In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
An external examination of the external and internal elements should be carried out in a timely manner before the start of dismantling operations. Specific external damage to some elements can sometimes indicate further actions to determine the malfunction of the TV and localize 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 soldering will help the master to guess the causes and possible consequences of the malfunction.
In cases where the SUPRA STV-LC1637WL TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and buttons, any indicators on the front panel do not light up or blink, and there are no sounds and no signs of operability when turning on, the power module is most likely faulty or there is no power processor on the motherboard (a typical defect of some models of TVs SUPRA). First of all, it is necessary to replace the swollen capacitors of the rectifier filters, if any. If the mains fuse is broken in the power supply, in most cases a breakdown of the power key (s) is detected, which can be integrated with the PWM controller, or a separate field-effect transistor can be used. The rectifier bridge diodes and the electrolytic capacitor of the mains rectifier filter should also be checked.
Power switches in switching power supplies (SMPS) fail extremely rarely for no reason and, if they are broken, it is necessary to look for a malfunction in the stabilization circuits by checking electrolytic capacitors, semiconductor devices, and resistors in the primary circuit. The reason may be a malfunction of the PWM controller chip, which can only be checked by replacing it with a new or obviously working one.
In cases where the SUPRA STV-LC1637WL TV has lost its image, and the sound is there and all other functions are functional, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the LED driver (converter for powering the backlight LEDs of the AU Optronics B156HW02 V.5 panel). When you turn on the TV, the image may appear briefly and disappear immediately. It must be borne in mind that with such manifestations the LEDs themselves also fail.
Often there is a need for disassembling the panel to check the health of the LEDs, as well as contact connections in the connectors and soldering.
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.
In cases of attempts to repair the CV182L-A motherboard, it is necessary to check the operability of the stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits and, if possible, update the software (software). BGA chips can in most cases be diagnosed by local heating.
In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the health of its elements - Flash Winbond 25Q32BVSIG which may require replacement with new ones. If the BGA processor is installed, there is a possibility of a violation of the soldering of the contacts of its conclusions with the board (it is diagnosed by heating).
In cases where there is no tuning to local television channels, make sure that there are supply voltages at the terminals of the tuner CDT-3SP5I2-37.
Attention to users! Self-repair of a TV SUPRA STV-LC1637WL without the appropriate qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

Attention! The B156HW02 V.5 panel of a SUPRA STV-LC1637WL 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.
