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!

STV-LC1937WL Specifications
SUPRA STV-LC1937WL
General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
It is advisable to carry out external examination of external and internal elements in a timely manner before the start of operations for their dismantling. In some cases, visible external damage to elements can suggest directions for troubleshooting and localization of a defect even before the necessary measurements are taken at the control points of electronic circuits. Experienced repairers often guess about the causes of the defect and the possible consequences, for example, by ring cracks in the soldering of the element terminals, as well as by swollen capacitors or resistors burned out to coal dust and other external indirect signs.
If the power supply module malfunctions, external manifestations may be different, for example, the SUPRA STV-LC1937WL does not turn on at all and there is no indication of the indicator lights on the front panel. With the same symptoms, the regulator (converter) of the control processor power supply may be faulty. When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, first of all, replace the swollen capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers and check the fuse and, if it is broken, it is necessary to identify the cause. Often in such cases, an avalanche (thermal) breakdown is detected in the power semiconductor elements of the module — rectifier diodes and transistors in the primary circuit.
The reasons for the breakdown of the power switch in switching power supplies (SMPS) can be different, for example, a malfunction of semiconductor elements or electrolytic capacitors in the stabilization circuits of the primary circuit, as well as a failure in the operation of a PWM controller microcircuit or breaks in resistors in its strapping.
Sometimes the SUPRA STV-LC1937WL TV has no picture, but there is sound, or the picture appears and disappears immediately. In this case, there is a high probability of malfunction of the LM185WH2-TLA1 panel backlight LED converter, or an open circuit in the LED circuit is possible. In such cases, first of all, it is necessary to make sure that all electrolytic capacitors of the filter are in good working order for the power supply of the LED driver itself, including the power supply unit (power supply unit).
In most cases when there is no backlight, it becomes necessary to disassemble the panel in order to check the LEDs, connectors, loops and all contact connections. If one or several LEDs does not work in one line, therefore, they are broken and should be replaced.
When diagnosing, it must be borne in mind that it is impossible to check for an open in the circuit of the 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.
If the CV182L-B motherboard 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 it is possible to check the health of the MB only by replacing it.
In some cases, to repair the MB (SSB) board, it may be necessary to replace the chips - CPU - MST6E182VG-LF-Z1, Flash - W25Q32BVS with new or obviously good ones. In cases where BGA technologies are used, defects are usually localized by the heating method.
If you suspect a malfunction of the tuner CDT3SP512-37, first of all, you need to make sure that there is a supply voltage on the corresponding output of the tuner.
It should be remembered! Attempts to repair the SUPRA STV-LC1937WL TV, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!

Attention! The LM185WH2-TLA1 panel of a SUPRA STV-LC1937WL 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.
