General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible malfunctions
- The TOSHIBA 40TL938 TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and buttons on the control panel, does not light up or blink indicators.
Most likely, in this case, the main switching power supply (MPS) N150A002L is faulty. Then we recommend that you measure its output voltages and, if they are absent, you should check the health of the power switches (K12A50D) and the rectifier diodes of the converters for possible short circuit.
In case of any breakdown of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually work normally in emergency short circuit mode. There are no output voltages. And with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, as a rule, the mains fuse breaks and less often the current sensor at the source of the key.
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 controllers A6069, FAN6961 (PFC), L6577B, in the absence of visible damage or explicit short-circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing with new ones, or obviously working.
- There is no image, there is sound, it responds to the remote control, the channels are switched. In some cases, the image appears when you turn on and immediately disappears.
In some of these cases, the malfunction is caused by a lack of backlighting on the display. The reason can be both in the power supply of the LEDs, in their serviceability (breakdown or breakage), as well as in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips.
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 PE1091 motherboard should begin by checking the stabilizers and power converters needed to power the chips and matrix. If necessary, update or replace the software (software). Complex repair of MB (SSB) is possible only in the conditions of a service center with the necessary equipment. Checking or replacing elements MSD8881, K4B2G1646E, K4B1G1446G, TAS5708 requires the necessary training and professional skills in repairing modules at the component level. Problems associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can sometimes be diagnosed by warming up.
If a TDSS-G224D tuner is suspected of malfunction, first of all, it is necessary to verify the correctness of the software, as well as the presence of the necessary supply voltage levels and data exchange pulses with the processor via the I2C bus at the corresponding tuner terminals.
TV users and owners need to remember that attempts to repair the TOSHIBA 40TL938 TV independently without the appropriate qualifications and necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!

Attention! The V400NK2-LS5 panel of a TOSHIBA 40TL938 LED TV 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.
