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 RB-26SL1U
RUBIN RB-26SL1U
General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Repair and diagnostics of any electronic device, in particular RUBIN RB-26SL1U, should be started with a careful external examination of the internal and external elements. Based on visible external changes in the state of components, it is usually possible to determine the further direction of troubleshooting and localization of a defect before taking the necessary measurements. In some cases, defective elements can be seen with the naked eye, for example, charred resistors or swollen sintered capacitors, or electrolytic ones in rectifier filters. The formed ring cracks in the soldering of the terminals of transformers or heating circuit elements are also frequent sources of many malfunctions with a variety of external manifestations.
In the absence of any signs of operability, when the RUBIN RB-26SL1U does not turn on and does not signal anything with the control lamps on the panel, there is a possibility that the power supply module K-150S1 465-01A2-L6501G of the TV may malfunction. With the same manifestations, the power regulator of the control processor on the motherboard may be faulty. When repairing a power supply, it is advisable to start diagnostics with checking the mains fuse and electrolytic capacitors of the filters of the secondary rectifiers of the converter. In the event of a break in the fuse, the cause should be sought in the power semiconductor elements of the pulse converter of the main power supply unit. First of all, it is necessary to check the diodes of the rectifier bridge of the mains voltage and the power switch (s) of the converter.
It should be remembered that in the practice of repair, usually power switches in switching power supplies (SMPS) do not fail due to their poor quality and, in such cases, it is necessary to look for the reason that led to a malfunction and provoked a breakdown of the key. Most often, the culprits of the accident are dry electrolytic capacitors or broken resistors in the primary circuit, or the PWM controller microcircuit itself may be faulty. It is also necessary to check all the semiconductor elements of the stabilization circuit in the primary and secondary circuits.
If, when you turn on RUBIN RB-26SL1U, there is no image, or it appears for a second and disappears, but there is sound, most likely there is a malfunction in the LED circuit of the LC260EXN (SD) (A3) LED panel backlight, or in their power converter. It is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the filter of the secondary rectifiers in the common power supply.
It is often necessary to disassemble the panel to check the health of the LEDs, as well as the contact connections in the connectors and solders.
To identify an open circuit in the LED lines without disassembling the panel, a current source is required. It is impossible to open the junctions connected in series with a simple multimeter; a voltage of several tens of volts is required.
Repair of the MST6M48 / 6M182 T7 471-01A3-64701G motherboard must begin with diagnosing and checking all linear stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. Sometimes it may be necessary to update the software (software) - flashing FLASH or EEPROM.
When repairing an MB board, it is necessary to check its PAM8610 components. Defective elements should be replaced. If BGA chips are installed, their failure is usually localized by warming up.
Before changing the CDT-3FP2I2-31 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 users! Independent repair of the RUBIN RB-26SL1U TV without proper qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!
