REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

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
Possible malfunctions
- LG 55UM7300 TV does not turn on. There are no signs of operability. The indicators on the front panel do not light or blink, the TV does not respond to the control buttons.
In some of these cases, a malfunction is detected in the EAX68284301 power supply module. In the absence of the necessary supply voltages in the secondary circuits of the converters, it is necessary to check the power switches (TO-252) and rectifier diodes for possible partial or complete breakdown.
In case of breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter, as a rule, can operate in an emergency in the short-circuit mode, and in case of a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse is usually cut off.
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 controllers (PWM) PFC, PWM, if they do not have visible damage to the case and an outright short circuit between the pins, are usually checked by replacement.
- No picture, sound, all other TV functions are working. When turned on, the image may sometimes appear for a second.
A malfunction is usually in these cases most likely in the backlight units of the display matrix. Usually the cause of the malfunction is in the breakage of the LEDs, or in the connectors of the LED strips, but sometimes the LED driver is also faulty.
Without a special current source, it is impossible to check the line of series-connected LEDs, and it is unsafe for them to use any voltage sources over 12V for this purpose. Then all that remains is to open the panel and check each LED separately. Typically, Chinese multimeters with a 9V power supply lightly light up one 3-volt LED if you connect the probes to it in the forward direction, the red probe to the anode, and the black one to the cathode. For dual 6-volt LEDs, the PN junction of its emergency zener diode can serve as an indicator of LED health. In the event of a malfunction of the LED, its zener diode will either be cut off, or broken through in the K / Z.
- The indicator on the front panel blinks, the TV does not turn on in operating mode, does not respond to the remote control.
Repair or diagnostics of the EAX68253605 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). When repairing an MB board, it is necessary to check its components CPU, DC / DC, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO. Defective elements must be replaced. If chips with BGA soldering technology are used, the problem in its implementation is detected by local heating of the chip.
If the TV operates normally from external devices, but does not tune to TV channels, the TDJA-Q701D tuner may malfunction. 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.
Attention! Users and owners of 55UM7300 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.



Additional MainBoard Repair
The appearance of the MainBoard EAX68253604 is shown in the figure below:

Main features of the LG 55UM7300 device:
Installed matrix (LED panel) AC550DQG-SLKM3_RA / LC550DQJ (SM) (A1).
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter combined with a power supply is used, controlled by an SO-8 PWM controller. TO-252 switches are used as power elements of the LED driver.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the LG 55UM7300 TV is carried out by the EAX68284301 power module, or its analogs using PFC, PWM microcircuits and power switches of the TO-252 type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is an EAX68253605 module, using CPU, DC / DC, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO and others.

Tuner TDJA-Q701D provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
