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-LC1944WL
General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
SUPRA STV-LC1944WL TV, like many other electronic devices, it is advisable to start repairing by inspecting all external and internal elements. Specific external damage to some elements can sometimes indicate further actions to determine the malfunction of the TV and localize the defect before starting the necessary measurements. If charred resistors, swollen electrolytic or cermet capacitors, ring cracks in the soldered terminals of transformers or heating elements are detected, it is advisable to establish the causes and consequences of the malfunction that has arisen, as well as to check the connected elements and assemblies.
If the power supply module malfunctions, external manifestations may be different, for example, the SUPRA STV-LC1944WL 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. 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. You should also check the diodes of the rectifier bridge and the electrolytic capacitor of the mains rectifier filter.

As a rule, the keys in switching power supplies (SMPS) are reliable enough and rarely fail for no reason to be looked for by checking other components of the circuit - electrolytic capacitors, resistors and semiconductor elements of the primary circuit. The PWM chip is checked by replacing it with a known good one.
Sometimes the SUPRA STV-LC1944WL TV does not have an image, but there is sound, or the image appears and immediately disappears. In this case, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the V185B1-LE1 Rev. C1 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 of lack of backlight, there is a need 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.
It is impossible to check the LED bars for a break 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 will be required, and ideally a current source.
When trying to repair the motherboard, you should first check the serviceability of linear stabilizers or power converters of microcircuits and, if necessary, update the software (software).
When repairing an MB board, you need to check its CPU components: MST6E181VS-LF-Z1, FLASH: MX25L3205D (U11). Defective elements must be replaced. If BGA chips are installed, their failure is usually localized by warming up.
If there is no reception of television channels, but the TV is working properly from external devices, first of all it is necessary to check the voltage of the varicaps of the tuner CDT-3SP5I2-36, which is usually within 30-33V, as well as other supply voltages at the terminals of the tuner.
Remember! Attempts to self-repair the SUPRA STV-LC1944WL TV by users without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!
