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!

General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Repair of electronic equipment usually begins with its external examination and diagnosis of a malfunction. In this case, you should inspect all the internal components of the RUBIN RB-19S2U TV, as well as the external elements of the case. According to some external signs of a change in the state of some elements, it sometimes becomes possible to make assumptions about the nature of the defect, as well as to determine the further direction of troubleshooting. If charred resistors, swollen electrolytic or sintered capacitors, ring cracks in the soldering of the terminals of transformers or heating elements are found, it is advisable to establish the causes and consequences of the malfunction, as well as to check the connected elements and assemblies.
In the absence of any signs of operability, when the RUBIN RB-19S2U does not turn on and does not signal anything with the control lamps on the panel, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the AC / DC 12V, 3A power supply module of the TV. The power supply regulator of the control processor on the motherboard may also be faulty with the same manifestations. First of all, it is necessary to replace the swollen capacitors of the rectifier filters, if any. If the mains fuse in the power supply is broken, in most cases a breakdown of the power switch (s) is detected, which can be integrated with the PWM controller, or a separate field-effect transistor can be used. You should also check the diodes of the rectifier bridge and the electrolytic capacitor of the mains rectifier filter.
The reasons for the breakdown of the power switch in switching power supplies (SMPS) can be different, for example, a malfunction of semiconductor elements or electrolytic capacitors in the stabilization circuits of the primary circuit, as well as a failure in the operation of a PWM regulator microcircuit or breaks of resistors in its strapping.
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 LED driver (power converter for the panel backlight LEDs V185B1-PE1 A01 REV 1.0 // MKN185M112A2200114). In such cases, the general power module is also subject to verification, in which the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter supplying the LED driver should be checked.
A malfunction in the backlight circuits often occurs due to an open circuit in the power supply circuit of the LED lines. It is required to disassemble the panel and check the LEDs themselves, the ration of their outputs, as well as the reliability of the connections in the connectors and the ration of the connector pins.
An open circuit in the lines of LEDs connected in series cannot be detected with a multimeter or tester without disassembling the panel. It takes several tens of volts to open all the junctions, and it is best to use a current source for such purposes.
When trying to repair the motherboard, you should first check the serviceability of linear stabilizers or microcircuit power converters and, if necessary, update the software (software).
In some cases, to repair the MB (SSB) board, it may be necessary to replace the chips - 1517P, JWT24.000, LD111733, LD1117A, 25Q32FV, AIC2565 GG2U with new or known good ones. In cases where BGA technologies are used, defects are usually localized by heating.
Before changing the CDT-3SP512-36 tuner, if it is not possible to tune to TV channels, you should make sure that there are supply voltages, including the power supply for varicaps (30-33V), which must be measured at the corresponding terminals of the tuner.
Attention to the owners! Attempts to repair the RUBIN RB-19S2U TV yourself are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

 In case of malfunctions in the software of SPI FLASH microcircuits manufactured by Winbond, they can recover for some time after temperature exposure - warming up a soldering station with a hairdryer or even a lighter. This is usually enough to read the standard software content. In such cases, the microcircuit must be replaced with a new one.
