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
SUPRA STV-LC32950WL, like other TVs, it is advisable to start repairing with a careful examination of the external and internal elements and modules. In some cases, visible external damage to elements can suggest directions for troubleshooting and localization of a defect even before the necessary measurements are taken at the control points of electronic circuits. Elements with visible damage, for example, capacitors swollen after electrolyte boiling, charred resistors in certain nodes of the circuit, as well as ring cracks in the solders, will help the master to guess the causes and possible consequences of the malfunction.
Sometimes the SUPRA STV-LC32950WL TV just won't turn on. No control lamps on the front panel are on or blinking, the TV does not respond to the remote control and does not emit any sounds or any signs of life when turned on. The most probable cause of the failure is the failure of the common power supply module Integrated. If it is working properly, you need to check the processor batteries on the SSB (Main Board). When diagnosing and repairing the power supply, first of all, replace the swollen capacitors of the secondary rectifier filter and check the fuse and, if it is broken, it is necessary to identify the cause. Often in such cases an avalanche (thermal) breakdown is detected in the power semiconductor elements of the module - rectifier diodes and transistors in the primary circuit.
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 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 backlight LEDs of the HV320WX2-201 panel). In such cases, the common power module is also subject to verification, in which the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filter supplying the LED driver should be checked.
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.
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.
Repair of the motherboard 35017068 REV-01 must begin with diagnostics and testing of all linear stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. Sometimes it may be necessary to update the software (software) - flashing FLASH or EEPROM.
In some cases, check or replace (if necessary) elements of the MB (SSB) board - CPU: MT8227AAKU (BMSL), SPI FLASH: W25Q32. In cases where a BGA processor is used, its malfunction is usually detected by the local warm-up method.
If you suspect a malfunction of the Integrated tuner, first of all, you need to make sure that there is a supply voltage of the varicaps (30-33V) at the corresponding output of the tuner, as well as other voltages supplying it.
Attention! Users and owners of STV-LC32950WL TVs who do not have the appropriate qualifications, knowledge and experience are strongly discouraged from trying to repair themselves in order to avoid negative consequences that can lead to the complete non-repairability of the device.

 In case of malfunctions in the SPI FLASH software produced by Winbond, we recommend changing the microcircuit itself to a new one. Sometimes Winbond microcircuits can recover for a while after high-temperature exposure, for example, warming up with a soldering station or a lighter, which is sometimes enough to read its contents.

Attention! The HV320WX2-201 panel of the SUPRA STV-LC32950WL LED TV is an expensive and unreliable element.
