General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible malfunctions
- HARPER 43F660T TV does not turn on. There are no signs of operability. The indicators on the front panel do not light up or blink, the TV does not respond to the control buttons.
In such cases, the AC / DC converter of the mains voltage, which is combined with the main board TP.MS3663S.PB801, is often faulty. It is necessary to measure its secondary output voltages, and if they are absent, check the power switches (TO-252) and rectifier diodes in the converters for a short circuit.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter, as a rule, can operate in an emergency in the short-circuit mode, and in the event of a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse is usually cut 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.
- There is no picture, but there is sound and reaction to commands from the remote control. Or the image appears immediately after switching on and disappears.
The malfunction in most of these cases is found in the nodes and elements of the LED panel backlighting. Most often the reason for this is a break in the LEDs, or poor contact in the connectors of the brackets, less often the LED driver may be faulty.
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. You can open the panel and check each LED separately. Usually, Chinese multimeters lightly light up one 3-volt LED if you connect the probes to it in the forward direction (red probe to the anode, black to the cathode). For dual 6-volt LEDs, the PN junction of its emergency zener diode can serve as an indicator of LED health. In the event of a malfunction of the LED, its zener diode will either be cut off or broken into the K / Z.
- 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). Often the MB (SSB) board needs to be replaced in case of complex malfunctions that are difficult to detect. When trying to repair it, you should check its elements - SPI Flash: MX25L6405 and replace the failed chips with new ones. Some malfunctions may be associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies in modern Main Board. Typically, such defects are detected by local heating of the chip.
Before changing the CDT-9NT372-RF01 & SAT tuner, if it is not possible to tune to TV channels, you should make sure that there are supply voltages, which must be measured at the corresponding tuner pins and check the software for correctness. The pulses of the data exchange of the tuner with the processor can be monitored with an oscilloscope
Once again, we remind TV users: do not attempt to repair yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Trust the repair to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of electronic repair.




The appearance of MainBoard TP.MS3663S.PB801 is shown in the figure below:
TP.MS3663S.PB801
The main features of the HARPER 43F660T device:
Installed matrix (LED panel) YTK1661 GG17-0197MZ.
Matrix control uses the 6870C-0532A Timing Controller (T-CON).
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter combined with the TP.MS3663S.PB801 main board is used, controlled by an 8 pin PWM controller. TO-252 switches are used as power elements of the LED driver.
The power module is combined with the MainBoard and is made according to the AC / DC flyback voltage converter using SOT23-6 PWM microcircuits and TO-252 power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a TP.MS3663S.PB801 module, using SPI Flash chips: MX25L6405 and others.
The CDT-9NT372-RF01 & SAT tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.

Attention! Panel YTK1661 GG17-0197MZ LED TV HARPER 43F660TS 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.
