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!

PANASONIC TX-20LA70
General recommendations for TV LCD repair
Possible manifestations of defects
- PANASONIC TX-20LA70 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 remote control and control buttons.
With such manifestations, the TNP0EP008 power supply module usually fails. It is necessary to measure its output voltages, and if they are absent (full or partial), the serviceability of the power switches of the converters and rectifier diodes should be checked for a possible short circuit.
In case of any breakdown of semiconductors in the secondary circuits, the converter can usually operate normally in an emergency short-circuit mode. There are no output voltages. And with a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, as a rule, the mains fuse breaks and, less often, the current sensor in the source of the key.
The 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 regulators (PWM) MR4030-7102, if they have no visible damage to the case and an outright short circuit between the terminals, are usually checked by replacement.
- 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.
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. If all the electrolytic capacitors of the filter for the power supply of the inverter are in good working order, you should make sure that the lamps are in good condition, then you need to check the keys of the converter and the secondary windings of the transformers.
If, when diagnosing a malfunction, it is required to turn off the inverter protection, there is a risk of failure of the power elements of the inverter, and special care is required during work, and after they are completed, it is imperative to restore the protection circuits for further safe operation of the TV by the owner in normal mode.
- The TV does not go into operation, does not respond to the remote control. The indicator on the front panel is on or blinking.
Repair or diagnostics of the TNP0EA008 motherboard should begin with checking the stabilizers and power converters necessary to power the microcircuits and the matrix. If necessary, you should update or replace the software (software). Sometimes it is necessary to check or replace (if necessary) the elements of the MainBoard - CPU: VCT6753G-FA, EEPROM: 24C32. 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 ENGF7701GF tuner, first of all, you need to make sure that the software is correct, as well as the presence of the necessary levels of supply voltages and pulses of data exchange with the processor via the I2C bus on the corresponding terminals of the tuner.
Attention to TV owners! Attempts to repair PANASONIC TX-20LA70 on your own are not recommended by the manufacturer and can lead to serious negative consequences!

The main features of the PANASONIC TX-20LA70 device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) V201V1-T03 L5EDD5L00011 640x480 VGA 4: 3.
To power the backlight lamps, a converter combined with a power supply is used, controlled by the STR-H2003 PWM controller. TPC8022-H keys are used as power elements of the inverter.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PANASONIC TX-20LA70 TV is carried out by the TNP0EP008 power module, or its analogs using MR4030-7102 microcircuits.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a TNP0EA008 module, using CPU chips: VCT6753G-FA, EEPROM: 24C32 and others.
The ENGF7701GF tuner provides reception of television programs and tuning to channels.
