General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible malfunctions
- ROLSEN RL-42A700F3D TV does not turn on at all. No response to the remote control and front panel control buttons. Indicator lamps do not light up or flash.
Most often, with similar manifestations, the main power module MIP988A-K2 is faulty. It is necessary to make sure that its output voltages are present and, if they are completely absent, check the power switches (STF13N50Z) and rectifier diodes for a possible short circuit.
In case of any breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in an emergency mode of a short circuit, and with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse or the current sensor at the source of the key often breaks off.
The 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 regulators (PWM) NCP1653A, LD7535, SG3525A, 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 image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or the image may appear for a second when turned on and immediately disappear.
These manifestations can be triggered by the power module, or by defects in the inverter, as well as by skewed currents in the lamps due to their uneven wear. If all the electrolytic capacitors of the filter for the power supply of the inverter are in good working order, you should make sure that the lamps are in good condition, then you need to check the converter keys and the secondary windings of the transformers.
If, when diagnosing a malfunction, it is required to turn off the inverter protection, there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter, and special care is required during work, and after they are completed, it is imperative to restore the protection circuits for further safe operation of the TV by the owner in normal mode.
- The TV does not turn on, the indicator signals the standby or operating mode, or blinks.
Repair or diagnostics of the 471-01A6-64201G motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters required 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 CPU elements: MST6M48RHS-LF-Z1, SPI FLASH: 25Q32-104 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 the TV operates normally from external devices, but does not tune into TV channels, the CDT-3FP212-31 tuner may be defective. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus. Sometimes the reason for the inoperability of the tuner may be a software failure.
Owners of the RL-42A700F3D TV are advised to contact only qualified specialists with the necessary experience for repair! Attempts to repair yourself without the appropriate knowledge and skills can lead to irreversible negative consequences!

The main features of the ROLSEN RL-42A700F3D device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) LC420WUE-SDP1.
Matrix control uses a Timing Controller (T-CON) 6870C-0310C.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the ROLSEN RL-42A700F3D TV is carried out by the MIP988A-K2 power supply module, or its analogs using NCP1653A, LD7535, SG3525A microcircuits and STF13N50Z power switches.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a 471-01A6-64201G module, using CPU chips: MST6M48RHS-LF-Z1, SPI FLASH: 25Q32-104, DRAM: W971GG6JB-25 and others.
The CDT-3FP212-31 tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
