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-LC32T500WL
General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Repair of the SUPRA STV-LC32T500WL TV should begin with a fault diagnosis, which involves a careful examination of the external and internal elements of the device. According to some external signs of a change in the state of some elements, sometimes it becomes possible to make assumptions about the nature of the defect, as well as to determine the further direction of troubleshooting. 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 burnt out to coal dust and other external indirect signs.
In the case when the STV-LC32T500WL does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and front panel buttons, does not blink lights and does not show any signs of operability, the power module is probably faulty in this case. If it is working properly with such manifestations, it is necessary to check the processor power regulator (converter) on the motherboard. Diagnostics and repair of the common power supply should always begin with checking the mains fuse and the state of the electrolytic capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters. Defective and swollen capacitors should be replaced with new ones. If the fuse breaks, it is advisable to check for breakdown, first of all, all the power semiconductor elements of the converter and the diode bridge of the mains rectifier, as well as the large electrolytic capacitor of the mains rectifier filter.
Power switches in switching power supplies (SMPS) fail for no reason very rarely and, in case of their breakdown, it is necessary to look for a malfunction in the stabilization circuits, checking electrolytic capacitors, semiconductor devices and resistors in the primary circuit. The reason may be a malfunction of the PWM regulator microcircuit, which can only be checked by replacing it with a new or known good one.
If, when turning on the TV, the image appears and immediately disappears, or is absent initially when turned on, but there is sound and other functions work, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the LED driver (the power converter for the LED backlight of the LC320TU3A panel). In such cases, the common power module is also subject to verification, in which the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter supplying the LED driver should be checked.
A malfunction in the backlight circuits often occurs due to an open circuit in the power supply circuit of the LED lines. It is required to disassemble the panel and check the LEDs themselves, the ration of their outputs, as well as the reliability of the connections in the connectors and the ration of the connector pins.
To identify an open circuit in the LED lines without disassembling the panel, a current source is required. It is impossible to open the junctions connected in series with a simple multimeter; a voltage of several tens of volts is required.
Repair or diagnostics of the TP.SIS231.PT71 motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. If necessary, you should update the software (software).
In some cases, to repair the MB (SSB) board, it may be necessary to replace the Flash 25Q64 chips with new or known good ones. In cases where BGA technologies are used, defects are usually localized by heating.
Attention to the owners! Attempts to repair the SUPRA STV-LC32T500WL TV yourself are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!
