General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible manifestations of malfunctions
- The PANASONIC TX-32LX1F TV does not turn on and does not show any signs of operability at all. No response to the remote control and front panel control buttons.
In some of these cases, the main switching power supply, the TNPA3072 module, is faulty. In the absence of the necessary supply voltages in the secondary circuits of the converters, it is necessary to check the power switches and rectifier diodes for possible partial or complete breakdown.
In case of breakdowns of semiconductors in the secondary circuits of any converter, as a rule, it can operate in an emergency mode of short circuit without output voltages, and with a short circuit in the elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse most often breaks off immediately and less often the current sensor in the source of the key.
Mos-Fet keys used in switching power supplies usually fail due to a malfunction of other elements, which can disable it in key mode, or provoke an excess of the maximum current or voltage values. These can be circuits supplying the PWM controller, damper or frequency setting circuits, or OOS (negative feedback) elements in the stabilization circuit. PWM controllers (PWM), in the absence of external damage and short circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with a known good one.
- There is no image, there is sound, it reacts to the remote control. Or, immediately after switching on for a second, the image may appear and immediately disappear.
These manifestations can be provoked by the power module, or by defects in the inverter, as well as by the skew of currents in the lamps due to their uneven wear. After checking all the electrolytic capacitors of the filters that are involved in the power supply of the inverter, you should ring the power switches in its converter for breakdown and the secondary windings of the transformers for an open.
Sometimes, for diagnostic purposes, it is necessary to disable the inverter protection. In such cases, special care must be taken during work, and the protective circuits must be restored immediately after the repair is completed.
- 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 TNPA3075 motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters required to power the microcircuits and the matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Complicated repair of MB (SSB) board is in some cases possible and practiced by repairmen. To do this, check and, if necessary, replace elements K4S643232H, THC63LVDM83R. Malfunctions in BGA chips are usually easy to detect by warm-up.
If there is no reception of TV channels, but the TV is working properly from external devices, first of all, you need to check the supply voltage of the ENG29526G tuner (TNPH0566 board) and update the software. I2C communication pulses must be monitored with an oscilloscope.
Once again, we remind TV users: do not try to repair yourself without the appropriate knowledge, experience and the necessary qualifications! Trust the repairs to professionals with sufficient experience in the field of electronic repair.

The main features of the PANASONIC TX-32LX1F device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) LTA320W1-L01.
Matrix control uses a Timing Controller (T-CON) 320W1-L01.
The inverter K021055.02 is used to power the backlight lamps.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PANASONIC TX-32LX1F TV is carried out by the TNPA3072 power module, or its analogs.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a TNPA3075 module, using the K4S643232H, THC63LVDM83R and others.
The ENG29526G tuner (TNPH0566 board) provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
