REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

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!

Specifications 43F575T
HARPER 43F575T
General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible manifestations of defects
- TV HARPER 43F575T does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, does not light or blink indicators.
A malfunction in such cases should be looked for in the elements of the power source - the mains voltage converter (AC / DC), which is located on the MainBoard TP.MS3663S.PB801. Its output voltages should be measured, and in their absence, check the serviceability of the power switches (TO-220) of the converters and rectifier diodes for the probability of a short circuit.
In the event of diode breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in an emergency mode of short circuit without output voltages, and in the event of a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse and / or current sensor in the source of the key usually breaks off.
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) PWM SOT23-6, if they have no visible damage to the case and an open short circuit between the pins, are usually checked by replacing.
- No picture, sound, all other TV functions work. When turned on, the image may sometimes appear for a second.
As a rule, in such cases there is no display backlight. Often the cause of a malfunction is the lack of current in the LED circuit, for example, their open or short circuit, or a violation of the contact connections of the connectors.
To check the LED strips for breakage without disassembling the panel, for example, a current source will help. It is impossible to open series-connected PN junctions with a simple multimeter; a voltage of the order of several tens of volts is required.
- 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 TP.MS3663S.PB801 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). Repair of the board and replacement of SPI Flash: MX25L6405 microcircuits are made if the necessary equipment and the corresponding element base are available. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can be localized by warming up.
The malfunction of the CDT-9NT372-RF01 & SAT tuner is established after checking the software and all supply voltages at its terminals. The I2C bus data exchange between the tuner and the processor can be monitored with an oscilloscope.
Users and owners of TVs should remember that attempts to self-repair the HARPER 43F575T TV without the appropriate qualifications and the necessary experience can lead to serious negative consequences!

Attention! Panel PT430CT01-1 HK430WLEDM-JH08H LED TV HARPER 43F575T 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.
