General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible manifestations of malfunctions
- The GOLDSTAR LT-26A310R does not turn on, the indicators on the front panel do not light or flash. The TV does not respond to control buttons and the remote control.
Usually with such manifestations, the defect is caused by faulty elements in the main power supply module Adapter.
External power supply Adapter 12V is not always subject to repair, especially since the owner can purchase it on his own. But, in some cases, it makes sense to open it and eliminate simple typical defects inherent in converters in pulse sources. Its output voltages should be measured and, in their absence, the serviceability of the power switches and rectifier diodes in the converters should be checked for possible breakdown.
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 is often cut off.
Breakdown of Mos-Fet switches used in switching power supplies is often caused by malfunctions of other elements, for example, in the power supply circuit of the PWM regulator, in frequency setting or damper circuits, as well as in negative feedback stabilization. PWM microcircuits (PWM) are usually checked by replacing them with new ones, or knowingly working.
- There is no picture, but there is sound and reaction to commands from the remote control. Or the image appears immediately after switching on and disappears.
The malfunction in most of such cases is found in the nodes and elements of the LED panel backlight. The reason may be both in the power supply of the LEDs, in their serviceability (breakdown or breakage), as well as in the violation of the contact connections of the LED strips.
To test the LED strips, in order to open all the transitions of the LEDs, several tens of volts or more are needed; it is best to use a current source for such purposes. The breakage of several PN junctions connected in series cannot be detected with a multimeter or tester. In such cases, it is necessary to open the panel and check each LED. If your multimeter cannot open the LED junctions in forward bias, you can sometimes detect the presence of a protective zener diode PN junction by connecting the probes in the opposite direction. If the zener diode is cut off or broken in the K / Z, then the LED is faulty and requires replacement.
- The indicator blinks or is on constantly, the TV does not turn on, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the 40-MS8200-MAC2XG 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). If it is not possible to replace the MB (SSB) board, you must check the serviceability of its elements - MST6E182VS-LF-Z1, 25Q32BV. Defective components must be replaced.
If there is no tuning for terrestrial or cable TV channels, you should make sure that the software is correct, as well as that the supply voltages on the TDQ-3CB tuner outputs are in accordance with the ratings. It is also necessary to check with an oscilloscope the presence of pulses of data exchange between the tuner and the processor via the I2C bus.
Attention! Users and owners of LT-26A310R 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 may lead to complete non-repairability of the device.
