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!

SUPRA STV-LC1925WL
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Repair of the SUPRA STV-LC1925WL TV should begin with a fault diagnosis, which involves a careful inspection of the external and internal elements of the device. According to some external signs of a change in the state of some elements, it is sometimes possible to make assumptions about the nature of the defect, as well as determine the further direction of the troubleshooting. Swollen electrolytic or cermet capacitors, charred resistors, ring cracks in the soldered terminals of the elements - all this can significantly help the master to determine the causes and consequences of the malfunction of the TV.
If the HTX-P240202 power supply module fails, the external manifestations may be different, for example, SUPRA STV-LC1925WL does not turn on at all and there is no indication of the indicator lights on the front panel. With the same symptoms, the stabilizer (converter) of the power supply to the control processor may be faulty. When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, after replacing the swollen capacitors of the filters of the secondary rectifiers (if any), you must first check the mains fuse. When it is broken, the power elements of the transistors and diodes of the rectifier bridge should be checked for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
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.
If the SUPRA STV-LC1925WL TV does not have an image, but there is sound, a malfunction in the LED backlight circuits is likely. It is also necessary to check the serviceability of the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers of the BP (power supply) for an overstated ESR.
To check the health of the LEDs, as well as contact connections in the ruler circuit, it is necessary to disassemble the panel.
It is impossible to detect a break in the line of LEDs without disassembling the panel with a simple multimeter. LEDs are connected in series and to open their transitions, a voltage of several tens of volts is required. Ideally, a current source is suitable for such purposes.
Repair of the CV182L-B motherboard must begin with the diagnosis and verification of all linear stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. Sometimes it may be necessary to update the software (software) - flashing FLASH or EEPROM.
If it is not possible to replace the MB board (SSB), you must check the health of its elements - W25G32BV, YD1517P. Defective components should be replaced.
The malfunction of the CDT-3SP512-37 tuner is established after checking the software and all the supply voltages at its terminals, including the varicap supply voltage (30-33V).
We recommend the owners of the STV-LC1925WL TV for repair only to qualified specialists with experience! Self-repair attempts without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to serious negative consequences!

To reduce the backlight current in LED drivers with a PWM controller MP3389EF (MP3389), or its analogue OB3362VP (28 pin), it is necessary to proportionally increase the total resistance of the resistors from pin 9 (ISET) to the chassis. The maximum current in each of the 12 channels (in milliamps) for the resistance Rset (in kilo-ohms) is determined from the ratio 1000 * 1.22V / Rset. With a parallel connection of channels, the currents are added up.
Repair MainBoard
The appearance of the MainBoard CV182L-B is shown in the figure below:
The CV182L-B motherboard uses the MST6M182VG processor, combined with a scaler and installed using the BGA technology.
It is advisable to start this type of MainBoard repair by checking the voltage converters and linear stabilizers necessary to provide power to the processor nodes: 1.2V, 2.5V, 3.3V. Check the power of the 5V or 12V LCD panel, depending on the type of panel used, it is advisable directly on the LVDS connector. If, in the presence of the necessary supply voltage, the TV does not exit Stand-by mode, does not respond to the remote control and control buttons, the SPI Flash software should be updated.
CV182L-B can be used in TVs:
FUSION FLTV-22T9 (Panel TB215WU3), SUPRA STV-LC1925WL (Panel MT185GW01 V.1), SUPRA STV-LC19810WL (Panel TB190B300-A), SUPRA STV-LC1625WLD (Panel B156HW02), SUPRA STV-LC1937WL (Panel LM185WH2-TLA1).
Key Features of SUPRA STV-LC1925WL:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) MT185GW01 V.1 or CV182L-B or M216H1-L01.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) MT185GW01V1.
The LED driver HTX-LP261202 is used to power the backlight LEDs, it is controlled by the MP3389EF PWM controller.
To power all the internal nodes of the SUPRA STV-LC1925WL TV, an external adapter type 12V 5A is used.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a CV182L-B module, using TSUMV26KU-LF, F40-100GCP, PWA1517P, 25f40 and other microcircuits.
The tuner CDT-3SP512-37 provides the reception of television programs and tuning to channels.

Attention! The MT185GW01 V.1 panel of a SUPRA STV-LC1925WL 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.
