General recommendations for TV LCD repair
It is advisable to start repairing a ROLSEN TV with a PLVM01 chassis with a careful external examination of both internal and external elements. It often happens that visible damage to elements or connections helps determine the direction of troubleshooting. If ring cracks are found in the soldering of the element terminals or broken connecting tracks, swollen capacitors or charred resistors - all this may be characteristic signs of the causes or consequences of an already known typical malfunction.
If the RL-20X31 TV does not turn on, does not emit any sounds when turned on, as well as no indicators on the front panel are lit or blinking, there is a high probability of a malfunction in the power module. In some cases, only the stabilizer or power converter of the control processor may be faulty, which is typical for some ROLSEN models. When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, after replacing the swollen capacitors of the secondary rectifier filters (if any), you must first check the mains fuse. If it breaks, the power elements of the transistors and diodes of the rectifier bridge should be checked for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
Mos-Fet switches used in switching power supplies (SMPS) rarely fail without reasons that must be looked for by checking other circuit elements. Breakdown is often caused by malfunctions of electrolytic capacitors or semiconductor elements in the primary circuit, or breakdown of resistors in stabilization circuits. The PWM controller microcircuit can also cause the breakdown of the power switch of the converter.
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 inverter (backlight power converter). In such cases, the lamps, the inverter and the common power supply module must be checked, in which the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter supplying the inverter must be checked. It should be remembered that when the protection is turned off in order to diagnose a malfunction, there is always a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter. After repair, it is imperative to restore all standard converter protection circuits.
Diagnostics and repair of the PLVM01 motherboard is carried out by checking the functionality of the stabilizers or power converters of the module chips. In some cases, a software update is required. Repair of the board and replacement of VCT49X3 A29040BL MTL015GF microcircuits are made if the necessary equipment and the corresponding element base are available. Failures associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can be localized by warming up.
Attention! Users and owners of RL-20X31 TVs who do not have the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience are strongly discouraged from attempting to repair themselves in order to avoid negative consequences that can lead to complete non-repairability of the device.
Additional MainBoard Repair

The main features of the ROLSEN RL-20X31 device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) LC201V02 (SD) (B1).
Matrix control uses Timing Controller (T-CON) LC201V02-SDA1.
To power the backlight lamps, an AT-6201LG12 (BIT) inverter is used, controlled by the FAN7311 / G52 / P2803NVG / ZEP17000 PWM controller.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the ROLSEN RL-20X31 TV are provided by a switching power supply.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a PLVM01 module, using CPU chips: VCT49X3R F2 208010.000, MLT015GF; DC / DEC: 2576-3.3, 8050SD, AS1117 / 1.8; 2.5; 3.3 /, EPROM - A29040BL, EEPROM - A51CS, A21CS; Sound - TDA7266 P15V330WE and others.
Tuner TECH2949PS40B provides reception of TV programs and tuning to channels.
