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!

General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Repair of TVs, like other devices, it is advisable to start with an external examination. Often, based on external signs and the nature of damage to elements, it becomes possible to draw some conclusions and determine a further algorithm for searching for a defect before taking the necessary measurements at control points. Ring cracks in the soldering of the leads of the heating elements, swollen electrolytic capacitors, a charred layer of paint on the resistors - all this for the repairman can be a significant clue in assumptions about the causes and consequences of a malfunction.
If the TV does not turn on, none of the indicators on its front panel are on or blinking. Also, if the TV does not respond to the remote control and buttons, does not emit any sounds or any signs of operability when turned on, there is a certain probability that the power module is faulty and needs repair. Sometimes a problem with similar manifestations can occur only in the absence of processor power, which is typical for certain SUPRA models. When repairing a power supply, it is advisable to start diagnostics with checking the mains fuse and electrolytic capacitors of the filters of the secondary rectifiers of the converter. In the event of a break in the fuse, the cause should be sought in the power semiconductor elements of the pulse converter of the main power supply unit. It is necessary first of all to check the diodes of the rectifier bridge of the mains voltage and the power switch (s) of the converter.
It should be borne in mind that in the practice of repair, it is extremely rare for key transistors in switching power supplies (SMPS) to fail without reasons that should be looked for by checking other components, for example, a key breakdown can provoke faulty elements of damper circuits, or dried electrolytic capacitors or broken primary resistors power supply circuits involved in the stabilization process. In this case, all semiconductor elements of the strapping of the PWM regulator microcircuit are subject to verification, which it is desirable to check by replacement.
Sometimes the SUPRA STV-LC32T400WL TV does not have a picture, but there is sound, or the picture appears and immediately disappears. In this case, there is a high probability of a malfunction of the HV320WX2-206 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).
Often, in the absence of backlighting, disassembly of the panel is required. It is necessary to check the serviceability of the LED transitions, as well as the reliability of the contact connections in the lines and connectors.
It is impossible to detect a break in the LED line without disassembling the panel with a simple multimeter. The LEDs are connected in series and a voltage of several tens of volts is required to open their junctions. Ideally, a current source is suitable for such purposes.
The motherboard HK-T.SP9202P53 should be checked if there is no reaction to the remote control and function buttons, the standby indicator blinks or is on continuously. In such cases, if the converters or power regulators of the microcircuits are working, it may be necessary to update the software.
In cases of complex MB (SSB) repairs and with the necessary skills and equipment, it may sometimes be necessary to replace its Flash 25Q32 chips and other possible faulty components. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies are usually easily diagnosed by the warm-up method.
Remember! Attempts to self-repair the SUPRA STV-LC32T400WL TV by users without appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!

Attention! The HV320WX2-206 panel of the SUPRA STV-LC32T400WL LED TV is an expensive and unreliable element.
Do not allow any impacts on the glass and pressure on the screen surface to avoid damage to the LED panel!
It is also unsafe for liquid to spill onto the screen. Sometimes one drop is enough if it drips down the glass onto the cables to make the TV non-repairable.
