General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Possible malfunctions
- The TOSHIBA 55VL963R 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.
With such manifestations, the PA-3201-02TS-LF power module usually fails. It is necessary to measure its output supply voltage, and in case of their absence, check the serviceability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of breakdown in semiconductor PN junctions.
In case of any breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in emergency short circuit mode, and during short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse or the current sensor at the source of the key more often breaks.
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) A6069H (STB), FAN7930 (PFC), if they do not have visible damage to the case and open short circuit between the terminals, are usually checked by replacement.
- There is no image, but there is sound and reaction to commands from the remote control. Or the image appears immediately after turning on and disappears.
As a rule, in such cases there is no display backlight. 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.
When trying to detect a break in the LED lines, it should be taken into account that it is difficult to do this without disassembling the panel. For example, a current source is needed to open PN junctions connected in series.
- The indicator blinks or lights constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the V28A001417A1 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 MSD388USV-VXY, MSB1231-LF, 24C08, MX25L16, 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 tuner ENGS7305D5F, SCEB3V is suspected of a 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 on the corresponding tuner pins.
We recommend the owners of the 55VL963R TV for repair only to qualified specialists with the necessary work experience! Self-repair attempts without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!
