General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible manifestations of defects
- The TOSHIBA 46TL938 TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, indicators do not light up and do not blink.
With similar manifestations, in some cases, the N150A002L power module is faulty. In the absence of the necessary supply voltages in the secondary circuits of the converters, it is necessary to check the power switches (K12A50D) and rectifier diodes for a possible partial or complete breakdown.
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.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in pulsed sources is sometimes caused by malfunctions of other circuit elements, for example, in circuits supplying a PWM controller, frequency-setting or damper ones, as well as in negative feedback (OOS) stabilization circuits. PWM controllers (PWM) A6069, FAN6961 (PFC), L6577B, if they do not have visible damage to the case and open fault between the terminals, are usually checked by replacement.
- There is no image, but there is sound and reaction to the remote control. Or for a second, the image may appear immediately after switching on.
Usually in such cases, a malfunction is detected in the backlight nodes of the LED panel. The reason for this may be a break in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
When diagnosing, it is necessary to take into account that it is impossible to check the open in the chain of LED lines without disassembling the panels using a tester or multimeter. To open all PN junctions connected in series, a voltage of the order of several tens of volts is required, and ideally, a current source. By opening the panel, each LED can be checked separately. Typically, Chinese multimeters light up a single 3-volt LED, if you connect probes in the forward direction to it. 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 TV does not enter the operating mode, does not respond to the remote control. The indicator on the front panel lights constantly or blinks.
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). When repairing an MB board, you need to check its components MSD8881, K4B2G1646E, K4B1G1446G, TAS5708. Defective items should be replaced. If chips with BGA soldering technology are used, a problem in its implementation is detected by the local heating of the chip.
Before replacing the TDSS-G224D tuner, if there is no tuning for the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its terminals. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus
Attention TV owners! Attempts at self-repair of TOSHIBA 46TL938 are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

Attention! The LTA460HW04 panel of the TOSHIBA 46TL938 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
