General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible manifestations of defects
- TV HARPER 16R575 does not turn on and does not show any signs of operability at all. No response to the remote control and front panel control buttons.
With such manifestations, the adapter power supply usually fails.
External power supply Adapter 12V is not always subject to repair, especially since the owner can purchase it on his own. But, in some cases, it makes sense to open it and eliminate simple typical defects inherent in converters in pulse sources. It is necessary to measure its output supply voltages, and in case of their absence, check the serviceability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of breakdown in semiconductor PN junctions.
In case of any breakdown of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually operate normally in an emergency short circuit mode. There are no output voltages. And with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, as a rule, the mains fuse breaks and, less often, the current sensor in the source of the key.
Breakdown of power switches (MosFet) in switching sources is sometimes caused by malfunctions of other circuit elements, for example, in the circuits supplying the PWM controller, frequency setting or damper, as well as in the circuits of Negative Feedback (OOS) stabilization. PWM controllers (PWM), if they do not have visible damage to the case and an outright short circuit between the terminals, are usually checked by replacing.
- There is no picture, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control, the channels are switched. In some cases, the image appears when turned on and disappears immediately.
A malfunction is usually in these cases most likely in the backlight units of the display matrix. The reason for this may be an open circuit in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
It should be remembered that it is not possible to determine an open circuit in the LED lines without disassembling the panels using a tester or multimeter without an additional device, for example, a current source. To open all PN junctions connected in series at once, a voltage of several tens of volts may be required. Then you need to open the panel and check each LED separately with a multimeter. If the capabilities of your multimeter do not allow you to open the LED in the forward direction, or dual LEds are used, then the PN transition of the emergency zener diode can indirectly serve as an indicator of serviceability. In the event of a malfunction of the LED-a, the PN-transition of the zener diode will either be cut off or broken through in the SC.
- The indicator blinks or is on constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the HK.T.RDA8501C motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microcircuits and matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Complex repair of MB (SSB) is possible only in a service center with the necessary equipment. Checking or replacing SPI FLASH: 25Q32, AUDIO: YD1517 elements requires the necessary training and professional skills to repair modules at the component level. Problems associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can sometimes be diagnosed by the warm-up method.
If there is no reception of TV channels, but the TV is working properly from external devices, first of all, you need to check the supply voltage of the NoName tuner and update the software. I2C communication pulses must be monitored with an oscilloscope.
Remember! Attempts to self-repair the HARPER 16R575 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! HARPER 16R575 LED TV panel NT156WHM-N32 V8.0 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.
