General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Repair of the TOSHIBA 42SL738R TV should begin with a careful external examination of all its components and modules. Visible damage to elements can sometimes indicate the direction of the search for a defect even before the necessary measurements are taken. In most cases, the repairman can guess the causes of the defect and possible consequences from the characteristic signs of typical TV defects, for example, ring cracks formed in the soldering of the element leads, swollen rectifier filter capacitors, charred resistors and other circuit elements.
Sometimes the TOSHIBA 42SL738R TV simply does not turn on. No control lights on the front panel are lit or blinking, the TV does not respond to the remote control and does not make any sounds or any signs of life when turned on. The most likely cause of the malfunction is a failure of the general power module 715G4307-P02-H20-003U 42SL700A, ADTVA2416AAB. If it is working properly, you need to check the processor batteries on the SSB (Main Board). 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.
The reasons for the breakdown of the power switch in switching power supplies (IIPS) can be different, for example, a malfunction of semiconductor elements or electrolytic capacitors in the stabilization circuits of the primary circuit, as well as a failure in the operation of the A6069H PWM controller chip (7), or broken resistors in its bundle .
If, when you turn on the TV, the image appears and immediately disappears, or is missing initially when you turn on, but the sound has other functions that work, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the LED driver (power converter for the backlight LEDs of the LC420EUD-SCA2 panel). In such cases, the general power module is also subject to verification, in which the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter supplying the LED driver should be checked.
To check the health of the LEDs, as well as contact connections in the ruler circuit, it is necessary to disassemble the panel.
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.
If the motherboard CBPFA4ARA5 100Hz 715G4318-T01-000-005B MT8282AGG is faulty, first of all it is necessary to check all the linear stabilizers or power converters of its chips, and also, if necessary, update the software. Sometimes you can check the health of MB only by replacement.
If there is no reception of television channels, but the TV is working properly from external devices, first of all it is necessary to check the voltage of the varicap tuner ENV57S01D8RF, which is usually within 30-33V, as well as other supply voltages on the terminals of the tuner.
Attention! For users and owners of 42SL738R TVs who do not have the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience, we categorically do not recommend attempting self-repair in order to avoid negative consequences that could lead to complete non-serviceability of the device.

Key Features of the TOSHIBA 42SL738R:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) LC420EUD (SC) (A2).
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) 6870C-0319B.
The LED driver 6917L-0022B is used to power the backlight LEDs, it is controlled by the AS3693B, BA9743A PWM controller (16). As the power elements of the LED driver, keys of the AOB414 type are used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the TOSHIBA 42SL738R TV are generated by the 715G4307-P02-H20-003U power module, or its analogs using A6069H microcircuits (7) ,.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a 715G4357 module using NAND Flash chips: HY27US08281A; EEPROM: 24c32; and others.
The ENV57S01D8RF tuner provides TV reception and channel tuning.

Attention! The TOSHIBA 42SL738 LED TV panel LC420EUD (SC) (A2) 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.
