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
- TV PANASONIC TX-40FSR500 does not turn on and does not give any signs of turning on, does not respond to control buttons and to the remote control.
Usually, with similar manifestations, the defect is caused by faulty elements in the main TNP4G628 power supply module. Then you should measure its output voltages and, in case of their complete or partial absence, it is necessary to check the serviceability of the power switches and rectifier diodes of the converters for a possible short circuit.
In the event of diode breakdowns in the secondary circuits, the converter can operate in an emergency mode of short circuit without output voltages, and in the event of a short circuit in the power elements of the primary circuit, the mains fuse and / or the current sensor in the source of the key usually breaks off.
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) FA6B02N, BD9E102FJ, FA5696N (C0DBBYY00058), in the absence of external damage and short circuit between the terminals, are checked by replacing them with known good ones.
- 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.
The backlight of the matrix (LED panel) is usually faulty in these cases. The reason for this may be an open circuit in the LED circuit, or a problem in stabilizing their power supply.
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, does not respond to the remote control. The indicator blinks or signals the standby mode.
Repair or diagnostics of the TNP4G633 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). Repair of the board and replacement of PU: MT5581P 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.
Before replacing the C1AB00004164 DVB-T / T2 / C tuner, if there is no tuning to the channels, you must first check the software and the supply voltage at its outputs. It is also necessary to make sure that the tuner and processor can exchange data via the I2C bus
Attention! Users and owners of TX-40FSR500 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 may lead to complete non-repairability of the device.

The formation of the necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the PANASONIC TX-40FSR500 TV is carried out by the TNP4G628 power module, or its analogs using the FA6B02N, BD9E102FJ, FA5696N (C0DBBYY00058) microcircuits.

If the TV malfunctions during operation, you should not forget about the manufacturer's (seller's) warranty obligations, which are indicated in the accompanying documents.
If the PANASONIC TX-40FSR500 does not turn on or turns off, it is sometimes useful to check the sockets and extension cords where the TV is connected to the network.
If the PANASONIC TX-40FSR500 does not respond to commands from the remote control, but the control buttons on the panel work, there is a high probability of the remote control malfunction (the remote control does not work). It is advisable to check or replace the batteries in it.
If, while watching terrestrial or cable programs, you receive a no-signal (no signal) alert, check the antenna or cable connection.

You can make sure the TV is working from other external signal sources.
If there is no sound when watching analogue TV programs, you should check the sound system for Russia D / K (6.5 MHz), for Europe B / G (5.5 MHz) in the settings. In modern TVs for setting color and sound standards, the region is usually chosen - for  "East Europe" (Eastern Europe).
If PANASONIC TX-40FSR500 freezes, does not respond to the remote control and control panel buttons, sometimes Reset can help - rebooting the processor. To do this, you must disconnect the TV from the network by pulling out the power plug from the outlet, and turn it back on after 15-20 seconds.
