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-49FXR740
General recommendations for TV LCD LED repair
Possible manifestations of malfunctions
- PANASONIC TX-49FXR740 does not turn on, does not respond to buttons and the remote control, indicators on the front panel do not light or flash.
In such cases, you should start looking for a fault in the circuits of the TNPA6704 power supply. It is necessary to make sure that its output voltages are present and, if they are completely absent, check the power switches (TK10A60W, TK7A60W) and rectifier diodes for a possible short circuit.
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 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 controller, in frequency setting or damper circuits, as well as in negative feedback stabilization. PWM microcircuits (PWM) FA5696N, FA6B02N, BD9E102FJ are usually checked by replacing them with new ones, or known to be working properly.
- There is no picture, but there is sound and reaction to the remote control. Or, for a second, the image may appear immediately after switching on.
Usually, in such cases, there is no backlighting of the LED panel (matrix). Most often the reason for this is a break in the LEDs, or poor contact in the connectors of the brackets, less often the LED driver may be faulty.
It is impossible to check the line of series-connected LEDs without a special current source, and it is unsafe for them to use any voltage sources above 12V for this purpose. Then all that remains is to open the panel and check each LED separately. Usually, Chinese multimeters with 9V power supply lightly light one 3-volt LED, if you connect the probes to it in the forward direction, the red probe to the anode, 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 the 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 TV does not turn on, the indicator signals the standby or operating mode, or blinks.
Repair or diagnostics of the TNPH1197 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). Repair of the board and replacement of CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC / DC microcircuits are made if the necessary equipment and the corresponding element base are available. Malfunctions associated with the use of BGA soldering technologies can be localized by the warm-up method.
If the TV operates normally from external devices, but does not tune to TV channels, the 24H133A J3ACZAC00005 tuner may be faulty. 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 TX-49FXR740 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 can lead to complete non-repairability of the device.

Main features of the PANASONIC TX-49FXR740 device:
Installed matrix (LED panel) LC490EGE (AL) (A1).
Matrix control uses the 6870C-0780A Timing Controller (T-CON).
To power the backlight LEDs, a converter combined with the TNPH1197 main board is used, controlled by the BD9479FV - GE2 PWM controller. The keys of the P13F28HP2 type are used as power elements of the LED driver.
The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PANASONIC TX-49FXR740 TV is carried out by the TNPA6704 power module, or its analogs using the FA5696N, FA6B02N, BD9E102FJ microcircuits and power switches of the TK10A60W, TK7A60W type.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a TNPH1197 module using CPU, eMMC, DRAM, AUDIO, DC / DC chips and others.
