TOSHIBA 42VL863R
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
The TOSHIBA 42VL863R TV, like many other electronic devices, it is advisable to start repairing with an inspection of all external and internal elements. Using visible changes in the state of components, it is usually possible to determine the further direction of troubleshooting and localization of the defect before the necessary measurements are taken. Elements with visible damage, for example, capacitors swelled up after boiling the electrolyte, charred resistors in certain nodes of the circuit, as well as ring cracks in solders will help the master to guess the causes and possible consequences of the malfunction.
If the TOSHIBA 42VL863R does not turn on, no control lights on the front panel light up or blink, therefore, there is a very high probability of a malfunction of the PA3102-01TS-LF 787902 16010AJ9 REV0.3 power supply module. In some cases, only the processor power regulator may be faulty. When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, after replacing the swollen capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters (if any), you must first check the mains fuse. When it is broken, the power elements of transistors and rectifier bridge diodes should be checked for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
As a rule, the keys in switching power supplies (SMPS) are reliable enough and rarely fail for no reason to be looked for by checking other components of the circuit - electrolytic capacitors, resistors and semiconductor elements of the primary circuit. The PWM chip is verified by replacing it with a known good one.
If the TOSHIBA 42VL863R has no image, but there is sound and the TV is controlled by the remote control, a malfunction in the backlight circuits of the LC420EUD (SD) panel (F2) is likely. The LEDs or the power converter - LED driver may be faulty. Often in such cases, when you turn on the TV, an image appears and immediately disappears. First of all, it is necessary to verify the operability of the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter supplying the LED driver, and check the LEDs, connecting obviously known good diagnostics.
A malfunction in the backlight circuits often occurs due to an open in the power circuit of the LED lines. It requires disassembling the panel and checking the LEDs themselves, the rations of their terminals, as well as the reliability of the connections in the connectors and rations of the terminals.
To check the LED lines for breaks without disassembling the panel, for example, a current source will help. It is impossible to open series-connected PN junctions with a simple multimeter, a voltage of the order of several tens of volts is required.
On the motherboard PE0993 A V28A001298A1, NGS7306D, in case of a malfunction, you should first check the operation of all the stabilizers or power converters of the microcircuits and, if necessary, 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 - TMPM330FYFG, RTL8304, CXD2816, CXD2820R, SiI9381ACNUC, LN8H23, BD8621, 3564, CS48540CQZ, TAS5708, and replace the 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.
If the TV works normally from external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the SCEB3AH tuner 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).
Attention! For users and owners of 42VL863R TVs who do not have the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience, we strongly recommend against attempting self-repair in order to avoid negative consequences that could lead to complete non-repairability of the device.

PSU Advanced
On the 42VL863R TV, the PA3102-01TS-LF power module is installed using the PFC (Power Factor Correction) scheme acting as an active filter to eliminate the higher harmonic components of the current consumption. The boost converter based on the FAN7930 PWM controller does not allow the electrolytic capacitor of the input rectifier filter to be connected directly to the network directly through open diodes, when the value of the charge current determines its reactance (about 15-30 ohms at a frequency of 50 Hz). As a result of the conversion, the charging current of the capacitor will be determined in such a way that the envelope of the high-frequency pulses of the input current will repeat the phase and shape of the sine wave of the input voltage. The health check of the PFC unit is carried out by measuring the DC voltage on the capacitor of the rectifier network. In operating mode, it should be around 380V, in standby approximately 300V.
Key Features of the TOSHIBA 42VL863R:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) LC420EUD (SD) (F2).
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) 6870C-0358A.

The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the TOSHIBA 42VL863R TV are generated by the PA3102-01TS-LF power module or its analogs using A6069H (7), FAN7930 (PFC) microcircuits.
