avoid negative consequences that could lead to complete non-repairability of the device.

Key Features of the TOSHIBA 37RL833R:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) LC370EUN (SD) (V1).
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) 6870C-0374A.
The LED driver 6917L-0056C is used to power the backlight LEDs.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the TOSHIBA 37RL833R TV are generated by the PSLF161502A power module, or its analogs using PWM chips.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a PE0957 module.

Attention! The TOSHIBA 37RL833 LED TV panel LC370EUN (SD) (V1) is an expensive and unreliable element.
Avoid any impact on the glass and pressure on the surface of the screen to avoid damage to the LED panel!
It is also unsafe to get liquid on the screen. Sometimes one drop is enough if it flows down the glass onto the cables so that the TV becomes unrepairable.
