General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
SUPRA STV-LC16510WL, like other televisions, it is advisable to start repairing with a careful examination of the external and internal elements and modules. Often, based on certain external signs, it may be possible to draw certain conclusions about the reasons for the failure of certain circuit elements even before the necessary measurements are made, which will determine the further algorithm for troubleshooting and localizing the defect. Ring cracks in the soldering of the leads of the heating elements, swollen electrolytic capacitors, a charred paint layer on the resistors - all this for the repairman can be a significant clue in the assumptions about the causes and consequences of the malfunction.
If the TV does not turn on, no indicators on its front panel are lit or blinking. Also, if the TV does not respond to the remote control and buttons, does not make any sounds or any signs of operability when turned on, there is a certain probability that the power module is defective and needs repair. Sometimes with similar manifestations a problem can only occur in the absence of processor power, which is typical for certain SUPRA models. When repairing the power supply, it is advisable to start the diagnostics by checking the mains fuse and the electrolytic capacitors of the filters of the converter secondary rectifiers. In the event of a fuse breaking, the reason should be sought in the power semiconductor elements of the pulse converter of the main power supply. First of all, it is necessary to check the diodes of the bridge of the rectifier of the mains voltage and the power switch (s) of the converter.
In most cases, key breakdowns in switching power supplies (SMPS) do not occur for no reason and you should look for other faulty circuit elements that could provoke a defect. This can be dried electrolytic capacitors in the primary circuit, and faulty damper elements, as well as dangling resistors or punched semiconductor elements in the stabilization circuits. Possible defective PWM chip from the manufacturer.
In cases where the SUPRA STV-LC16510WL TV has lost its image, and the sound is there and all other functions are operational, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the LED driver (converter for powering the backlight LEDs of the panel 720p HD, 1366x768). 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.
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 is required, and ideally, a current source.
If the motherboard T.VST29.03 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.
In cases of attempts to repair the MB (SSB) board, it is necessary to check the health of its elements - SPI Flash 25Q32 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).

Attention to users! Self-repair of a TV SUPRA STV-LC16510WL without the appropriate qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!

LED TV SUPRA STV-LC16510WL with LCD LP156WH4, diagonal size 15.6 "(40 cm) 16: 9 format. The required brightness of the screen 200 cd / m² is provided by LED backlight LED. Dynamic contrast ratio of 40,000: 1 is achieved by special control of the LEDs depending on the illuminated areas in the plot. The model’s display technology uses LED LED backlighting. You can watch broadcasts and movies and images in high quality HD at a resolution of 1366x768 pixels in the standard for graphic decomposition 720p (HD Ready). The input high-frequency or video signal is decoded in analog PAL, SECAM, NTSC systems. Graphic processing and digital signal generation occurs in the standards 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i. Supported media file formats: MP3, MPEG4, MKV, JPEG.

The power of the sound system 4 W (2 x 2 W) provide two speakers. The audio processing system NICAM STEREO is used.
The external interface (communication with other devices) is supported by standard input and output connectors: antenna input (RF), AV, audio x2, VGA, HDMI, USB. An output for connecting headphones is provided. To connect a computer or laptop to this TV model, a VGA (D-Sub 15) connector is used on the TV case, this interface supports resolutions: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1360x768.

Attention! The panel of the LP156WH4 SUPRA STV-LC16510WL 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.
