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.
